linda looks like lucy lawless :) jimmy valiant always shakes when he gets his ass kicked. I always thought he was trying to tell himself to not run away like he did when he was a heel. So he's struggling with his emotions.
i loved the old Continental fued with Street and Wendell Coooley...then also when Street turned face and teamed with the Bullet against the Studd Stable
@scumgod13 Adrian Street, "Adorable" Adrian Adonis and Goldust are three different people. Adonis died years ago, and his gimmick was based on Gorgeous George. Goldust is Dustin Rhodes, son of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Street came before the other two.
@TheManiacOnWheelsUSA Ironic you mention Dusty because this was his angle and he reused it 2 times when he was helping Michael Hayes book ECW and Smackdown except it was with Mike Knox/Kelly/Balls Mahoney and Chuck Palumbo/Michelle McCool/Jamie Noble.
Its amazing how much of a impact Adrian Street had on wrestling and his character was so unique that WWE used its influence two times for Dustin Rhodes and Rico. You wouldn't think looking at him, that he is one of the toughest people you didn't wanna mess with according to Mick Foley.
It's good to see both Adrian & Linda are still involved with the biz. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember hearing they've got a biz going making custom tights and trunks for pro wrestling. If so, I wonder if they can do classic Roller Derby tights with the knee and butt pads (which were covered up by the shorts) sewn in?
I man I would have made a play for Miss Linda, I had such a crush on her when I was kid, I even hugged her after a match once, Adrian winked at me. I reminded them of this at a Con a couple of years back. They laughed and hugged me, what great people they are.
Valiant and street had a wee bit of a feud for a while in Mid atlantic,then became friends and teamed together before the days of Valiant vs Jones Army.
i remeber seeing this clip on georgia championship wrestling. nwa wrestling was the best with all the different regions united, simply classic. i wish nwa is still around so they could buy out wwf because they sucked.
I also remembered seeing this on NWA World Championship Wrestling out of Georgia. They always played video clips from the other NWA territories.
The NWA is still around but they're not as big as they once was. A lot of former WWE talent working for them including Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. Ted DiBiase's kid Mike, Jr. is currently the NWA North American Heavyweight Champion.
i didn't know they were still in business, but i wish they would bring back the glory days of wrestling when they taped in a studio. in my opinion vince mcmahon ruined wrestling.
not only did he ruin wrestling, but he ruined the careers of some great nwa wrestlers. remember buzz swayer, jyd, roddy piper, don muracco, tully blanchard, arn anderson, and look at what he did to jerry lawler, turned him into a clown.
100% agreed. When I was a kid, I actually interacted with some of the heels, and they were quite nice. I remember Tio Tio putting me off (kindly) for an autograph for several weeks, only to find that he was learning to write. He chose to be a heel because he didn't expect to be asked for autographs. But in that era, you never saw Dusty giving autographs unless on camera.
Yes, Linda and Adrian have been effectively commonlaw "married" for quite some time, having several children, prior to the actual marriage (according to Adrian's website). Savage, according to Adrian's website, asked for Adrian's advice on several topics. The fact that "Randy" during Savage's UK tour, could be taken in a different context, was amusing.
These 2 videos were originally broadcast on May 12 1984 & May 19 1984 respectively. Jimmy Valiant didn't come to Mid Atlantic Wrestling until late 1981. This looks like it was a clip from Georgia wrestling.
Adrian Street was absolutely one of my favorites. I HATED 'Da Boogie Woogie man and I loved watching anyone who beat his ass. The Sweet Transvestite clip of Street is another great clip. Definetly one of a kind!
I would agree with 83-84 considering the set for Mid Atlantic and seems to be an arena show rather than the TV studio. Right before the switch of names to NWA pro.
I guess I can only say that this looks like the angle I saw in 1978. It's always possible that they ran this angle twice with a gap of 5 - 6 years inbetween each run.
That angle occurred sometime in the Summer of 1978. My Dad took the family on a Summer vacation trip to Kiawah Island off the coast of South Carolina in 1978. I was lucky to catch a bit of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and saw the airing of the second bit where Adrian Street knocked-out Jimmy Valiant during that vacation. Great stuff!
