    This fuck tried his hand at wrestling. The career wrestlers didn’t take kindly to Savile making a mockery of wrestling (British wrestling in those days was brutal and serious) he had his ass handed to him by Adrian Street so bad that he never wrestled again. Adrian Street turned it into a real Street fight.

        Picture the wrestler Goldust, mixed with Ziggy Stardust. Adrian Street was flamboyant, glittery and androgynous. He was also tough as nails and came from a mining town, so despite his flamboyant character, nobody ever made fun of him, called him gay or crossed him, since he could wreck anyone who tried.

          I looked him up and i can’t say i like his fashion as in nothing i’d ever wear but i get the message and appreciate his boldness to do so in those times.
