As We All Know-ADRIAN STREET Owned The Wrestling Tag Team Name of
HELLS ANGELS!-By The Laws of Copywright -No-One in Wrestling could Legally
Use The Name without ADRIAN's Permission-Or unless he himself was One Half
Of The Team! BOBBY BARNES told Me Personally that The Last Original HELLS
ANGELS Bout was in Late 1973! And from Memory The Last T.V. HELLS ANGELS
Bout was in APRIL 1973!
In Early 1974 ADRIAN Left JOINTS and Wrestled for INDEPENDENT Promoters
Like JACKIE PALLO!-So The ANGELS Tag Name became Dormant!
Sporadically it would 'Resurface' when ADRIAN Tagged with Another BLOND
Partner!-NOT BOBBY Who Stayed with JOINTS!
Then in 1980-The Name Reappeared possibly for The Last Time in This Country?!-
ADRIAN STREET Tagging with The AMERICAN DREAM MACHINE as The........
HELLS ANGELS in 1980!!
This Post is to Compliment My Other Thread on The AMERICAN DREAM!
WHAT a Spectacle this must have been?#!
Poster to Follow when I find it!!
MAIN MASK
I had given up by 1981 Adrian. They also did an April bout at Yate.
Great RON!-Many Thanx!-Did you go to This One?
BOBBY BARNES Told Me Personally that after the End of
The Original HELLS ANGELS in Late 1973 that he thought that
ADRIAN STREET by then was Pushing his 'Exotic' Look TOO Far!
Well! Contrast Early 1974 with his 1981 Image!!
ADRIAN says that he used Other Wrestlers as a 'Sound Board'!
If they didn't Comment on how Outrageous he looked in The Dressing
Room-He thought to himself-'I'm not doing it Well Enough'!!

Also did Liverpool
Yes, Sophia Gardens was a major venue with five bouts and a couple of McManus v Pallo matches. The M4 was constructed for it.
I'm all at sea after 1978, but looks like I was spot on mid-way between my two suggested years 🤩
The Year is 1981 ANGLO!
'KID' CULLEN wasn't Wrestling in 1975 and AMERICAN DREAM MACHINE
Arrived in 1980!
Note ADRIAN's BLACK Beard on The Poster!?-I have him Bearded on DVD
Wrestling for JACKIE PALLO!
SOPHIA GARDENS Pavilion was a Traditional Independent Venue going Right
Back to PAUL LINCOLN in 1960 wasn't it?

Surely the promoter could have billed Street from Wales when in Wales?
I'm at a loss to guess the year as in some ways it looks very late eighties; but with Len Hurst and Mike Shannon, I guess this must have been 1975 ish?
Is that Klondyke Bill? Klondyke Jake was barely 15 stones.
The Last HELLS ANGELS Team at SOPHIA GARDENS PAVILION in CARDIFF!.....
