BurningBeard 3,944 Posted August 5, 2019 Finally got around to reading Hooker. Great insight into a forgotten period of pro-wrestling and shows how much the industry changed (for better or worse is debatable)Â in such a short space of time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the one hand, back then folks were nowhere near as open minded as they are now. On the other hand, he probably knew his son could whip anyone who dared to try him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I base the above scenario of course solely on era-appropriate episodes of The Benny Hill Show. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxB 6,577 Posted August 6, 2019 The 'Unstoppable Ass Kicker' aspect of Adrian Street's gimmick didn't really start until he went to America. On the UK circuit he was a heel who riled up the crowd (and not considered to be a legit shooter behind the gimmick, at the time). I think because the first BritWres guy to make it in the USA was Billy Robinson, American promoters expected everyone from the UK to be 100% legit killers. Which a lot of them were, to be fair.

DEAN 1,440 Posted August 6, 2019 Also remember that Adrian Street started wrestling in 1957, so I'm sure his old man was used to it by this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
