  • Christopher "Chris" Adams (Rugby, 10 febbraio 1955 – Waxahachie, 7 ottobre 2001) è stato un wrestler e judoka britannico. All'età di 21 anni, era già stato per tre volte campione nazionale britannico di judo nella sua categoria di peso. Come wrestler, Adams lottò principalmente in Texas, in particolare nella World Class Championship Wrestling, dove era una delle stelle di punta della federazione. Adams è inoltre celebre per aver allenato Scott Hall nel 1984 e Steve Austin nel 1989. Infine, deve la sua notorietà al fatto di essere stato il primo wrestler ad utilizzare come mossa finale il "superkick", che sarebbe stato successivamente utilizzato da dozzine di altri lottatori (specialmente Shawn Michaels che lo ribattezzò "Sweet Chin Music").
