Street was often accompanied to the ring by his long-time manager and wife Miss Linda, and the two worked primarily as heels. Later in his career, he developed his "Exotic" Adrian Street image, an outrageously-attired, effeminate character. Street has explained that this gimmick was born by accident as a result of him playing up to taunting from an audience one evening, commenting "I was getting far more reaction than I'd ever got just playing this poof. My costumes started getting wilder". His wrestling attire evolved to including pastels and glitter make up and clipping his bleached hair into mini-pigtails. As "The Exotic One" his signature move in the ring was to kiss opponents to escape being pinned down and to put make up on his opponents when they were disabled. He also sang several glam rock songs, such as "Sweet Transvestite with a Broken Nose" and "Imagine What I Could Do To You"; the latter being his entrance music. In 1971, he was booked in a match with the presenter Jimmy Savile. Due to disagreements with booking and after hearing Savile brag about engaging sexual relations with underage girls, Street legitimately attacked Savile during the match and tore out Savile's hair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Street (2023) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHhbaulcombe 12/16/2013 RAHAKirkbride 8/1/2023 c8193ceb-eb68-4e9d-8a5c-4fb45ea46d35
