Brian Adams was a professional wrestler better known as "Crush" in the World Wrestling Federation. He was introduced as the third member of the then-WWE Tag Team Champions Demolition, who exercised the "Freebird Rule" allowing any two of its members to defend the belts. They dropped the titles to the Hart Foundation at SummerSlam 1990.
As a singles wrestler, Crush adopted a surfing Hawaiian gimmick, and feuded with Doink the Clown before turning heel against Randy Savage. The two fought in a memorable "falls count anywhere" match at WrestleMania X.
Following a brief stint in WCW, Adams retired from in-ring action in 2003. He was found dead at his home on August 13, 2007 as a result of an overdose of painkillers and antidepressants.
