Rick Bognar

Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (1991–1994) In 1991, Bognar went to Japan to work for Atsushi Onita's Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) under the ring name Big Titan, after sending a videotape that drew the interest of Onita. In November, he was paired with The Gladiator in the World's Strongest Tag Team Tournament, scoring a total of six points. On January 18, 1994, Titan and The Gladiator defeated Onita and Katsutoshi Niyama in a tournament final to become the inaugural FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Champions. They lost the titles to Mr. Pogo and Hisakatsu Oya on April 29.

Catch Wrestling Association (1994–1995) Bognar made his debut for the Catch Wrestling Association (CWA) in Germany on December 17, 1994, unsuccessfully challenging Rambo for the CWA World Heavyweight Championship. There, he was also involved in a feud with Tony St. Clair.

Extreme Championship Wrestling (1996) Bognar, as Big Titan, appeared for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) at Big Ass Extreme Bash on March 8 and 9. He defeated Judge Dredd on the first night, but lost to Sabu the next night. On May 18, under the name Slice Ramirez, he teamed with J.T. Smith and Little Guido to defeat The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) and Hack Meyers.

World Wrestling Federation (1996–1997) With help from Bret Hart, Bognar received a tryout match for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) on August 19, 1996, where he defeated Frank Stalletto.

In September 1996, play-by-play announcer Jim Ross introduced Bognar as "Razor Ramon" and Glenn Jacobs as "Diesel" as part of a storyline mocking the departure of former employees Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, who had left the WWF to join World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The storyline was also an attempt to turn Ross into a heel. However, both the Jim Ross heel turn and fake Razor Ramon and Diesel storylines were poorly received. Ramon and the second Diesel feuded with Savio Vega after attacking him on September 22 at In Your House 10: Mind Games. The feud culminated at Survivor Series on November 17, where Ramon teamed with Diesel, Faarooq and Vader against Flash Funk, Jimmy Snuka, Vega and Yokozuna in a four-on-four Survivor Series tag team elimination match that ended in a double disqualification. Ramon fought against Steve Austin, Jake Roberts and Bret Hart. His biggest victory was over Marc Mero. At In Your House 12: It's Time on December 15, he and Diesel unsuccessfully challenged Owen Hart and The British Bulldog for the WWF Tag Team Championship. He wrestled one more match at a house show on February 20, defeating Ricky Rockett. They remained with the promotion until May, where they often teamed with Fuerza Guerrera and Pentagón against Cibernético, El Canek and Latin Lover. Jacobs was ultimately repackaged as Kane, the brother of The Undertaker. In August, he took part in the G1 Climax, losing to Tadao Yasuda in the first round. He wrestled his final match for NJPW during the "Hyper Battle" tour on March 2, 1999, teaming with Hiro Saito and Keiji Muto in a loss to Team 2000 (Akira, Masahiro Chono and nWo Sting).

Late career (1999–2000, 2012) After his tenure in Japan, Titan returned to the revamped Stampede Wrestling in November 1999, where he wrestled his final match on June 9, 2000, losing to Vic Viper. He was also involved in training Jinder Mahal.

Other media In 1998, Bognar appeared in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show episode "Honey, Meet the Barbarians" as the "Meanest Barbarian". He also appeared in the 2015 film Painkillers as "Sasquatch".
