Thought and memories of him would be of interest to me.
Personally I'm interested in the early years of a lot of professional wrestlers. He was a judoko from my understanding originally but ended up meeting the Dynamite Kid and by proxy Davy Boy Smith.
Both men trained for a time, I think, at Riley's Gym the original Snake Pit in Wigan and they definitely were the best ones available to re-educate Adams on the business of staged but stiff choreographed bouts.
Adams was definitely a talented man, and its a shame how his life ended up being. Sadly Dynamite Kid and Davy Boy Smith also had tragic ends. The professional wrestling business is oftentimes unkind to the men and women who made it what it is today.
Maybe his legacy in a strange way will be as a trainer, as one of his students became the biggest star of the late 1990s early 2000s Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all
