Posted January 15, 200916 yr comment_5436785 World Class Lt. Heavyweight Title: “Flamboyant” Eric Embry © vs. Cactus Jack (2/17/89) Percy Pringle does the commentary for the match as he is starting a petition to bring back Embry. Cactus went balls out here bumping all over the place for Embry who was working his official last match in the promotion but really wasn’t working like it. Embry worked this like a regular match which was odd since Cactus was the reason why he lost the loser leaves town match. This match still worked for me though because Cactus was such a machine here and Embry finally got motivated at the end when he started working over Cactus leading to Pringle coming down to ringside to go after Akbar as Embry used a gimmicked cowboy boot to get the win. Unlike shoe I think this goes on the block as it was pretty wild and Cactus was so awesome.
January 15, 200916 yr comment_5436786 . Eric Embry vs Cactus Jack - Embry's last match Fuck that was a huge back corner bump from Jack. Some of Jacks bumps throughout the match were insane. I can see why wrestlers thought he's be in a wheelchair at age 35. This was alright.Jack's bumps saved an otherwise lackluster bout. I dug Cactus Jack's piledriver. I liked how he worked Embry's neck, but the work was uninspired. Not a nomination.
March 15, 201015 yr comment_5448429 If nothing else, this was probably Foley's first really great singles match. I am not as down on Embry's showing here as you guys are, either. He did some fine brawling early, and then spent most of the rest of the match getting his ass kicked by Jack. I liked his comeback at the end, with Mick taking another huge bump, and then Embry grabbing the gold-tipped cowboy boot to use against Jack and get his comeuppance. I second the nomination.
June 4, 201015 yr comment_5451630 I am sort of torn in the middle here. I enjoyed the match. I thought both guys were active and Jack was tkaing some wild bumps as would be his M.O. However, I don't think it was high-end enough to give more than a low-level nomination and at this point, it isn't good enough to move into the LOVE section. I also compared it to the PY match and the Dundee tag and I thought those smoked this.
