Update #7: Final Kickstarter Blowout Memphis Heat Sneak Peek!
Friends and wrestling fans!
Only 5 days to go to reach the bullwhip at the top of the ladder. Help us get there before the heels pull us down!
It has been a blast taking this Kickstarter plunge! We thank everyone who has pledged for all of your help and support raising the final editing funds for this documentary. We have posted 7 insanely great samples of good-times Memphis wrestling clips taken from Memphis Heat: The True Story of Memphis Wrasslin'. If you like what you have seen so far (and we hope you have!), please tell your family, friends, and neighbors to make a small donation, pre-order the dvd, or become an Andre the Giant-sized supporter of this soon-to-be finished film. We think we have one of the finest films to come out this year.
Try one more final clip below of Super-Nice, "Superstar" Bill Dundee explaining how he and George Barnes entered the Memphis wrestling world from Australia and developed into one of the longest, best-running feuds with Jerry Lawler of all time!
