Keith Franke from Buffalo joined AWA as Adrian Adonis who had a street fighting background that became his character. When he joined WWF he ditched the hard man persona for a gay character but also came his coccaine addiction. In 1987 he was sacked, rumours surfaced about his addiction. He was set for a comeback and went on a tour in Newfoundland Canada and was killed in a car crash, rumours circulated drink and drugs were the cause but those rumours were shot down.
