Street was a fantastic wrestler and brawler. Forget the whole "Adorable" Adrian Street thing as he was pretty unmotivated then. You're confusing Adrian Street with Adrian Adonis. Adonis was the one who was in WWF and overweight. Street was the person that Adonis flamboyant character was based mainly off of. Ah right duh. Still Street was a fantastic wrestler from the handful of matches that I've seen of him.

Adrian Street (NOT Adrian Adonis) was a very tough guy-probably still is at 74. He worked extensively in the Memphis promotion in the 70s and 80s, and was the #1 heel several times. Not only was he WAY over with the Memphis crowd, but his valet(and longtime partner/eventual wife Miss Linda) was one of the first women to be successful in that capacity in the US.
He learned the business in the era when you HAD to know how to protect it, which was perhaps even more important in 1950s Britain (when he broke in) than in the 1970s U.S. No question, Adrian Street was as tough as they come. Jerry Jarrett and Jerry Lawler have acknowledged that fact multiple times.

Very Strange, how a TNA Appreciation thread became an Adrian Street Appreciation thread
