Former WWE Tag Team Champion Brian Knobbs Hospitalised
One half of the legendary Nasty Boys was taken to hospital yesterday.
It's been revealed that tag team specialist Brian Knobbs is currently in hospital with what has been labelled "major stomach issues".
Knobbs' friend Fred Jung yesterday launched a GoFundMe campaign for the 57-year-old Nasty Boy, noting that Brian's health has taken a turn and he was rushed to the emergency room on Tuesday. After tests related to stomach problems, extremely concerned doctors informed Knobbs that he is likely to be hospitalised for at least the new few months.
In addition to his stomach issues, Brian Knobbs' "good knee" requires surgery if he is able to properly walk again.
Having made his in-ring debut in 1985, Knobbs began teaming with Jerry Sags just a year later as the Nasty Boys. During the next ten years, the Nasties won tag team gold in Florida Championship Wrestling, the then-WWF and WCW. Once Sags was forced to retire in 1996, Knobbs went on to have some singles success as part of WCW's hardcore division.
At the time of this writing, Knobbs' GoFundMe campaign has raised $8,755 of its $20,000 goal. You can find full details on said campaign here.
