Talk:Adrian Adonis

message: No reference to the East - West connection which featured Adrian Adonis and the future Govenor of Minnesota Jesse the Body Ventura.
people magazine did an article on adonis and ventura called living the good life as bad guys.````
There is no mention of Adrian during his Southeastern Championship days when he wrestling with the lots of Austin Idol or Jacque Rougo (sp).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.243.164.17 (talk) 20:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Major Cleanup Needed

message: Although it has only been about 2 months since this was tagged as , this article has been lacking in the reliable sources department for over two full years, since March 2005.  Unreferenced material is to be removed from biographical articles, do not restore it without a solid source.  Copy/pasting the text wholesale to the talk page is equally unacceptable, please use this link if you wish to see the material which was removed.  Thanks, Burntsauce 17:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Reliable sources needed

message: I vaguely remember reading somewhere that he actually was a homosexual. I'm just wondering if that's true or if it was just a gimmick?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smart Mark Greene (talk • contribs) 02:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Gay gimmick?

message: This is one of the most confusing deaths I've ever come across; it seems that each and every source has a different variation, i.e.: 
*They hit a moose. 
*They swerved to avoid hitting a moose.
*They hit a patch of ice and lost control. (note from a Canuck: It is cool in Canada, but I don't think we get ice on our highways in July.)
*He was decapitated.
*He drowned.
*He didn't drown but his head and back were crushed.
*He crashed into a lake.
*He drove off a bridge
*He was thrown from the vehicle into a creek where he did (or didn't) drown.
 
NOW, the guy above says Adonis was buried in Bakersfield Cemetery, but FindAGrave.com lists his body as being "Lost at Sea"??!! Can we PLEASE get someone in here who has their facts straight and give proper respect for the deceased by letting the world know what actually DID happen to Adrian Adonis?  --And please cite your references or else all your contributions will likely be deleted.  Thanks.  --Schmendrick (talk) 19:51, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The FindAGrave entry is complete bunk.  The van didn't go off a cliff, and Adonis's body was not "lost at sea;" I recall an autopsy on his body taking place.  As to exact details, I am still researching them (wish I still had my wrestling mags from 20 years ago, which contained the details of the accident), but I do recall hearing that the rental van hit a moose (a very common occurance in that part of Canada).24.187.134.112 (talk) 01:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Inconsistencies

message: Why don't you look up Bill Arko? He lives in Grand Island, New York.
he is buried in a cemetery in bakersfield, california, the section of the cemetary he is buried at is called the fountain of chimes, the cemetery is next to panorama rd. about a mile away from bakersfield junior college. you can just call or go to the cemetery and ask where keith franke is buried, and both his real name keith franke and wrestling name adrian adonis are on his tombstone.
credible sources his wife bea franke, his daughters angela and gina franke and the bakersfield californian newspaper, two of his former tag team partners roddy piper and former minnesota governor jesse ventura who along with many others in the wrestling industry attended his funeral.````  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.49.125.61 (talk) 04:45, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
