The celebrity inductee has been announced
Andy Kaufman was a comedian and actor who was popular in the late '70s and early 90's. A fan of wrestling, he promoting himself as the '
Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World', where he would wrestle against women.
This resulted in a feud with Jerry Lawler, thought Kaufman was making fun of wrestling! This fued culminated in a famous episode of 'The David Letterman Show' where Lawler slapped Kaufman in the face during an interview
Unsurprisingly, he will be inducted by Jerry Lawler, but it is unknown who will actually collect the award - maybe Jim Carrey (who played Kaufman in the film 'Man In The Moon') dressed as Kaufman's 'Tony Clifton' character!
