Very sad to hear of the passing of Adrian Street. The first Welsh wrestler to make a worldwide name for himself, and massively influential to so many in the industry.

Adrian Street was before his time, a genuine trailblazer and one of the toughest men you could wish to meet. My thoughts go out to his wife Linda & the rest of his family and friends. RIP pic.twitter.com/6N3uLvgYYO

Man, I really hate this. I loved Exotic Adrian Street (& his wife. Miss Linda). Great guy! Always a total pleasure to see and talk to when I ran into him at a show or the Gulf Coast reunion. #RIP https://t.co/SoJM6n0Ipq pic.twitter.com/AyzYv4D4mN

R.I.P. Adrian Street – the definition of a legend, an icon of pro-wrestling & pop culture, a trailblazer, trend-setter, and enormously, immeasurably influential. There will never be another.
To have spent time in his presence was an incredible privilege that I will never forget. pic.twitter.com/YA8LbklBoT

My physique, Adrian Street.
A pioneer, an original and a trailblazer.
Rest well.— Joe Coffey (@Joe_Coffey) July 31, 2023
“It’s too dark down there, I was born for the spotlight!”
Adrian Street was way before his time. Coming from a mining family he chose sequins and flamboyance as he became the man people loved to hate across the United Kingdom.
A pioneer. An icon. An incredibly tough man.

Rest in power Adrian Street. One of the most influential and colourful wrestlers of all time whose influence can not be understated. Although I never met Adrian personally he made loads of gear for me throughout the early 2000s and made the yellow top I wore in 2018. pic.twitter.com/myvCb3BoVh

My condolences go out to miss linda & family of adrian street. I worked against them in mix tags on Chris Adam’s fair shows in 1988. Total bad ass and he didnt have to prove it to be a bully.
