Brian Knobs…The "not so" nasty Boy

Most people think of Brian Knobs as the Robin to Hulk Hogan’s Batman in Hogan knows best & Sports fans probably remember him as the enraged fan that ripped Third Base out of the ground & dropped numerous Atomic Elbows on it when it wasn’t treating the Tampa Bay Rays very nicely a few years back. Wrestling fans know him as a hardcore legend, in the ranks with the likes of Mick Foley Mankind, and The Sandman.
Brian & his Tag Partner Jerry Saggs make up the tag team “The Nasty Boys” and they have a ferocious reputation in AND outside of the ring.
Brian is a Clearwater resident & Icon and I’ve been a casual acquaintance, usually running into him at various functions & gyms in the area and the most recent time I ran into him was at The Florida Supercon in Miami. Being a fan or “Mark” as they call them in the biz I scarfed up autographs from the likes of Greg Valentine, Raven, and Brutus the Barber on Saturday then relaxed in the hotel lounge that night…when along comes Brian, hardly knowing me from Adam, and yells to me across the lounge “We’re going to the V.I.P. party! Come on!”  
Ladyhero & I jumped at the offer & tagged along with Brian and his friends (Including Greg valentine!) to the party where security tried to stop Ladyhero & I from entering, a quick “They’re with me.” from Brian fixed the problem & we were in with the likes of Scott Adsit, Dana Snyder, and Dino Stamatopoulos (all of whom I pointed out to Brian and what they were famous for to really let him know how much we appreciated him letting us tag along). After awhile we headed back down to the hotel lounge where some older ladies came in with a Miniature Yorkshire Terrier and sat across from us. Brian pulled out his phone showing them pictures of his Maltese (swear to God with a bow on its neck) and telling the women “This is MY baby! She’s spoiled!”
Brian kept us all in more stitches then his former opponents and was the life of the Party.
I checked up on him & Jerry at their table the next day to see if they needed anything & thanked Brian for letting us tag along. I guess the point of the story is for all the ferocious reputation I was really surprised to find out what a nice guy Brian is. Never judge a book by its cover & if you ever see him out & about say hi…he won’t drop you through a table.  🙂
EDIT: He DID however give me a bunch of grief for having a Appletini though.
