Dutch Mantell recently recalled how WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler worked without a script when he faced comedian Andy Kaufman in the 1980s. The Kaufman vs. Lawler rivalry was the subject of a Tales From the Territories episode on VICE TV this week. Mantell was a panelist on the roundtable show alongside Lawler, Jeff and Jerry Jarrett, and Jimmy Hart. On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, the legendary wrestling booker discussed Kaufman and Lawler's unique approach to creating finishes for their matches: "I found out something that I never knew before after all these years," Mantell said. "I actually went out of my way not to know the finish of Lawler-Kaufman because I wanted to watch it as a true fan. Don't tell me, just let me watch it. And then I found out that Lawler and Kaufman, they didn't even know what the finish was. They would go out there and listen to the people and they would do what they wanted to do."
