Hulk Hogan wrote about this in his autobiography, “Hollywood Hulk Hogan”, where Adonis was considered one of the boys and the outsider, Spivey, had enough of Adonis’ arrogance. There was an unspoken understanding back when Kayfabe was still the rule of professional wrestling that a fight between wrestlers backstage wasn’t broken up until one man had a clear advantage.

Adonis wanted to settle it after the show and stormed past his locker room to confront Spivey. Adonis walked into the front room which was empty, and then busted through to the back room. Dan Spivey rose to his feet to protect himself. Adrian said, "C'mon Spivey, let's see how tough you are." It happened in a split second. There was no chance to break it up.

Adrian took the wrestler's position and lunged forward for Spivey's legs. Spivey, who is six feet six and has an ungodly reach, caught Adrian with a vicious left to his left eye and cheekbone. It splattered like a watermelon and blood went everywhere. Spivey came with one more right to the face and the fight was over before anyone could break it up.
