Jerry "The King" Lawler did an interview and talked about Macho Man Randy Savage and Andy Kaufman
needing to be in the WWE Hall of Fame:
QUESTION: You’re a WWE Hall of Famer. Are there two or three names you’d like to see in the Hall of Fame with you?
They’ve not yet inducted Randy Savage yet, have they? I think
probably Randy Savage. I think he will eventually get in there. That is
one those things. To me, if you are going to honor somebody, you should
do it while they are still alive. I wish that Randy and Vince McMahon
could have settled what differences there were before he passed away to
get him in because I think Randy was deserving a long time ago.
“I’ll tell you who else I think should be in there — Andy Kaufman. He
should be in the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. (Mike) Tyson
got in this year. You’ve got Mike Tyson and Drew Carey. If Drew Carey is
in there, Andy Kaufman should be. He was one of the first guys that put
wrestling on a national stage.
Lawler goes on to talk about Kaufman set the bar for celebrities
involved in wrestling. He also talks about his likes and dislikes of
commentating versus wrestling.
