Eric Embry is the All-American Boy. He doesn't like heavy metal. He doesn't like rock 'n' roll. All he likes to listen to is Barry Manilow. This is another example of a match that's been put forward as a possible extra, but that I really don't see why it shouldn't go on as an actual match. In fact, I would dare say that this is the best Southwest match I've seen so far, and the first I've seen that stands a real chance of making my overall top 10. The entire babyface locker room emptying to rally behind Embry was amazing, and the match really comes off as larger than life.

The Sheepherders (Jonathan Boyd & Luke Williams) vs. Brickhouse Brown & Eric Embry (6/6/83)

 

Sheeps really work over Brick as they basically destroy Brick’s left arm. Embry would get the hot tag and the crowd was into it and as this was going on, Sweet Brown Sugar took Brick to the dressing room. Embry goes to town on the Sheeps until he missed a reverse splash off the middle rope. The fans chant for Casey as Embry gets beat on but Sugar comes back out with Mando Guerrero cheering Embry on from the floor. Embry fights his heart out as the fans go nuts for him but the Sheeps would finish him off. I liked this whole segment a lot and I think it’s extra material as they really got Embry over here.
