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 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.
