Riis created his "The Great Dane Bear" in 1991 and has been his image to this day. He has run a professional wrestling school in Denmark since 1994, and has produced several local house shows all over the country. He is still does a lot of wrestling shows, mostly for children and still going strong at the age of 55.Riis originates from the small island of Mors, and his recognizable accent and local jargon has made him an instant fan-favorite, and the subject of many parodies by Danish comedians and entertainers. He is doing a lot work to get people not only on the island Mors but all over Denmark, in motivating them to get in better shape. Recently Riis has appeared as himself in a number of Tuborg Squash-commercials, where he jovially beats up two squash-players, while a tune is playing the words "Du' min aller-bedste Squash-Buddy" (You're my very best Squash-Buddy). Here in 2009 Riis is hosting a new Danish TV channel called "6’eren" where he is presenting "Friday Fight Night" a package with all kinds of action, including Wrestling - American Gladiators and action movies.In the mid-1990s, Riis hosted his own television programme on the Danish TV channel TV3, showcasing first WWF Superstars and later on, after the World Wrestling Federation, showcased World Championship Wrestling. He was a Danish color commentary for the matches and explaining the jist of the promos that wrestlers would do before matches. Classic phrases uttered during his color commentary of matches are "U-behagelig" (unpleasant, nasty) and "vi må ikke håbe han har fået gule ærter til aftensmad" (Let's hope he hasn't had yellow pea soup for dinner), usually said after a wrestler has been hit in the gut, as a reference to him perhaps letting out some wind in the middle of the match and many more like a headace no. 135 after a bionic elbow.Riis is also good friends with fellow Danish actor (and longtime friend of Arnold Schwarzenegger) Sven-Ole Thorsen, who also had a small part in The 13th Warrior and was on the lead cast of the cult sci-fi show Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future.In the Danish Wrestling scene, Riis' wrestling school used to be the only place in Denmark to learn the performing art of professional wrestling, with the spirit of keeping everyone in the best shape possible and learning weight training - coordination - acrobatics and all styles from the wrestling world.Riis has 4 sons, and one of them Klaus Myren Riis, who is also a wrestler, trained by his father, and a bodybuilder. He works as a very successful bodybuilding and fashion model.".
