Tribute to Adorable Adrian Adonis (1964-88)
Adrian Adonis -
"On July 4, 1988, Keith "Adrian Adonis" Franke died when his rented minivan hit a moose while on a wrestling tour in Newfoundland, Canada. Moose/vehicle accidents are rather common in Newfoundland in the summer months, however very few are fatal (maybe 5-6 deaths per year). Adonis' accident happenned just before sunset, with the low-lying sun blinding the driver. In the crash were wrestlers Pat Kelly and Dave McKigney. The driver who was also a wrestler Mike Kelly was not killed but had a severely injured leg."

I really liked Adrian Adonis, I grow-up watching him in Minnesota when he was starting out in the AWA. He teamed with Jesse "The Body" Ventura , as one half of the East-West Connection, before all the freakish make-up transformations. Adonis's last match in the WWF was at Wrestlemania 3 against Roddy Piper. Adonis was ahead of his time. Taking gimmicks in wrestling to new levels. I hope he is someday inducted into the Hall Of Fame.
I miss you, Adrian...
