Man as a Memphian and an old man I remember watching these when they came out it was great,still great rip andy

@goldenagenut Год назад

Kaufman should have been hired to train the heels on how to bring the heat. Fans in Tennessee wanted to kill Kaufman, not figuratively, literally! Challenging all of the women in the auditorium, genius! 😂

@stream_gene 6 месяцев назад

Totally! I don't think there has been someone from the outside of wrestling, before or since, who got it so perfectly well and as fast as Kaufman did. We've had celeb guests who have been able to work a match athletically speaking, think Stephan Amell, Floyd Mayweather, etc, but in terms of character and getting heat, Andy, hands down.

Male wrestler? Andy Kaufman was the most courageous, iconoclastic entertainer of his day. None of the comedians today has one tenths the balls that this guy had.

@user-dc1dr9kr8x Год назад

@ffvffv5709 7 месяцев назад

Kaufman a complete and total legend in comedy walks in naively to the Mid South locker room and becomes the only crossover act that truly "got it" and drew real money. It's as if Jordan breezed pass triple A ball, straight to the majors and hits 30 home runs in his rookie season. Props to Lawler for giving Andy his due when it came to where the angle lead. Lawler was a charismatic force of nature that succeeded and drew in spite of his own insipid, shoe string budget booking, not because of it. You just knew it was more of Andy's stuff in the angle.

@Rydonattelo 4 месяца назад

It's so crazy. Imagine if there actually was a man that only wanted to compete against woman in sports. If there was an entitled man who actually believed it was his right to compete against only woman and beat them. That's why wrestling is great because its just so over the top. Obviously in something real like swimming or weightlifting something like this would never happen.

@samuelwoods164 Год назад

You haven't heard of this? In 1999 Jim Carrey played him in a movie called "Man on the moon" it's about his life but a good portion is about his wrestling, so... Did you also not know him and Lawler went on Letterman after this and let Andy was wearing a neck brace getting in Lawlers face threatening to sue and Lawler slapped him out of his seat, it was huge news because a lot of people still believed wrestling was real and even if not it seemed real AF, Lawler played himself in the movie, it's one of my favourites.
