The real-life Brian Adams went through a variety of gimmicks during his career in wrestling.

His first stint with the World Wrestling Federation came in 1990 when he appeared as the newest member of the Tag Team Champions Demolition. Brought in to replace the retiring Ax, Crush served as one-half of the face-painted heel tag-team before being repackaged as a singles competitor.

In 1992, the babyface from Kona Hawaii dropped the makeup and worked a big-man style, receiving a push that resulted in his rumored consideration as the next WWE Champion - a spot that eventually went to Bret Hart.

In addition to Demolition, Crush later allied himself with Mr. Fuji, before joining the Nation of Domination and the Disciples Of Apocalypse. Crush would come and go of from the WWF over the years, but for most of the time he was a regular feature on their programming.

Never a headliner, Crush was a physically impressive superstar that constantly reinvented himself, allowing for a long, successful career.
