Bobby Eaton appeared on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling being able to talk at length with a true technician and ring general, the man simply known as The Beautiful One. From his classic tag team matches teaming with Dennis Condrey and Stan Lane as part of The Midnight Express to his impressive run as a singles wrestler in various territories throughout the United States. Here are the highlights.
Facing Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions XV for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship:
Flair is one of my favorite guys. That match was a  2 out of 3 falls match but we had a couple of them before to make sure it worked. We did something’s for Saturday Night TV when they had that show and he was a good guy to work for. He is my friend.
Working with Paul Heyman and The Dangerous Alliance:
Just about everything was good working with those guys. They were all good workers. You think about it and it’s not just me saying it but I hope everybody knew about Steve Austin. I always knew that this guy was going to become a star. He needed something, but they just didn’t know what to do with him. TBS just didn’t know what to do. It was a fun time in The Dangerous Alliance. They were four or five and all guys who loved the wrestling business. Rick Rude really loved the wrestling business. We would have four man teams, tag teams or single matches and nobody would go home early. You would have to wait around until the end of the night. Rick Rude and Steamboat had some of the greatest matches that I’ve ever seen.
The War Games 92, The Dangerous Alliance vs. Sting’s Squadron:
I was hurt when he (Larry Zybysko) hit me with the turnbuckle, I was actually really hurt on that. The week before the pay per view I did something at the TBS taping in Atlanta and threw my shoulder out, I think I actually broke my collar bone. So I couldn’t do anything besides the finish of the match and that was hitting me with the turnbuckle. I was sad about that because I couldn’t do anything the whole pay per view. Paul E took me to the Emergency Room that night and I only fell about a foot but I landed wrong and it just broke my collar bone.
Steve Austin praising Bobby Eaton to the next generation of fans on The Steve Austin Podcast:
Well that costs me a couple thousand dollars a month for him to say that (laughs) and it’s nice of him to say that but I wouldn’t go that far. I do love the wrestling business and I tried to do my best to fill the seats the way I was taught. When they (WCW) let Steve Austin go they weren’t doing that great anyway at the time but Steve Austin was working his butt off. They were trying to do something. Who else could we have put the world title on at TBS and who could have been the next world champion? Besides the same ones like Barry Windham and Flair. Steve Austin seemed like a natural one to me.
