Friends with Hogan: Brian Knobbs
Why he is friends with Hogan: Knobbs and Hogan befriended each other during the era when both were in WCW, and have remained fast friends since.
Brian Knobbs started his wrestling career during the big boom of the 1980s. He and partner Jerry Skags formed the Nasty Boys, who are perhaps most famous for never, ever, ever updating their gimmick or in ring gear.

Unlike many other pro wrestlers, Knobbs wasn't much of an athlete before he began his wrestling training. Perhaps because of this, he and partner Skags ended up wrestling a 'hardcore' style. This involved taking numerous big bumps, like when Knobbs did diving elbow drops from the turnbuckle to the floor. Or when both members ended up getting their brain cells rattled by steel chair shots.
All of the hardcore wrestling unfortunately shortened their careers, and Knobbs has barely wrestled in the last decade. He has, however, made numerous appearances alongside his good friend Hulk Hogan on the Hulkster's reality show series, Hogan Knows Best.
Knobbs also participated in the one and only season of Hulk Hogan's celebrity wrestling, where he led his own team.
