Loved his work. He was both a great heal and babyface. Was a good booker for WCCW too. He wasnt afraid to take tremendous bumps; especially falling from that six man scafold match in 1988. That scafold was the highest one I've ever seen.
Embry was on fire in Texas, even as that territory was on the road to its demise. Gotta give Corino credit, too. First time I saw Corino was not in a ring but on a random (and fun) RF video where he was walking around some mall. Two legends of the business.
Dale Mann ran as much as 4 nights a week at one point, sometimes 5. He was a good promoter and his shows were good. He even did tours out west and had shows on many Native American Reservations. He went farther out than even Memphis in his day. He just didn't have the TV or magazine coverage, nor the budget. Most of his talent were well trained and could work. Dale even worked with Memphis and the Poffo's at points in his day. I think he was ahead of the other "outlaw" promotions that Mr. Embry mentioned. Most of those "outlaw" promoters were cons and crooks, that over time has changed the truth to be how great many were. It's just not the truth. Dale was always honest with me, and I believe he was better than the other "outlaw" promoters mentioned here. I wished the word "outlaw" was no longer used to refer to these people and just say Independent Promoters. Eric is a great storyteller, in and out of the ring!
I remember back in Baltimore on wnuv 54, they had wrestling on 7 days a week. we were watching from all terrorists. This is why I thought the Nwa was a better product than then the clown show that the wwf had back then during the early 80s.
Eric Embry is one of the true underappreciated legends of this business, both as a wrestler and a booker.
Eric was a great heal love watching Eric back in mimphis back in the 70 and still love watching him on utub today he's was amazing
Eric’s heel run in Memphis in 1991 is freaking amazing. He had sooooo much heat.
