8 Ridiculous Fines WWE Gave Wrestlers

4. A Fart At The First Lady

Despite his name, it's actually what's south of the Perineal Ridge for which Brian Knobbs has latterly become remembered. The nastiest boy found his TNA tenure in tatters - and keep in mind here, the company was called TNA - when he supposedly showed his famous Richard Nixon impression to a Spike TV exec at a staff party, and his anal activities are likewise the source of this piece of wrestling flatulence folklore.

Except, as he told The Hannibal TV in a March 2019 interview, the icky emissions at the source of this anecdote actually emanated from partner Jerry Sags' ass. So the story goes, whilst retrieving his baggage from the overhead compartment of an airplane, Sags unleashed eight hours of pent up wind right in the face of wrestling's First Lady, Miss Elizabeth. As you can imagine, the famously, fiercely protective Randy Savage went ballistic - it's a wonder Sags wasn't flung from the plane there and then.

At the next show, Knobbs was summoned into Vince McMahon's office on Sags' behalf, and told to pass the message that he was footing the $7000 bill for Elizabeth's flight home. Vince - who almost certainly found it the funniest thing in the world - remarked: "tell him that's the most expensive gas he'll ever pass."

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
