25 years ago today andy kaufman passed away. imagine how much further this could have gone if andy didn't get sick.

Absolutely one of the best played gags of all time....Jerry and Andy couldn't have sold this any better. Classic stuff!

Who was The Colossus?

funny how people see wrestling as a sport as kauffman made a total fool out of it all them years ago

[imtheduke]

Staged or not a piledriver could cause serious harm. Respect to both for a brilliant hoax

Brilliant as Kaufman was, it was Lawler and his impeccable timing that makes the Letterman sketch work. Awesome work by both dudes.

@thoomoo NO ONE thinks wrestling is real, its ENTERTAINMENT this is a great show. lawler said it was the best thing to happen to wrestling.

[BroodingGamer]

@MetrazolElectricity it was all a joke, you need to look up who kaufman is, lawler was in on it, he described it as one of the greatest things to ever happen to wrestling.

[barbarash]

Greatest 'work' in history... and that goes beyond wrestling.

[uutooyu]
