He got about a bit, and also beat up Jimmy Savile.

"His wrestling career, which got underway in 1957 when he was just 17, became iconic and saw him make appearances in the UK, the US, South American and Europe. And yet one of his most famous moments came in 1971 when he was booked to face Jimmy Savile, with the creative team scripting a drawn contest - a potential outcome than angered Street.

Recalling the incident in 2013 to WalesOnline, Street said: “The promoters were trying to put Savile across as a bit of tough guy in those days and they were trying to get other proper wrestlers to throw their matches with him – it was all part of some big stupid gimmick. And when I found out I was up against him next, I wasn’t very happy, not least because I’d just beaten world lightweight champion George Kidd at Nottingham Ice Rink the night before. In fact, I’d put him in hospital.”

It would prove to be Savile's last ever bout though, with Street deliberately savage with his moves and blows: “His cronies were telling me, ‘Don’t underestimate Jim, he’s trained with the Royal Marines’, but I was having none of it," he continued. "I kicked his legs from underneath him so he hit the deck, then I picked him up by his hair, held him upside down and dropped him on his skull.

“Then, when I looked down at my hands, I realised they were covered in hair – Savile’s. I’d torn huge clumps out of his scalp. I absolutely crucified the bloke and when I spoke to my wife afterwards, she said I’d looked like a hungry fox going after a chicken. Savile never returned to the wrestling ring after that and I never clapped eyes on him again.”

After retiring from regularly performing, Street managed a wrestling academy in Florida, but the building used was damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Around 10 years later, he wrestled his final match in America and then returned to live in Wales." (Daily Mirror 31.7.23

For anyone feeling nostalgic there's a good book called The Wrestling by Simon Garfield. It's interviews 60s & 70s wrestlers. A lot of them were still quite bitter about the Crabtree brothers- one was Big Daddy, one was a referee and one owned Dale Martin promotions so they had it all sewn up.
However fixed it all was that was a tough way to make a living.
