In the wrestling world, Kaufman is remembered for his infamous feud with Jerry “The King” Lawler in Memphis. He gained notoriety for staging matches with women he selected from the audience, which fueled his wrestling persona’s heat. The rivalry intensified when Lawler delivered a piledriver to Kaufman, leading to a memorable appearance on David Letterman’s NBC Late Night show, where Lawler slapped Kaufman.

This segment was depicted in the film “Man on the Moon,” where Jim Carrey played Kaufman.
