He was great when he was young imo He took a nose dive later 80s going forward and really lived on his reputation for a long time. His later WWF and WCW runs were underwhelming enough that his rep didn't really keep him afloat legacy wise.
PIPER!!! AMERICA, F YEAH!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Adrian picked the wrong one with Dan Spivey. Dan was a legit collections man on the streets, they called him "One Hand Dan". One hit was enough.
I managed a restaurant where the wrestlers were in the habit of fueling up before they drove to their show destination. The wrestlers sat together in groups in back so that they could discuss private business and not be bothered by fans. Adrian always sat by himself at a 4 top table. To tell the truth, the others were disgusted by him, not just his weight, but his hygiene and habits. Everyone respected his skill, but he was not long for this earth.
What spivy said is true and Adrian got his ass handed to him.
@18:50 Sabu is obviously the most intelligent MFer out of all of them. He hit the nail almost on the head. Physics would prove that the driver and the passenger would take the blunt of the force upon impact. So the other twin living is amazing and indicate that anyone else would have great chance of surviving....that's supported by Rocky Johnson's brother (who was in the truck behind them with the ring crew) recounting Adrian Adonis saying 'help me' and then saying 'there was no helping him'....after he cried and said he needed a moment about someone he hardly knew. Modern psychology indicates behavior like that and his actual words almost proves that is the same tone of behavior as an abused kid who don't tell on the teacher or priest assaulting them even when they're an adult. When Rocky Johnson's brother says 'there's no helping him' he's repeating what his abusers made him say after grooming him (or scaring him). So what I'm spelling and putting together for even the greatest block head is that they murdered Adrian and the promoter to steal their money. The other twin took a force and was unconscious (Adrian was saying 'help me' so he wasn't unconscious cause he took less force) so the other twin would not know what happened plus the way aholes think is based on what they can fool others in to believing based around the situation. So aholes would save him cause he didn't have anything of value and use that to cover up murdering the others (keeping in mind that tge driver was gonna die regardless cause of taking the most impact) while thinking everyone is either corrupt or stupid so they were certain that they could cover up murdering them by saying they were saving the other twin. They got a way with murder due to incompetent investigators
Unfortunately, when Adrian's addiction was at his worst, he was not the same person. Before he died, he was working his way back, lost most of the weight he had gained

So many wrestlers were stiff in the ring when they wanted to be with rookies especially,what Adonis was doing to Spivey was nothing like someone like Yokozuna would do to rookies , it was unprofessional by Adonis but more unprofessional by Spivey for forgetting what sport he’s in.

Dan Spiveys recollections gets more absurd each time there is a new shoot interview on Adonis , so he was responsible for booking plans being changed by Vince and scuppering Adonis Hogan run of matches? Absolute garbage ... Adonis was liked by all the major BIG stars like Andre,Savage,Hulk,Piper, there’s not a chance in hell a low mid card Spivey had so much sway for this to happen ,a sucka punch at best by Spivey ,he would of been fired instantly for going into business for himself

Nothing fake about his story, he beat Adrian up in the ring and then dropped him in the locker room. Multiple other wrestlers have backed the story up. He cut Adrians face pretty badly so he was away getting healed up so his feud with Hogan was called off. Spivy was also fired not long after.
