I can't see the video, but did it come directly after a Piledriver? I think Piledrivers were barred, either in the scene at that time, or just for the match/feud.
If my Man on the Moon memory serves me correctly, Kaufman pissed Lawler off so bad, he was willing to throw a match just so he could drop Kaufman on his head. Good stuff.
It's pretty damn retarded of the WWE to do that. How man Cena fans know who Curt Hennig is? Jerry Lawler is going into the Hall of Fame, and he should have whoever he want to induct him induct him. It would also make sense, as Lawler being inducted by a commentator makes sense when taking into consideration Lawler's later career pathways.
Let Lance Russell do it, Kevin Dunn, you fuck.
As for Andy Kaufman? He should definitely go in. I think this year would be the time. I can see why some would think Lawler would induct him, but it would have some flavour to it if they didn't have Lawler do it. Even though it was made public the whole thing was staged, the "hatred" between both men is what made their feud so great.
Have David Letterman do it, as already suggested. I don't know if he would be willing to dip his hands into professional wrestling right now, especially considering it is taboo, but it's worth a shot. If they can't get Letterman, Bob Zmuda would almost definitely do it.
Mr. T, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson are all deserving of being in the celebrity wing, as well. Mr. T you can kind of rule out this year, as Hulk Hogan would be the logical choice to induct him, but seeing as he and the WWE are currently on the outs, it probably won't happen yet. Mike Tyson being inducted by Stone Cold Steve Austin is something I'd like to see, and I could see them doing it this year, but if they wait one more year, they can do it at the one year anniversary of WrestleMania XV. Muhammad Ali can probably be inducted whenever.
2007 Celebrity Wing: Andy Kaufman (preferably inducted by David Letterman and Bob Zmuda) and possibly Muhammad Ali
2008 Celebrity Wing: Mr. T (by Hulk Hogan)
