Bobby Eaton’s Wife Reveals The Rock Contacted Her When He Went Missing

Bobby Eaton was a guest on Bill Apter’s “Is Wrestling Fixed?” podcast yesterday, where they were eventually joined by Eaton’s wife (and Bill Dundee’s daughter) Donna. She spoke about when Eaton went missing last year and how The Rock reached out to her after it happened.

She said: “I do want to thank everyone Bill. When Bobby was missing, his blood sugar was down and he was a little confused. I want to thank everybody. Especially Dewey who is The Rock. I want to thank him for being the first person, out of his bust schedule, to reach out to Bobby. I want him to know that my Mom always adored his Mom and thank you so much. It meant so much to me.”

Apter added: “A lot of people don’t know that “Dewey” was The Rock’s nickname when he was a child.”

Donna continued: “Right. That’s how I knew him. As “Dewey”. I remember him as a little boy they (The Rock’s family) used to stay at the Days Inn and we would go over there. They’d go have dinner and I’d watch him and Jamie (Dundee). That meant the world to me because I know how busy he is. The fact that he was the first to reach out just touched my heart. My mother adores his mother. She is wonderful.”

Finally, Apter wrapped up the talk by saying, “He has not let the stardom and the money he has made go to his head. He’s still a down to earth guy.”
