WWE Legend Brian Knobbs Could Be Forced to Amputate Leg After Infection Returns

Brian Knobbs, the legendary member of the Nasty Boys tag team, has faced many health problems in recent years. Unfortunately, it appears he is once again at risk of amputation after his infection returned.

In a new video, Brian Knobbs said his foot is infected again, and doctors are talking about amputation. On top of that, his wife had a bad accident at the hotel where they are staying, breaking her ankle in a compound fracture and she is now in rehab.

“Everything’s been going on—it’s been quite emotional. They found out that my foot is infected again, and now they’re talking about amputation. On top of that, my wife had an accident at the hotel we’re staying in and broke her ankle, with the bone coming through—a compound fracture. Now she’s laid up in rehab.”

Knobbs also lost his best friend, which has made this time even harder for him. He thanked fans, friends, and other wrestlers for their support over the years, explaining that during his wrestling career, performers often had to pay for their own travel and expenses, and they didn’t earn as much as wrestlers do today.

“Then my best friend in the world passed away. It’s just been a tough road. And here I am again, asking for your support. You’ve been behind me the whole time, and I love that you have. I know it’s rough out there these days, but I’m asking if you can help me again by donating whatever you can. Maybe I should have saved more back in the day, but back then we didn’t make the kind of money they do now. We wrestled, and we paid for everything ourselves—planes, cars—straight out of our paychecks.”

Knobbs said he has always tried to help others and never thought he would go through such a long, difficult health battle. He is determined not to lose any limbs, even though doctors have suggested taking more than just his foot. Inspired by Buff Bagwell’s own battle, Knobbs says he will keep fighting.

Knobbs ended his message by asking the wrestling community and his supporters to consider donating to his GoFundMe, saying this is one of the hardest times in his 62 years and that any help would mean a lot to him.

“I didn’t do anything wrong. All I did was try to help people, and then this hit me. I never thought, being who I am, that it would drag on like this. I thought we had it beat. Then came the infection again, then my wife’s accident, and then, finally, losing ‘Homes,’ the big man. It’s hard to handle—it really is.

So, I just want to thank everybody, and if there’s any possibility you can donate again, I’d be forever grateful. I’m coming back—I’m a fighter. I see my buddy Buff Bagwell still fighting the good fight, and in my mind, I am not losing any of my limbs. They already told me they wouldn’t just amputate my foot—they’d go higher. That’s not going to happen. I’m totally against it.

So I’m asking my family, friends, and fans—you’ve all been there. Wrestlers have reached out privately to talk with me, and those are personal conversations. But you’ve always wanted an update, so here’s a two-for-one from the heart. This is probably the hardest time in my 62 years on this earth. I love you all. Please, if you can, go to my GoFundMe. Anything helps, and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.”

This comes after Brian Knobbs was hospitalized for the same infection earlier this year but he was eventually discharged. Despite his serious health challenges, Knobbs is determined not to get his leg amputated so we pray he gets all the help he needs.
