Brian Knobs, a long time wrestling legend, has faced plenty of challenges in the ring. Now, he’s battling something far more serious. After losing everything to Hurricane Milton, he is now fighting a life-threatening infection that could cost him his foot. His health crisis has forced him to cancel major appearances, including the Chris Jericho Cruise and an upcoming European event, leaving him in a tough financial situation.
With their home gone, Brian and his wife have been living from one hotel to another. Now that he is in rehab, his wife is left staying in a hotel alone, making an already difficult situation even harder.
A Medical Emergency That Needs Immediate Attention
Brian’s foot injury developed into a dangerous infection, worsened by diabetes and other complications. Doctors are considering amputation, and time is running out. His current rehab facility is outdated and is unable to provide the full care he needs, making his recovery even more challenging.
How to Help Brian
Raising $30,000 will give Brian the financial support needed to cover urgent expenses while he recovers. Every donation goes directly into his bank account, ensuring immediate access to the funds. His medical team will soon decide on the next steps for his treatment, so support is needed right away.
Brian’s Message to His Supporters
“I never wanted to ask for help again, but I need it now more than ever. I love you all and appreciate anything you can do.” – Brian Knobs

Brian has always been a fighter, but this is one match he can’t win alone.
