“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.
