3. Eric Embry vs Steve Casey - cage match

 

This is another good bout between the 2. Embry stooging around was great. Again the crowd is hot. Embry is such a great worker. I loved how the cage was used as a weapon. Casey looked good as well. This feels like a nomination to me.

Best of 3 Series for the World Class Lt. Heavyweight Title – Match 3 – Steel Cage Match: Eric Embry © vs. Steve Casey (7/22/88)

 

Embry gets thrown into the cage early and often with Casey punching at the wounds and keeping up the offensive barrage as Embry bleeds trying to find a way out of the cage. Embry tries to climb out but Casey would end up crotching him on the top rope. Embry would get some offense in before missing a diving headbutt off the top rope allowing Casey to make a comeback throwing Embry back in the cage again a few times. Casey would accidentally hit John Keaton the referee after a leapfrog allowing Embry to get some powder but he missed on the attempt. Casey would hit a bulldog headlock but Keaton was still down allowing Embry to go back in his tights where he would pull out some knux to KO Casey and to keep his title. This was a fun match and another one I’m throwing on the block as a low-end nomination.

Casey seems solid enough, but this is really an epic one-man show from Embry. This moves forward.
