Every Main Event Player has friends that they help in the business. Some of them are in a similar position on the card, and some of them are at best mid-carders. Then you have the friends that are in no way at all even close to the level of their best buddy. Sometimes, they flat out suck so hard their main event buddy is the only reason they have a job.
The prototype for this is Bryan Knobbs to Hulk Hogan. I'd argue his wrestling career would have been dead damn near 20 years ago if his best buddy wasn't the Hulkster. You could argue the same about Brother Bruti, but I've seen people actually cheer for the Barber without Hogan's aid.
So who are today's "Brain Knobbs"?

I don't think there's anyone on the roster who sucks that hard at the moment.
Anyone who's bad in one aspect seems to make up for it in another.

Both of Orton's Knobbs Candidates are gone (Chris Masters, Eugene), Punk's isn't getting hired no matter how many times he gets namedropped (Cabana/Goldman), and Cena never had a Knobbs.

I think despite his skills, you could argue that Drew McIntyre is Triple H's Brian Knobbs.

Before he'd finally got released, one could have made a case for Funaki, who was good friends with both HBK AND Steve Austin.

That's not fair to Masters or Dinsmore, since they're actually good. While that may be so, Orton was the main reason they both got their second chances (which Masters actually did his damndest to make the most of, but Eugene blew his by showing up massively out of shape). |

How could someone be the Brian Knobbs of main eventers today when Brian Knobbs was never really a main eventer? Nasty Boys as a team were high on the card at times, but were never consistent main eventers. Knobbs on his own, even less so.

Sheamus. He's Triple H's gym buddy, and is a total bore in the ring.
But he's still nowhere near as terrible as Knobbs or even Brutus Beefcake.

To be fair, when Sheamus is in heel monster mode he is pretty damn entertaining.

Must be Alberto
Not sure who he's friends with, but judging by the amount of time WWE have given him for his tedious title reigns, it must be someone important.

Which is worse when you're comparing a main eventer to Hogan:
Being the Brian Knobbs...
Or being the Brutus Beefcake?

Not that he's not talented and all, but I think a lot of people only know about Colt Cabana through CM Punk.
