One of the most awesome angles I ever saw in my life! Kaufman should be in the hall of fame for what he did. Hands down one of the greatest feuds of all time. I was stationed in the Memphis area during that time and this is all anyone ever talked about. Kaufman drew nuclear level heat. Great times!
Not comparable to other feuds exactly but this is the funniest in history. Lawler extreme creativity also. Pure non stop drama but hilarious. Hard to beat.
My buddy Lenny from New Jersey turned me onto this video. Thanks, brother! We were golf caddies together at Preakness Hills Country Club in Wayne, New Jersey in the 1980's
Jerry did an incredible job selling the feud on Letterman. I knew that they had to have practiced that piledriver move, but I had no idea that Jerry taped the wrestler promo stuff. 😄
he used to wrestle women out of the audience, like they didn't set up anything so he really had to pin these women. I think its hilarious. After the Lawler feud they kept using andy kaufman in all kinds of angles, with jimmy hart and stuff. I wish we had memphis wrestling on tv growing up, i only found out about it later. I would've loved it.
One of the bios, either Zehme or Zmuda, says those Southerners were calling him a Yankee Jew and wanted him dead. 🫣 He wanted "real" reactions... that's "really" the South lol.
I knew nothing of Andy Kaufman and only learned of him through this angle/work with Lawler. Pretty good stuff for competing against Vince McMahon/ WWF.

Thank you very much yes it me Andy
He was inducted in the WWE HOF last yr!
Those were best golden years that will forever be in my memories from when i was a kid long live the king's Jerry & Andy
Jerry Lawler was perfect for Andy Kaufman. He understood Andy and what he was trying to do. Kaufman was lucky that Vince Sr. turned him down.
Thank you very much yes it me Andy

LOL, This is a bar of soap. Then all of Memphis wants Lawler to kill Kaufman. Brilliant! I love it.
Haw-haw!!!
I love those promos, they are so... he comes off as a huge smug asshole, and it works, because his character was a hollywood style heel.

Hello yes I did and yes it me andy and yesI'm alive and well and thank you very much
I thought Letterman said he knew what was going to happen.
He did, but Jerry didn't know that he knew.
Hello it me Andy yes I’m alive and will
Lawler, Why dont you retire before you embarass yourself!
