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. ==Championships and accomplishments== *'''National Wrestling Alliance''' :'''Regional''' :*[[NWA Wildside Television Championship]] (1 time) *'''[[Pro Wrestling Illustrated]]''' :*PWI ranked him # '''186''' of the 500 best singles wrestlers of the PWI 500 in 1998 Finishing Move: Shoulder Buster The Nutbuster ==External links== *[http://www.bodyslamming.com/other/robbierage.html Other Superstars: Robbie Rage] *[http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/r/robbie-rage.html Profile at OWW] *[http://wrestling.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/RobbieRage Robbie Rage] at the [http://wrestling.xwiki.com/ WrestleWiki] [http://www.kbxgym.com/index.phtml] {{DEFAULTSORT:Knapik, Robert}} {{prowrestling-bio-stub}} [[Category:1970 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:American professional wrestlers|Knapik, Robert]]
