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.
[3] Later in his career, he developed his "Exotic" Adrian Street image, an outrageously-attired, effeminate character who was implied–but never explicitly stated–to be gay.
[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.
