as "a night off" due to Eaton's in-ring offense that looked convincing but did not hurt his opponents. For much of his career, Eaton was a tag team wrestler. As one-half of The Midnight Express, he utilized "quick tags" and "innovative double-team maneuvers". Missy Hyatt described The Midnight Express as being able to "go forty-five minutes in the ring and never repeat a move". Reputation Eaton was often regarded as one of the nicest people in the wrestling business, even though he wrestled as a heel for a majority of his career. In his 1999 book Have a Nice Day, Mick Foley praised Eaton as being one of the most underrated superstars in the business, and its nicest, commenting: "It was damn near impossible to pay for anything with Bobby around, though I will confess to not trying that hard." Jim Cornette and Sean Waltman noted that Eaton would regularly travel with an extra suitcase filled with toiletries, socks, and other oft-forgotten items that he would give to anyone who needed them, which Steve Austin recalled in his 2001 autobiography The Stone Cold Truth. Personal life Family Eaton was married to Bill Dundee's daughter Donna (born October 2, 1963). When they first started dating, they had to keep the relationship secret from her father, as her father had forbidden her from dating the wrestlers he was booking. When Dundee found out she was dating Eaton, he relented because Eaton was such a nice man. Married in 1981, Eaton and Donna had four children: Jason (born 1982), Dustin (born 1984), Taryn (born 1986), and Dylan (born 1988); Dylan is also a professional wrestler. Donna died on June 26, 2021, at the age of 57 from breast cancer. Health issues In September 2006, it was reported that Eaton was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack. Eaton later released a statement saying that he did not have a heart attack, but was instead diagnosed with high blood pressure with "a hint of" diabetes. After that, he suffered with several health issues, especially cardiac problems which saw him hospitalized on several occasions. In June 2013, Eaton underwent successful surgery to have a pacemaker inserted. On July 24, 2021, it was reported that Eaton suffered a fall at his home in Nashville, breaking several fingers and injuring his hip. Death On August 4, 2021, just over a month after his wife's death, Eaton died in
