10 Celebrities That Had The Most Influence In WWE History

3. Andy Kaufman

Am I being biased here? Possibly, but nobody loved Andy Kaufman€™s influence on professional wrestling as much as I did. His act and involvement were just plan classic, nobody, and I mean NOBODY could have pulled it off the way that he did. He just single handedly DESTROYED the USWA territory in Memphis€”DESTROYED IT!!!! He was packing arenas everywhere because as a shoot the fans just wanted his head on a silver platter. The way he mocked people from the south was not only ballsey, but still wrestling gold to this very day. From his wrestling random women from the crowd, to his classic appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, his crippling neck injury and of course, the infamous my Breakfast with Blassie, Kaufman just brought so much to the wrestling business as a whole - and remember this is PRE WrestleMania. As a matter of fact, the story goes that Andy Kaufman approached Vince McMahon Sr. with his idea first, and Vince Sr. felt it was too €œregional€, and advised the iconic comedian to bring it to Memphis€”which he did! I urge you, go to YOU TUBE right now and type in€”ANDY KAUFMAN ANYTHING TO DO WITH WRESTLING. You can then thank me later.
