The Kaufman Lawler Feud: Chapter 33 - Jimmy Hart on Andy's Health

[Shroomeryslearyfan]

Thanks for this whole series.

[CombatSportFan]

If WWE really wants to put celebrities into their hall of fame, where is Kaufman? This guy deserves it much more than Drew Carey. I love Carey, he seems like a great guy. But, three minutes in the royal rumble does not outrank Kaufman risking his reputation and his day job by becoming one of the best heels of any sort for all time.

the people who are involved in wrestling, always until the day they die stick to their wresting scripts, and kudos to andy, for going out like that, which is the he would have wanted it

[WatchVenusSpa]

Andy was so damn good that NOBODY believed he was dying.

[sbtbfanatic]

This is great! People can "catch" cancer from getting a bruise? That is hilarious!!!

[KVCunknown]

"catching" cancer?!??!?! hahahahahaahah oh man classic wrestling is awesome!!

[geodeuce]

I would love to see the pep talk video.

[gonzomoya420]

Jimmy Hart is awesome! only he could make ANdy Kaufman funny. Kaufman got cancer because he got piledrived by Lawler?!?!? LOL!

[sexpistolarchive]

Andy's cancer was a hoax, he discussed with Bob about using cancer to get out of a ruined career then come back later. He then told Bob that if he did it he could come back as it would have made it pointless, plus large amounts of his money were taken from his account over a period of a year before his death.

[michaelisajerk]

@sexpistolarchive Sorry. He's dead.

[geodeuce]

Do you have the video of the pep talk that Jimmy Hart gave the first family?

[bigdaddythunder1982]

Jerry Lawler gave Andy Kaufman cancers? "DAMN" trademark Ron Simmons

[sanfranman123]

Wow. Hart thought the cancer was a hoax. Interesting.

[MrSambaboy]

He was in the act.

[HeyArnoldsspleen]

No he didnt you spastic

[dpman72]

Jimmy Hart was the greatest heel in Memphis. He said once that he had to replace at least 50 mailboxes.

[phi1166]

wow! regardless of whether or andy kaufman wanted this, the people at memphis wrestling had the power to reject this angle. shame on all involved!

[MJAY4000]

i agree

[f1racer]

It has been confirmed that Andy not only wanted this and approved of it, but he implored Lawler, before he died, to MAINTAIN KAYFABE!! And out of respect they did for ten years.

[pshclub]

you're 100% right ... this isn't as tasteless or disrespectful as the eddie guerrero stuff at all ...

[jpwjr1199]

Knowing Andy Kaufman's persona and strange sense of humor, this doesn't surprise me one bit.

[annericelover]

That is very tasteless, I'm surprised Jimmy Hart would actually consent of saying something like that. Not only is he pissing on Andy's health, but all people with Cancer. Now I'm going t watch some tapes of Jimmy Hart being beat the sit out of by various wrestlers.

[tygersflowerz]

There's no way of ever knowing... but I can't help but wonder how long Andy really had cancer before he was diagnosed.  Could've been a year or more.

[lardass73]

I bet it was Kaufman's idea.

[mike72988]

Agreed....Andy loved the business and loved cringe humor. This has Andy's fingerprints all over it. Loved the guy.

[RoderickStrong]

I always thought of the BeeGees every time I saw Jimmy Hart for some reason

[DavidFullam]

Now I've seen everything. How tasteless.

[nishlord]

Christ on a crisp packet.
