I've been getting into old Midnight Express matches as of late, along with some solo Bobby Eaton fare. I have to ask, especially old school fans, what are some must-watch matches for him?
I will say I prefer Eaton with Stan Lane over Dennis, but I'm open to suggestions, either way.

Beautiful Bobby vs Arn Anderson at Superbrawl (I believe it is) is a great match in my eyes.
Beautiful Bobby vs Ric Flair for the World Heavyweight Belt at Clash of the Champions XV
I love those two so much. The commentators do a really good job too. And in one spot, I used to swear Eaton gets a three count, and I contest it and the outcome. I'll see if you can find it. (It's actually just a perception thing, but I like those little "what if" things in wrestling where it makes the competition and wins/losses matter vibe the way it should be.

He's known as one of the greatest tag wrestlers ever, but yet somehow, I still think the guy is criminally underrated

He and Arn had great chemistry as both opponents and partners

I wonder if any of his matches with Savage from before either of them were famous have surviving footage out there. I've never seen them, but I've heard they were brilliant.

I loved The Midnights match with the R'n'R Express at the 87 Bash. It's the first time I witnessed a Frankensteiner. Good stuff

The Midnights vs. Fantastics from GAB 1988 was pretty good as well.
But I liked their Mid-South stuff a lot as well, their feuds with JYD/Watts/Rock N Roll Express drew crazy heat there.

Bobby/Dennis were better as a heel team where as Bobby/Stan were better as a face team. Also Bobby/Dennis worked at a time when TV and Closed Circuit wasn't the priority of Mid South or Crockett, but just as a way to advertise the house shows in your area. Where as Bobby/Stan worked at a time when TV/PPV was becoming a priority in Crockett/WCW.

You should watch the match where he adjusts his tights after executing a move.
