Rob Schamberger is a very talented artist from Kansas City, painting the legends and superstars of WWE.

His latest WWE related “Canvas 2 Canvas” offering features the late, great WWE Hall of Famer Nick Bockwinkel.

Schamberger said: “I painted this live at the 51st annual Cauliflower Alley Club reunion in Las Vegas. Nick was a longtime president of the group and gave so much back to the business that gave so much to him. In his honor, I donated the painting to the group for auction. Larry ‘The Axe’ Hennig was the auctioneer, and we raised thousands of dollars for the CAC’s Benevolent Fund, which helps out wrestlers who have fallen on hard times.”

Schamberger added: “I wouldn’t have the fortunate life that I now have without the wrestlers who are the subjects of my paintings. I’m even more fortunate to be in a place to give back in a meaningful way to the men and women I owe my career to.”
