Andy Kaufman Boxes Jerry Lawler Wrestling Full Fight!

[@jeffsipley3154]

Pure theatre and love every minute. So many people never and still don’t understand him. I loved every minute. I was a kid when all this was going on and I knew what he was doing. Just genius.

[@mateowannacomedyremasterz6605]

Absolutely agree 👍 i love jim Carey, but man on the moon created a perception that he was an overrated wacky jerk 🙄 I love your content ❤️

[@PAN-jo2go]

This is the genius of Andy Kaufman…Even to this day people still don’t know the joke was on them, the audience…

[@sbdno10]

There will never be another like Andy Kaufman. A one of a kind.

Wtf is so funny about him? He's a fucking idiot! Nothing else!

for sure . One of a kind . I am not sure Jerry Lawler got the joke. With Andy you never knew where the gag stopped

[@garthreynolds1437]

Far better than Jake and Logan Paul

[@putler965]

Pro wrestling in its purest form.

[@kurtb8474]

I've heard the back story. Andy and Lawler weren't the enemies we thought they were. They were friends and the rivalry was all an act. Even the David Letterman show. Recently Lawler stated how he was sad when Andy passed away and he still misses him.

[@kevinjohnson-lf3kj]

Thanks for da Update...Please remind Us everything we already knew.

[@DeathLord-xy9fv]

I heard the fight was rigged😲 Andy wasn't really that great if an athlete😮

It's wrestling bro we know it's it's a work...dam

[@allenbinion1575]

Kaufman truly just pissed people off. Hahaha he was great.

[@mattferrerisLA]

Why was he using boxing gloves

[@mattferrerisLA]

Jimmy Hart should of let him piledrive Kauffman

one of the best Heels and he could cut a damn good promo

matt ferreris he challenged lawler again and in his promos he said he was trained by muhammud Ali and wanted to box him instead to wrestle him

Well, for those interested: there's a blu-ray set released by the WWE about Jerry Lawler (called "It's Good to Be the King") which includes two remastered matches against Andy Kaufman (truly remastered from the original tapes)

[@seebee6804]

He could have been the greatest heel manager of all time well into the 90s

[@alvarovargasbang-wutang8461]

I was such a huge fan in the 90s of WWF and the early 2000s. Much respect to Jerry The King Lawler watching the Andy Kaufman movie I had to check it out before the Wrestling scene.

u can't teach Kaufman's heel heat just brilliant he was great bad guy like he wanted to be RIP Andy

So awesome I never seen this ever and he was so awesome at pissing people off but was a good hearted person man on the moon showed the side of him that only his friends new about him

[@mateowannacomedyremasterz6605]

I remastered all these videos of Andy Kaufman wrestling & promoting his wrestling. This is I think the only video that hasn't been pulled for copyright. Is bullshit. I advertise the DVD in the description. I originally bought it from Amazon I think 🤔

[@deszyoliver_]

gawd dang im loving Kaufman working the mic and the crowd

[@epoch1981]

This joke is older than I am and it NEVER gets old 🤣

[@Votedjt2024]

Andy Kaufman is best stand up comedian and tv show on taxi and SNL and memphis wrestling

[@Rjensen2]

Kaufman was never a comedian. If he was still alive he'd say the same thing.

[@keithstuartgoldstraw9682]

Andy Kaufman is a great fighter, he proves to Jerry Lawler he's a brilliant performer in the ring.

[@hanoitripper1809]

6:45 Lawler shows a duty of care to try to soften Kaufmans fall.. they were mates haha

[@dravendfr]

It works too because people could interpret that as him trying to keep Andy from escaping.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Not a duty. Better. Real compassion actually. Duty would be his boss telling him to drop Andy, and he has to do it even if he knows it is wrong. Unfortunately, many of our Police are in the same situation today, so "duty" is not really such a great thing.

Coming from a independent Wrestler, I must say Lawyer is a genius for doing this angle. That's the one thing every wrestler, watches, and listens for is the fans, and they ate it up!

[@mateowannacomedyremasterz6605]

Thank you for your service =)

[@natn41r]

andy is a trained heel. look at the way he stamps on lawler. stamp with the right but the real impact/noise is from his left foot.

I think this was Andy's final appearance in wrestling in November 1983. Andy would pass away months later in May 1984.

Thanks for the expanded context ♥

[@BiLLz66614]

I wish so badly he would've lived his entire life . It would've been so cool to see what else he may have done in wrestling. Sad he was robbed of his years. But so glad he got to live his dream with wrestling.

[@SalvableRuin]

He did live his entire life, as do all people

[@phenomenalone7134]

Andy wasnt in WWE, he was in a regional wrestling promotion (as the wrestling industry was just that, small regional companies) run by Jerry Jarrett and Jerry Lawler called CWA, operating out of Memphis TN, so that description is wrong

Also known as the Memphis territory

This is only a small taste. Andy's instinctual ability to spin up a crowd was unmatched. See the tape of of his other Memphis match, on the mic calling them all hicks and teaching them about soap and toilet paper. Or actually wrestling and pinning enraged women on live TV during the peak of Women's Lib, promising to make them his bride if they could beat him. Hahahaha.....

Kaufman may not be with us anymore, but, Lawler is - any legal experts, know if we could still sue Lawler? (On behalf of the great Hollywood Star)

[@danlowe8684]

I don't think Lawler ever got Kaufman out of his head. A man of Lawler's size, skills, stature and experience should have been able to beat Kaufman on a whim - and this is why psychology is so important in sports. Andy knew the whole 'Hollywood' thing really got to Lawler and made him feel less a man. Andy grabbed on to these weaknesses and insecurities, using Lawyer's own energy against himself, in an almost master-level, martial-arts-like manner. A real-life version of David (Kaufman) and Goliath (Lawler), if you will.

Good God that mat...

[@chaztitan6457]

i didnt actually follow andy at all. watch "his" movie with jim carrey. now im watching the things in the movie. its completely fucking scary how people are mislead... I am honestly not sure if he was like a "lets go have fun in life" as a sociopath, psychopath. All the while using others... or if he was just someone that came here thinking, "it all doesnt matter so have fun" I actually am starting to love and hate him at the same time..... it is... quite annoying but the end result is always the same..... people are dumb, they want leaders for some reason to listen to and follow. doesnt matter if it is leaders to worship, listen to, watch, read, follow.... they always put their responsibility outside.... hence the problem... but andy was/is interesting

[@mateowannacomedyremasterz6605]

I liked the movie Man on the Moon, but did not like Jim Carrey's interpretation of Kaufmans comedy. Check out my Andy Kaufman playlist. Make sure you check out his HBO special & his other specials =) He was more likable as a comedian & as an individual than Jim Carrey portrayed.

[@p0gue23]

The love/hate thing is exactly what he was intending. It was his genius. His art.. Jim Carey should never have tried to do Andy. Nobody could ever do Andy.
