Adrian Street (born 5 December 1940) is a retired Welsh professional wrestler and author known for his flamboyant, androgynous wrestling persona, brought to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. Street was often accompanied to the ring by his long-time manager Miss Linda, and the two worked primarily as villains.

Battled cancer and is doing much better.

Proposed to Miss Linda his companion for over 35 years this past April 2005 in Las Vegas. She said yes.
5
His effeminate gimmick began as a response to ridicule from fans. One night while wearing a glittering jacket to the ring he got wolf whistles, so he responded by blowing the fans kisses and pinching the referee's bottom. The rest, as they say, is history.
6
He made a series of music videos to accompany his feuds, such as "I'm in love with me" "Imagine what I could do to you" and "Sweet transvestite with a broken nose"
7
Feuded with many legends in the sport such as "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Davey Boy Smith
8
Had his first Pro match in London on August 8th 1957, and wrestled as Kid Tarzan Jonathan until he wrestled for 'Dale Martin Promotions' in 1960 when he began to use his own name. He and his wife, Linda, (also a pro wrestler) had run the 'Skull Krushers' wrestling school prior to closing it following severe damage from Hurricane Ivan. Adrian Street still occasionally wrestles, but he and Linda now concentrate on running Bizare Bazzar Wrestling Wear and Championship belts.
