BRIAN KNOBBS HEALTH UPDATE

The GoFundMe campaign launched to assist former WWF, WCW and AWA star Brian Knobbs after he was hospitalized with several health issues provided an update on his health yesterday.

According to the campaign:

"Our good friend Brian Knobs continues to be overwhelmed with the amount of love and support he has received from all of us. I have been waiting and hoping for Brian's health to improve before sending out this update, but unfortunately his struggle for recovery continues.

He has received over 10 blood transfusions, and complications from his iron deficiency have prevented the doctors from conducting the exams and testing on his vital organs to determine the underlying cause of his illness.

Brian is very concerned about his future, and doing his best to keep a positive outlook. He's been advised to keep his stress levels low, so the emotional and financial help he's been receiving from us through the GoFundMe page has been a huge blessing in that regard as we are close to reaching the donation goal.

Despite the medical complications, the fighter spirit in Brian will never allow him to lose hope. Please pray for Brian's health and strength to return in a full recovery."

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.
