April 1, 201312 yr Author comment_5540592 Eric Embry is out with Tojo and Miss Texas. He's not at all happy about the contract manipulation we saw in the previous segment, and threatens to slap Jamie Dundee at McDonalds if he sees him there. Embry addresses Lawler, who is close to a return, and they've done a great job building anticipation for that eventual matchup.
April 9, 201312 yr comment_5541562 Embry is seething over the reinstatement over the Mighty Mouse of the Mid-South. Embry makes threats towards Lawler and hypes the arrival of "The Texas Ranger" and his opponent, "The Lone Ranger." Oh, that's not confusing or anything.
May 3, 201312 yr comment_5543822 Mighty Mouse of the Mid South is a nice one. Embry makes threats to the Dundees and the soon to return Lawler.
July 27, 201312 yr comment_5553504 Good Embry promo and I do like the buildup we have gotten with Embry vs. Lawler which feels really fresh still.
May 27, 201510 yr comment_5670642 Great interview from Embry, as he threatens both Dundees and Lawler. I haven't seen the Bill/Jamie segment yet, but if it was pulled off the way I read about it, I don't blame Embry for being upset. Everybody knows the William Dundee who was in the match, and it wasn't Jamie. As I've said before, this was a clever way to keep at least one top-flight Memphis face available to fight Embry until Lawler was cleared to return. By the way, it looks like Lawler's doctor is holding him to the six weeks he wanted him to take off in the first place. I could have sworn that Embry was on TV while Corey was co-hosting with Dave before this, so I don't quite get the "I don't know who you are" bit, unless it's just another way of relegating Corey to "Mr. TV Announcer" status a la Ernie Ladd. One question: We know from AJ's post up above that Doug Gilbert was the Lone Ranger. But who ended up being the mystery Texas Ranger that Embry brought in to fight Lawler?
May 27, 201510 yr comment_5670652 Memphis was plagued by masked gimmicks around this time but I *think* I remember it being Jeff Gaylord. Aren't you glad you asked?
May 28, 201510 yr comment_5670685 Not really, Pete. I'll bet the fans knew who it was pretty quickly, if indeed it was him. It's not like he hadn't been there for most of the past year or anything. Thanks for the info!
