Former WWE Head Writer Makes Case For Andy Kaufman In WWE Hall Of Fame

Brian Gewirtz recently appeared on the Under The Ring podcast for an interview promoting his new book and the new season of Young Rock on NBC.

During the discussion, the former WWE head writer explained why late comedy legend Andy Kaufman deserves a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where Gewirtz makes his case for Kaufman’s work in Memphis earning him a WWE Hall of Fame induction.

“WWE Hall of Fame is an interesting thing. It’s kind of like forged by whatever happened to be discussed that year, but from a pure merit standpoint, there is probably no celebrity more influential and more, just revered in the business more than Andy Kaufman and what he did in Memphis.>/I>

“Andy would have no such fear of that. He would look like a horse’s ass. He’d relish in getting booed and playing the heel in Memphis and making fun of people – the women, the men. Amazing to watch and so ahead of its time, so unprecedented, that yeah, obviously, Andy deserves to be in many hall of fames and WWE is definitely one of them.”
