- July 16, 1983 from Memphis TV. This segment opens with Jimmy Hart vs Andy Kaufman from the Mid-South Coliseum on July 11, 1983. Hart's First Family jumps Andy during the match. Kaufman says he wants revenge on Hart and attempts to recruit arch-enemy Jerry Lawler to be his partner against the Mouth of the South. But could this be a set up?
This whole thing was so well done by everyone involved.
This is way better than today's bunch'a roided out bad actors.
Oh yeah
The 1980s was the best time for pro wrestling in my opinion.
1:32 "Mr. Lawler, Jerry, Whatever,..." Brilliant comedy!
When you listen to Lawler talk about this, it's obvious how much he loved Kaufman and wishes they had been able to go with this for years.
They were best friends. Kaufman stayed at his house.
And the whole time Andy and Hart were setting Lawler up.The epic heel genius.
Aww, you gave away the ending.
I could watch 80's wrestling all day long, this garbage that the WWE is spewing is revolting.
Nowadays they memorize scripts
This is where you noticeably see a change in Kaufmans complexion, he is starting to look sick here but I dont think he even knew he had cancer yet.
Andy was so funny.
Great promos.
Wrestling has been lacking this since Vince rang the bell in Montreal.
You mean since the screwjob?
Yep Kayfabe dead, business exposed. The Attitude era was a "flash in the pan" so to speak. It worked because the business was being exposed, people were interested in that, and all of the "adult stuff" were things we never thought we'd see wrestlers do. It probably hurt the business in the long run.
This is gold
Fascinating theatre...just look at the faces of those people in the audience...if that isn't hubris and suspension of disbelief; I don't know what is...Genius.
i was in hospital 16th july 1983. that#s my birthday...
HA! HA! HA! What a great setup for the continuation of the epic Kaufman-Lawler-Hart feud and a predictably massive and despicable betrayal that is surely coming...... and the audience EATS it up!!!!! Are people this easily controlled and manipulated? Does a bear shit in the woods? HA! HA! HA! Wonderful work by Kaufman and Lawler.
Andy turned on Hart ..big mistake ...he found out what a true heel does ..
Don't trust him King, I think it's a setup!
2:08-2:09 Now, you see when andy did it it was kind of annoying but when lawler does it i find it downright hilarious, don't know why but I do
The 80s when wrestling was like a comedy show, between Jerry Lawler and Andy Kaufman.
Kaufman is bluffing 2:45
Lego head Lawler.
Back when America was great again.
The looks on the faces of that hick audience cracks me up. 😂
Look at these hillbilly's eating this up!
Not sure what hills you are referring to. Long way to the Ozarks and the Smokey’s. Can’t get much flatter terrain than The Delta terrain all around Memphis.
$10000 then worth $36000 in 2024
AAWWWWW Here comes Sweet Daddy-O
Kaufman looks a little white here to me
I Believe that This Was Around the Time Both "Taxi" Was Canceled & the Cancer Diagnosis Simultaneously (from Some Versions of the Story & Timeline)
I always wondered why Sweet Daddy Siki never wrestled in Big 3 areas of Florida,Georgia or the Mid-Atlantic. He would have been great.
You guys missed the boxing schtick that Kaufman did during this run.
She didn't know the dentist ever existed...
Sweet Daddy-O FTW!
1:04 awesome acting (and a hot lady right after!)
Correction: hot ladies 😂😂
@Blackjack777666 Most people would have thought he was a "sawed off shrimp". I did...
How tall was Andy?
6' 1"
This is really a great moment
0:19 "Oh, here comes Sweet Daddy-O!"
