— WWE announced today that Andy Kaufman will be posthumously inducted into the company’s Hall of Fame, Class of 2023. Kaufman was most famous for a 1982 angle with Jerry Lawler that included an appearance on the David Letterman show where Lawler slapped Kaufman. It hasn’t been announced who would be inducting Kaufman, and while Lawler would be a natural choice, he recently suffered a stroke and his health status is currently unknown. Kaufman joins Rey Mysterio and The Great Muta as those announced so far for this year’s class.
