“I ripped his hair out of his head … I drop kicked him so hard he landed on his head. I beat the crap out of him. I kicked him and smashed him and stomped on him. I put a submission on him that nearly broke his back. They shovelled him out of the ring and that ended the contest and he never ever wrestled again.”
Adrian Street, Welsh glam-rock wrestler on his match with Jimmy Savile. Retired in 2010 aged 70 after 12k matches. Passed away this week.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the great Adrian Street (5 December 1940 – 31 July 2023) #Brynmawr #wrestling

Joining the elephant to see what these toots are all about. Researcher by day, #brynmawr and #cornell alum forever. Run by #coffee and a love of #dogs (and at this time of year, shortbread cookies).
Figuring out which server to pick was harder than I imagined, but I have been choosing tech since I could hold a Gameboy.
