I actually cried the day Bobby Eaton died and I heard Jim Cornettes reaction, He was genuinley upset that the world lost a great person and obviously someone he had grown close to. I grew up watching Bobby as well and always thought he was amazing in the ring. To hear JC tell all those amazing Bobby stories was just a treat.

One of the greatest injustices in Wrestling is that we never got a Midnight Express v Hart Foundation match. Imagine how good that would have been in 1989

Bobby Eaton was such a good man that he passed away in his sleep (the best way to pass away) of a broken heart from his wife passing away 1 month earlier.

6:21 - Bobby Eaton quoting Jim Carrey's The Mask is something I never knew I needed.

I love how you’re telling the story of how nice Bobby Eaton was while showing video of him throwing a guy tailbone first onto concrete, from six feet in the air hahah.

The Midnight Express theme music is so good that if you were put on hold by a call centre and they played you that, you wouldn't mind too much.

That theme is a "Jimmy Hart" version of the Georgio Moroder Midnight Express theme

This is another example of Bobby Eaton being a great person. Arn Anderson & Bobby lived in the same neighborhood for a number of years in the Charlotte area. Arn said Bobby's house was where all the neighborhood kids & Dads would hang out. Arn said he had every kids favorite candy on hand all times, Arn described it as everyone's favorite place to be!!

The midnight express entrance music is a track called the chase, produced by some Italian dude named Giorgio Moroder and was the soundtrack theme tune for the 1978 film "MIDNIGHT EXPRESS". Also I believe the midnight express entrance was the first wrestling entrance to have its own entrance music.

Stan Lane is now also famous for NOT being Lauren Boebert's father!🤣 Loved the Midnight Express back when they started showing WCW on British TV, perfect combination with Jim Cornette!😎

lol I don't know why but I'm a mark for the Z-Man. One of my favorite parts of early '90s WCW PPVs is seeing the Z-Man wrestle. 😂

Also, R.I.P. Bobby Eaton.
