The Kaufman Lawler Feud: Chapter 22 - The Lawsuit, The Chicken Suit and Taxi

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

Dave Brown is enjoying the shit out of that phone call... and who can blame him? That has to be the greatest phone call in history...

[skuldude]

Wish I could make Vince sit down and watch this.

[MrIndeeply]

This is Hilarious

[AndreDarkAngel]

This guy is such a genius... you never knew if it was real or a joke. His whole life was a prank, lol

[fosponomot]

lawler is responsible for the cancellation of Taxi

[xcellken1]

@fosponomot Too bad Lawler can't get Raw, Smackdown, and Impact cancelled!!!

[MrIndeeply]

@xcellken1 I agree with you all of those wrestling of todays market are fake and is just a tv show I miss the real wrestling like this.

[kaitlinan]

LOL andy's screaming is the best. It must have hurt him though, if this is the summer of 1983 then he probably had stages 1,2, or 3 of lung cancer because by thanksgiving to december he had stage 4 lung cancer. :/

[SometimesHer]

9:04 onwards is funny as hell, classic Kaufman.

[gladfan1989]

Too bad Ritalin wasn't widely known back then. Kaufman could've benefitted from it.

[FijneWIET]

@gladfan1989 ehm?

[crazydiamond1to9]

@gladfan1989 If by "benefitted," you mean had his entire personality muzzled and watched helplessly as his dreams crumbled before his eyes, then yes, he would have.

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@gladfan1989 : this was '83, ritalin was totally widespread at this point...

[Stereolabdream]

This is pure genius!

[arobb2007]

All that screaming Kaufman was doing was just cracking me up LMAO!!!!

[ALittleBitOfGreen]

it ain't cool if he was dying at that time...

[avinaj77]

God Damn Kaufman was the shit!!!

[klwewf]

I'm not trying to be mean with my following question. But, how long did it take you to realize that Kaufman was aweome?

[battlestarmarc]

Kaufman was so funny !! how did that announcer keep a straight face when Kaufman was screaming.

[excelsior34]

LOL that rules

[funkyflashman]

You can tell Andy was sick at this time by the way he was coughing at the end.

[klwewf]

Dude, at 9:09 (if that's what you're referring to), ha was laughing. He was trying no to break out of character completely. Listen closely.

[ALittleBitOfGreen]

I think he's coughing...not laughing...

[magpatocx]

@ALittleBitOfGreen YOUR RIGHT? Andy has a lung cancer? No wonder andy is the one who behind all of this? not Jerry Lawler.

[salanh]

Wow. That was textbook over-the-top interview segment. I wasn't sure if that was Kaufmean cracking up or coughing - either from becoming hoarse or perhaps the initial signs of the lung cancer which took his life. Like all of Kaufman's humor, you just didn't know, but you did appreciate it.

[MoshMasterD]

Andy cracks up at 9:08

[Fooblestheclown]

Now that's entertainment. It's all staged. In the end Jerry was at Andy's funeral. They were friends.

[xms32]

They weren't friends. This was real. They hated each other.

[funkyflashman]

You need to read Bob Zmuda and Jerry Lawler's books as well as watch the Man on the Moon movie.

[SnoocheeBoochees]

i love man on the moon. The fact that Lawler played himself was brilliant

[jaroncreed]

On the movie Man on The Moon it was weird. Just about everybody that acted with Kaufman played themself

[HeyArnoldsspleen]

[bigvern624]

either you're a mark who doesn't get it and believes everything or you get by making markish comments just to get a response if so ok you succeeded, fine, otherwise you're a mark

[klwewf]

Please tell me you are kidding - trying to keep the bit alive & you're not that naive & just plain stupid. Please....

[jghor23]

Gosh. Who knows? Kaughmans heat wasnt fake. The people in memphis legitamately wanted to KILL him.

[introjectionate]

That rage Andy went into at the end was hysterical! Thanks for posting!
