WRESTLER OF THE DAY (Series 2) - ADRIAN STREET


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

He was one of my favorites and amazed me as a kid, given the time and his gimmick, that he could switch from heel to babyface very easily. Crowds could really get behind the guy - sometimes they hated his flamboyance and sometimes they loved it.

 

I to this day still have "Imagine What I Could Do to You" go through my head occasionally. I can tear a telephone di-rect-or-y in two ... and bending iron bars is something else that I can do ...

Jesus, I loved Adrian Street.  Don't let the glitter fool you because the man could work convincing baby face or rabid heel at the drop of a hat and he was legit tough. 

 

Always marveled on how he effectively used homophobia and the classic evil foreigner gimmick in tandem to get over as a heel.

 

Loved his run in Mid-South.
