Bryant Anderson
Bryant Alan Rogowski (born November 6, 1970) is an American attorney and former professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Bryant Anderson. He is the son of professional wrestler Ole Anderson. Anderson wrestled for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1993, as well as wrestling for various independent promotions in the southeastern United States during the mid-1990s.
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rogowski was on the Etowah High School wrestling team and had a successful amateur career, winning a Georgia state championship in his senior year at 171 pounds. Before graduating, he accepted a wrestling scholarship from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and finished third in the Southern Conference in the heavyweight division as a junior. In 2016, Rogowski was inducted to the Cherokee County Sports Hall of Fame.
Rogowski's father Ole Anderson often took time from his wrestling schedule to attend his matches; this was the storyline reason for Ole Anderson's dismissal from The Four Horsemen in 1987. Ole had missed some shows to watch his son wrestle, and Tully Blanchard called Bryant a "snot nosed kid". Ole attacked Blanchard, and was kicked out and eventually replaced by Lex Luger.
During the early 1990s, Rogowski was trained at the WCW Power Plant by his father and Jody Hamilton before making his debut on WCW television as a heel in 1993 under the ring name "Bryant Anderson", having a similar build, general look and submission-based wrestling style resembling Ole and Gene Anderson. However, WCW did not have plans for him: other than teaming occasionally with Diamond Dallas Page, he mostly wrestled as a preliminary wrestler during his last months with the promotion eventually being released by new WCW head Eric Bischoff in mid-1994.
In mid-1994, Anderson briefly competed in Jim Crockett Jr.'s World Wrestling Network promotion, where he teamed with Tully Blanchard.
In October 1994, Anderson debuted in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, where promoter Jim Cornette used him as a mid-card heel; his father briefly managed him but left after a few appearances.
After fighting to a draw with Tracy Smothers on October 1, he became a main rival of Smothers following his winning the SMW "Beat the Champ" Television title from Scott Studd in Morganton, North Carolina two days later. Fighting to a series of draws with Smothers in early October, he finally lost to Smothers in an 8-man tag team match with Boo Bradley, Chris Candido and Bruiser Bedlam against Smothers, "Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony, Brian Lee and Lance Storm in Evarts, Kentucky on November 4, 1994.
Losing to Smothers in Morristown, Tennessee the following night, the two would again fight to a time limit draw and later that night participated in another 8-Man tag team match with Boo Bradley, Chris Candido and Bruiser Bedlam again losing to Smothers, Tony Anthony, Brian Lee and Lance Storm in Hyden, Kentucky on November 6, 1994.
