Dark Side Of The Ring: The Tragic Fall Of Adrian Adonis.

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.

Contributions from Bret Hart, Dave Meltzer, Greg Gagne, Jim Brunzell, Ricky Johnson, Dan Spivey, Mike Kelly, Anthony Gugino (childhood friend) Bea Franke Hall, Gena Banta and Angela Perides, Adrian's wife and daughters.

Next week on 18th next episode Abdullah The Butcher: Legacy Of Blood.
