WWE is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Adrian Street, a legendary figure in the world of professional wrestling. Born to a coal miner in Wales, Street embarked on a remarkable career that spanned almost six decades, captivating audiences around the world with his flamboyant persona and pushing the boundaries of sports-entertainment.

Originally known as Kid Tarzan, Street burst onto the scene in a spectacular manner, making his entrance into the ring adorned in vibrant pastels and glitter, accompanied by his long-time manager and eventual wife, Miss Linda. With his glam-rock entrance music adding to the spectacle, Street captivated audiences across the UK, Germany, Mexico, and Canada before finding his home in the Continental Championship Wrestling promotion in Birmingham, Alabama.

Over the course of his illustrious career, Street estimated that he participated in an astounding 12,000 to 15,000 matches, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. However, his influence extended far beyond his in-ring performances. Street is credited with designing the iconic attire worn by Mick Foley’s alter ego, “Dude Love,” during his memorable rivalry with the legendary “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

Street’s talents were not limited to the world of wrestling alone. He showcased his versatility by starring alongside Ron Perlman in the 1981 film “Quest for Fire” and even ventured into the realm of music as a member of the band “The Pile Drivers.”

The WWE family extends its heartfelt condolences to the loved ones, friends, and devoted fans of Adrian Street during this difficult time..
