[edit] Career
Bryant Anderson (born Brian Rogowski) is the son of Alan Rogowski, better known by the stage name Ole Anderson. He wrestled in high school and was the given reason for Ole'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 replaced by Lex Luger.
In 1994, Bryant debuted on WCW television as a heel. He had a similar build to Ole, and a similar hairstyle to 1970's Ole and Gene Anderson. He even wore a pair of the old Anderson boots, and wrestled with a submission-based style like them too. However, WCW did not have plans for him: other than teaming occasionally with Diamond Dallas Page, he mostly wrestled as a jobber. He was fired later in the year by new WCW head Eric Bischoff.
He left for WWN where he teamed with Tully Blanchard, then went to Smoky Mountain Wrestling, where Jim Cornette used him as a mid-card heel. His father Ole briefly managed him but left after a few appearances. He feuded with Tracy Smothers and won the Television title. He retired from wrestling for good in 1995.
