Seems fairly recent when I saw Lawler collapse on live TV. People didn't know if he was going to make it at first. Michael Cole doing one-man commentary around the paramedics treating Lawler. An eerie show. I must have been naive thinking Jerry Lawler would listen to common sense. At 63 years old, he's teaming up with 72 year old Dory Funk Jr on an indy show.

Was he the one who wrestled Andy Kaufman, Dino ?

Did he ever break character and talk about that?

He's mentioned working with Andy Kaufman over the years. I have a DVD of the whole feud. Fun stuff. The crowd in Memphis was nuts.

Here's a bunch of YouTube stuff.

I remember seeing clips of the crowd. There was this extremely nasty old woman-- I couldn't make out what she was saying but her face. . . pure hatred. . . it still scares me.

Thanks for the links- ima find that lady and make myself a meme.
