I remember seeing NY street-fighter Adonis coming to the ring with the "relax with trudi" briefcase, but I don't remember the actual transformation - does anyone remember if there was one? Or did he just show up one week all "adorable". My memory's a little fuzzy but I recall a trade of talent between Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart. For a short spell, Bobby acquired the contract of tough-guy Adonis, not long after the Wrestling Classic. Heenan traded the Missing Link (whom he couldn't control) and Adrian to Jimmy for the services of King Kong Bundy. Jimmy wanted to give Adonis a "make-over" (to symbolize the transformation of his career) and the start of it happened on a "Piper's Pit", when Adrian gave Roddy his leather jacket. (If you notice, Roddy wears that jacket quite often in his memory when he's on TV.) I don't believe they actually showed him getting made-over. We were just told that there was going to be a change in Adonis. I remember reading in a wrestling magazine that Jimmy was so excited about the "new" Adrian Adonis. "The change from leather to lace, with the pink and the bows in the hair. That's MY influence!" (Wouldn't really shock us as much as you think, as we did kinda have the mind set that Jimmy seemed a little "strange", to put it politely.)
