There's a couple of Youtube clips of Lawler telling the story. Very interesting stuff. Lawler said that without Kaufman, there would never be Wrestlemanias. He said Kaufman, alone, sold out the Midsouth Coliseum in Memphis, in minutes, because he pissed off the fans there so much. They wanted blood. I hear that Kaufman finally made the Wrestling HOF. Lawler had been calling for that for YEARS. On one of those Youtube clips, it was interesting to hear Lawler say that even after he REALLY slapped the $%%^ out of Kaufan on Letterman...In no time, Kaufman called Lawler and asked.....HOW'D I DO???? He LOVED it!
