He was married to the epic ringrat herself: Missy Hyatt. An incredibly underrated talent. Hot Stuff International (?, his UWF stable), was great. Introduced us to two very green guys known as the Bladerunners. One of those guys became a famous maniac. The other became the franchise for the next promotion he went to.

He was, in many ways, the prototype of modern wrestling. In both the good AND bad sense. There were many who went out the way he did, but he was one of the first.

Eddie was very unique. It's a shame that car accident he had caused him to go to painkillers to continue.
