I was hoping that would be more ironic than it was since I was thinking of Tennessee heel Embry. There was a really funny one I saw from a year or two later with Jeff Jarrett done to the tune of America the Beautiful. Just so cheesy. He should have remade it in TNA some years later as a heel.

Hold up...ESPN Classic? So an ESPN USWA show aired footage from that?!!? (Surprising, as knowing ESPN, with all the blood we'd probably see the crowd of the Sportatorium until they cut to commercial) I do think USWA didn't return to ESPN until 1990-91 though. I believe its inception was syndicated only, no? Nothing beats this video though, also Jeff Jarrett: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QMUz0WBbZE |

Safe to assume that they had just about as much of a right to broadcast the video using that song as a random YouTube uploader has to post it now. |

Two thoughts, while watching this. 1. Slow motion really makes Embry's punches look bad. 2. Slow motion really exposes Tojo (or is that Hickerson?) cutting his forehead mid-bump at 1:13. On ESPN. Ha! |

Ha, that Jarrett video is basically the America the Beautiful video with the HS students edited in doing "That's Fabulous!" He seriously should have done a remake of that in TNA as a heel around the time he was stretching kids in the MMA dojo. Would have been amazing.

I always hated Eric Embry. That video doesn't change my mind!

All I remember about Eric Embry is Foley saying he walked around naked backstage due to having a big crank, but stopped when Ron Fuller came to the territory and had a bigger crank.

Eric Embry and Rob Fuller are the anti Seth Rollins.

I love Eric Embry. He probably edited that himself and picked the song. Probably drunk & naked. His self booking as the top babyface in Dallas was comical at times, but he was over.

Professional wrestling has no peer when it comes to the cringey use of stolen pop music.

Kind of surprised that they didnt use the Willie Nelson version actually.

Every time I glanced at Eric Embry's tv matches he was always catching a beating whether he was in Texas or Puerto Rico. I seen him live in P.R., everyone was chanting at him "Erica, Erica!" He was always getting carried out on a stretcher, but at World Wrestling Council shows that was not an unusual occurance.
