BIOGRAPHY: [no bio found]
TRIVIA:
- One of the 100 greatest wrestlers of the 20th century. (as determined by Inside Wresting)
- Is an accomplished artist
- Between scenes in _Man on the Moon (1999)_ (qv) actor 'Jim Carrey' (qv) remained in character as 'Andy Kaufman (I)' (qv) and spit on pro-wrestler Jerry Lawler, just as Kaufman did in 1982. A stunned Lawler reacted by grabbing Carrey by the hair and jerking his neck and sending him to the hospital. (This was later revealed to be a publicity stunt to promote the movie). In 1982, Lawler also sent Kaufman to the hospital for spitting on him. Lawler has since revealed that not only was his feud with Kaufman staged, but the two were actually good friends.
- Held the USWA Championship more then any other wrestler. He and fellow wrestler Jeff Jarrett actually had partial ownership of the USWA wrestling promotion, before it was forced to close.
- Good friends with actor Michael Ironside.
- Married to Stacy Carter, who appears in the WWF as The Kat (Miss Kitty).
- November 2001: Returned to the WWF as color commentator for Monday Night Raw and WWF Smackdown!
- Once again re-enacted his popular 'Kauffman' slap on an August 2008 airing of "Raw", to prove a point to Ted DiBiase, Jr. and tag team partner Cody Rhodes. The concept was him still being credible (with honored guest "Hacksaw" Duggan), verses the younger generation of wrestlers. When told that they weren't yet born when Lawler struck the comedian on "Late Night With David Letterman" in 1982, he demonstrated its effect.
