    Saville jumped into the wrestling ring a few times. Though it was mostly mockery a la Andy Kaufman, but not funny, and Saville trying to be a tough guy. The legendary Adrian Street did not like Saville mocking his business, so when a promoter put them in the ring together, Street beat the every living snot out of Saville, ripped out his hair by the roots and broke a few bones, ending Saville’s wrestling bullshit.

    Note: Adrian Street was a precursor to Goldust and other flamboyant characters that were actually tough as nails. Street dressed like a mix of Liberace and Ziggy Stardust, but was a tough guy from Liverpool who could wreck anyone.
