Brian Yandrisovitz
Brian Yandrisovitz, better known as Brian Knobs, is a notable American professional wrestler, actor, and coach. He began his wrestling career in 1990 with Jim Crockett Promotions, which soon transitioned to World Championship Wrestling (WCW) after being acquired by Ted Turner. During his brief stint with WCW, Knobs engaged in a rivalry with the Steiner Brothers over the WCW United States Tag Team Championship, though he was unable to claim victory.
Later that same year, Knobs joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), where he was managed by the charismatic Jimmy Hart. During his time in the WWF, he achieved significant success, capturing the World Tag Team Championship from The Hart Foundation. His team, known as The Nasty Boys, faced off against some of the organization’s top teams, including The Rockers and The Bushwhackers, before turning face to challenge Money Inc. for the tag titles, which they ultimately lost.
In 1993, Knobs returned to WCW, where he teamed up with manager Missy Hyatt and secured the WCW World Tag Team Championship. He had several notable feuds with teams such as Harlem Heat and The Blue Bloods, claiming the tag title a second time in 1993. His final championship reign came in 1995 when he defeated Harlem Heat for the tag titles for a third time. Outside the ring, Knobs is married to the sister of Greg "The Hammer" Valentine’s wife and has formed strong friendships with wrestling legends, including Hulk Hogan. He has appeared in various reality shows featuring Hogan and served as an on-screen trainer for multiple wrestling projects.
