Triple H & The Rock Producing Andy Kaufman Documentary, Stephanie Vaquer On RAW vs. NXT

The documentary Andy Kaufman Is Me is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6. It features a trove of never-before-heard audio diaries brought to life through marionette puppetry, alongside interviews with Michael and Carol Kaufman, David Letterman, Carol Kane, and Tim Heidecker.

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) serves as a producer, with Paul Levesque (Triple H) credited as an executive producer.

You can check out the official synopsis for the documentary below:

This wildly entertaining documentary cracks open the bizarre, brilliant, and endlessly surprising world of Andy Kaufman like never before — using his own voice to guide the way. Unearthed from a vault of never-before-heard audio diaries, Andy Kaufman is Me offers an all-access pass to Kaufman’s unfiltered thoughts, offbeat performance ideas, and a surreal semi-autobiographical novel he never finished… until now.
Director Clay Tweel reanimates Kaufman’s lost project with a deliriously inventive twist: marionette puppetry that turns his eccentric vision into a dreamlike spectacle. The result is a trippy, funny, and deeply personal ride through the mind of a man who never played by the rules — and never wanted to.
Featuring candid interviews with those who knew him best — including Michael and Carol Kaufman, David Letterman, Carol Kane, and Tim Heidecker — this film peels back the layers of myth and mischief to reveal the soul behind the spectacle. Both an origin story and a resurrection, Andy Kaufman is Me is a mind-bending journey through identity, performance, and the fine line between reality and illusion. It’s Kaufman like you’ve never seen (or heard) him before.

During a recent appearance on the “Wrestling the Rap Game” podcast, Aleister Black shared his views on The Undertaker, noting that he has received tons of advice from him throughout his career. Black said,

“Taker’s always been very, very cool. [He] has given me tons of advice. I think the biggest thing he always told me is force people to sell your character. You’re not a regular character. You cannot have people do certain things to you. They have to react to you. They have to have a visual reaction to you. To this day, I still try to implement it, but again, schedule, wrestling changes. I remember after the match he was like ‘Hey kid, good selling. You took your time. I appreciate that.’ I’m like ‘Oh, thank you sir.’ It was just one of those things. Every once in a while, he would just take me to the side and was just talking to me about this character stuff. It was just very cool because he didn’t have to do that, but he did.”

During a recent appearance on WFLA News Channel 8, Stephanie Vaquer shared her experience competing on both WWE RAW and NXT.

According to Vaquer, there doesn’t seem to be a big difference between the two brands. She said,

“I don’t feel a big difference for me. Like, I feel on home. RAW, NXT, I feel home, and I don’t feel big difference.”
