5 celebrities who deserve to be in the WWE Hall of Fame

#1 Andy Kaufman

Now, Andy did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch?

Taxi star and performance artist Andy Kaufman is easily the most deserving of celebrities to be inducted as he basically started that trend of celebrities being involved with wrestling.

After being fascinated by wrestling and wrestling gimmicks, Andy decided to start wrestling himself, only well aware he could match up to male wrestlers physically, he decided to face women and dubbed himself the 'Women's Wrestling Champion of The World'. After being declined a partnership by Vince McMahon, Sr. Andy took to Memphis where Bill Apter introduced him to Jerry Lawler.

A match was set up between the two after months of Andy taunting Jerry and the Memphis fans, that ended by disqualification when The King used a piledriver. The ongoing Lawler-Kaufman feud, which often featured Jimmy Hart and other heels in Kaufman's corner, included a number of staged "works", such as a broken neck for Kaufman as a result of Lawler's piledriver and a famous on-air fight on a 1982 episode of Late Night with David Letterman, which was believed to be real for 10 years before people began to speculate it was a work and was finally confirmed to be a work in the 1999 Andy Kaufman biopic, 'Man on The Moon' starring Jim Carey.

Kaufman also appeared in the 1983 film My Breakfast with Blassie with WWE Hall of Famer "Classy" Freddie Blassie and has also been a playable character on the Legends of Wrestling PlayStation game series. Andy Kaufman has truly deserved his spot in any kind of professional wrestling Hall of Fame.
