I was at this match. We wanted to kill Jimmy Hart and Andy Kaufman, literally. That's how Memphis fans are. Jerry Lawler is a Memphis Icon.

As great as Lawler is in these, Jimmy Hart is just as awesome.

Holy shit, never knew Kaufman was so instrumental in creating the WWE/WWF/whatever-it-is-now style of ringside drama. Man... Fools make major bank now days by following this exact formula... Create hate, create a hero... Well done sir.

Man Kaufman is a natural born heel. Awesome mic skills!

Jerry the King Lawler...they don't make 'em like that anymore. Lawler is pure cool.
Does anyone know if Koffman knew at this point that he had Cancer? This was close to the end of his stint with Memphis Wrestling.

According to Wikipedia (I know, I know) Kaufman found out around Thanksgiving '83. In some of the videos I'll post shortly leading up to their boxer vs wrestler matches you'll see that Andy just didn't look good. His cough also becomes more apparent in some of his interviews.
