In Reply to: Strangled by a hired professional wrestler? Sounds like Andy Kaufman. posted by TAFKA Steve on May 25, 2000 at 14:31:35:
That is over my head - I have not seen the movie yet. Should I bring my swords instead of popcorn? Is it worth going to?And who is Andy? I knew one Andy Kaufman, but I suspect you mean someone else.
Dunno if you should see "Gladiator"; the best part was the opening battle. Just wondering how many Roman emperors tried to preserve their blood line by incest.I meant Andy Kaufman the comedian, whose wrestling matches with Jerry Lawler pushed the limits of "comedy performance" and good taste. Andy died of cancer, not strangulation, but his career was strangled metaphorically by his obsession with wrestling Jerry Lawler.
i can't let it slide -- they used this wrestler in filming the andy kaufman "biopic" starring carey, and they had to fire him because he tried to pull the actor's head off and actually injured him
