43. Adrian Adonis

The bulk of Adrian’s career was spent as a leather clad biker who excelled in the tag team ranks and was known for his technical skills.  That isn’t how he is best remembered.  Like others before him, he was given the gimmick of a playing a homosexual, but nobody before or since had played as over the top as Adonis did.  He claimed he was gay, wore granny dresses and wore garish makeup.  He looked more like a fat cross dresser than anything that may be found in a gay pride parade but he was playing the perceived stereotype.  His weight ballooned to the mid 300’s, yet his skill never waned.  After his Wrestlemania III match with Roddy Piper, he was let go from the company and was killed in a car accident a year later.  Regardless of what his gimmick was, Adrian Adonis should be best remembered as a great wrestler.
