A GoFundMe campaign was launched this evening to assist former WWF, WCW and AWA star Brian Knobbs after he was hospitalized with several health issues yesterday.

According to the campaign, Knobbs "is going through a battery of tests to determine the severity of his major stomach issues. His doctors have expressed extreme concern and told Brian that he will probably remain in the hospital for at least the next couple of months. Coupled with his stomach issues, Brian's good knee has finally given out and requires a surgery if he hopes to walk again."

Knobbs, 57, broke into the business after training under Brad Rheighans.  He and partner Jerry Saggs, as The Nasty Boys, had runs in the AWA, WCW and the WWF, including WCW and WWF Tag Team Championship runs.  In recent years, Knobbs had promoted on occasion under the Legends of Wrestling banner.  Knobbs last wrestled in 2019.
