Adrian Street

Adrian Street (5 December 1940 – 24 July 2023) was a Welsh professional wrestler and author nicknamed "Exotic" who came to prominance in the 1970s and 1980s.

Street was often accompanied to the ring by his long-time manager and wife Miss Linda, and the two worked primarily as heels.

[6] His wrestling attire evolved to include pastel colours and glitter makeup, and he clipped his bleached hair into mini- hipigtails.

He also sang several glam rock songs, such as "Sweet Transvestite with a Broken Nose" and "Imagine What I Could Do To You", the latter being his entrance music.

Later in America, the two formed a double-act, Miss Linda becoming one of professional wrestling's first female valets[6] and frequently participating as an accomplice to Street's in-ring shenanigans.

[13] The two appeared in various areas in the territories in North America, and finally settled in Ron Fuller's Continental Championship Wrestling (CCW) in Birmingham, Alabama in 1985.

[14] After retiring from full-time in-ring work, Street ran the Skull Krushers Wrestling School in Gulf Breeze, Florida, until being forced to close doors following severe damage from Hurricane Ivan.

[16] He created the ring gear worn by Mick Foley as Dude Love during his feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin.
