July 23, 1983 from Memphis TV. In the words of Brian Alvarez..shenanigans! Andy Kaufman and Jimmy Hart, along with the Assassins, celebrate their big swerve of the King. The July 18, 1983 match with Kaufman and Lawler vs. the Assassin and Hart is shown. Note, these are not the same Assassins from Georgia and Mid Atlantic. Another great angle in this series. Lawler's response is to bring in the always great Austin Idol.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • This is brilliant

  • 2:26 - 2:34 is the best

  • 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.

  • Jimmy you should be from Hollywood too!

    Classic!

  • Lawlers goat tee looks like the Rebel Insignia

  • wow...andy really goes for the jugular.

  • 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.
