'''Robert J. Knapik''' is a [[professional wrestler]], best known for his appearances with [[WCW]] and on the independent wrestling scene as '''Robbie Rage'''. An early graduate from the WCW Power Plant, he was part of the team ''High Voltage'' with [[Kenny Stasiowski|Kenny Kaos]]. The two regularly appeared against mid-card opponents on [[WCW Saturday Night]] and [[WCW World Wide]] during the late 1990s, although they were less successful during their appearances on [[Monday Night Nitro]].
In 1997, he and Stasiowski travelled to Japan and feuded with [[NWO Japan]] before representing WCW in the [[Super Grade Tag League]] for [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]]. Upon his return to the United States, Knapik joined [[Tim Catalfo]]'s Obake Gym and befriended [[Yuji Nagata]] who was then wrestling in WCW. After being sidelined from an injury in September 1998, High Voltage broke up with Stasiowski pursuing a sigles career.
Leaving WCW in 2000, Knapik returned to New Japan Pro Wrestling and would become a mainstay of that promotion during the early 2000s.
In 2005 he retired from professional wrestling.
