Street earned his reputation as “the sadist in sequins” and “the man fans love to hate” due to his larger-than-life character. With his dayglo face paint, peroxide pigtails, and feather boa, he commanded attention and struck fear into the hearts of his opponents. Who would have thought that a man in sequins could be so intimidating?
Hailing from Wales, Street rose from humble beginnings to become a superstar in the wrestling world. He refused to follow in his father’s footsteps and toil away in the mines. Street felt destined for the spotlight, and he found his calling in wrestling. He began his journey in London, adopted the name Kid Tarzan Jonathan, and quickly caught the attention of wrestling promoters.
As his fame grew, Street embraced his own identity and traveled across continents. From Canada to the United States, he left a lasting impact on the wrestling circuit during the 70s and 80s. Sporting the moniker “The Exotic One,” he dazzled audiences with his androgynous and flamboyant presence. He was a real showstopper, both in and out of the ring.
In 1969, Street met Linda, who would become his wife and manager. The two formed a formidable duo, wreaking havoc as wrestling’s most despised villains. And what a power couple they were! It’s not every day that you see a husband and wife tag team taking on opponents with such flair. Talk about relationship goals!
However, Street’s path to stardom was not without its challenges. He faced and triumphed over cancer in 2001, proving his resilience both inside and outside the ring. Despite their long partnership, he and Linda didn’t tie the knot until 2005. Perhaps they were waiting for the perfect moment, like executing a perfectly timed wrestling move.
Street’s last match took place in 2014, marking the end of an era in professional wrestling. Throughout his illustrious career, he estimated that he had participated in a staggering 12,000 to 15,000 matches. That’s more matches than most people have hot dinners! His dedication and passion for the sport were evident, even in the face of health challenges.
Sadly, Street’s health took a turn for the worse in recent weeks. After battling and overcoming a heart problem, he suffered a stroke. As he recovered, he developed colitis, which eventually progressed into sepsis and claimed his life. It was a sudden and shockingly swift chain of events that left his wife Linda reeling from the unexpected loss.
In accordance with his wishes, Street will be cremated, and his ashes will be scattered on the majestic mountains near their Welsh home. It’ll be a final tribute to the man who dedicated his life to entertaining fans and making an impact in the wrestling world. His legacy will live on, not just in the memories of those who witnessed his in-ring performances, but also in the hearts of wrestling enthusiasts around the globe.
As conservative Republicans, we appreciate Adrian Street’s talent and showmanship, but let’s not forget the importance of traditional values in wrestling. We long for the days of heroes and villains who embody a strong moral compass and stand up for what’s right. While Street may have been an impressive performer, we can’t help but yearn for the more wholesome days of wrestling when characters like Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage reigned supreme.
Rest in peace, Adrian Street. You may not have been the hero we wanted, but you certainly left a glittering mark on the world of professional wrestling.
