[edit] Career

Rico Constantino adopted Adrian's gimmick during his tenure in WWE as "Rico". His valet, Miss Jackie, adopted the Miss Linda role. Rico received direct training from Adrian on how best to get the gimmick over with the audience. He created some of Rico and Miss Jackie's ring gear.

After working with Dusty Rhodes, Dusty's son Dustin began using a variation of Adrian's facepaint design for his Goldust character.

He also created the ring gear worn by Mick Foley as Dude Love during his feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Foley attended Street's Skull Krushers school for a time to brush up on his skills.^{[citation needed]} The Skull Krushers wrestling school was temporarily closed due to damages suffered to the ring and apartments by Hurricane Ivan. After much thought Adrian decided it was best to concentrate on his wrestling gear business, and closed the wrestling school for good through damage caused by Hurricane Ivan.

[edit] Personal life

Adrian starred alongside Ron Perlman in the film Quest for Fire. He was also in Grunt: The Wrestling Movie.

Adrian contracted lung cancer, allegedly due to his proximity to large amounts of second hand smoke. He put his career on hold to receive chemotherapy treatment, which caused the loss of his legendary hair. Recently, he has resumed wrestling.
