I’ll admit it. I’m a closet lowbrow. I love pulp fiction. Growing up, when all the other kids were reading The Catcher In The Rye, I had my head buried in a Doc Savage novel or Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar. Edgar Rice Burroughs may not have been an artful prose stylist, but he sure as hell knew how to spin a yarn. Okay, so I’ve grown up now, and I appreciate works more “mature” than the kind of paperbacks you find on an airport book rack. But between you and me, I can’t seem to kick my silly addiction for sci fi melodramas, especially those featuring idealized warrior heroes. While I adore Star Trek: The Next Generation for being smarter and more sophisticated than its progenitor, the kid in me still misses—just a little—Captain Kirk, sweaty and shirtless, kicking some alien ass.

As a big fan of the Memphis pro wrestling territory, to say I was ecstatic about getting my hands on the Memphis Heat documentary would be an understatement. I did and the 90 minute video is every bit as exciting and intense as the promotion was back in its heyday.
