There was a Night of Appreciation for Bobby Eaton last night in Knoxville. Brad Logan won Battle Royal, Jax Dane b The Barbarian, Ryan Dookie & Shane Williams & Bobby Fulton & Brad Thomas (managed by Tracy Smothers) b George South & Bill Dundee & Stan Lee & Beau James, Jordan Cage b Gustavo Aguilar, Matt Sigmon & Elliott Russell b Brandon & Brent Tate (who used to be The Boys in ROH). Kenzie Paige Henry & Dream Girl Ellie b Sahara Seven & Cali Young, Chase Owens b Crazzy Steve, Devin Devine & Mik Drake b Richard Holliday & Paul Roma.
Gary Michael Cappetta did ring announcing at the show. Jim Cornette handled the ceremony which included taped messages from Road Warrior Animal, Teddy Long, Luke Williams, The Steiner Brothers, Nikita Koloff, Raven, Enzo Amore, The Rock & Roll Express, The Revival and Steve Austin. Austin said he was the biggest Eaton fan, said Eaton was the best and that he taught him so much. In the 80s, Eaton was always considered as one of the elite in-ring wrestlers in the world, like the top tier. Also there for the show were Les Thatcher, Bobby Fulton, William Regal, David Taylor and Tom Prichard. Long after the Midnight Express, Eaton was part of the Blue Bloods with Regal & Taylor in WCW. Dustin Eaton said his father was awesome. Regal said he asked for Eaton to be his tag team partner. Eaton was given a championship belt that called him "Lifetime legend" and the crowd reacted huge.
