RIP Oliver Humperdink

Boy, am I getting tired of writing about people passing away.  However, I guess when you start a website that focuses on legendary figures, there is a good chance that this will happen on a regular basis.  The latest name is known only to wrestling fans, that being, Sir Oliver Humperdink who was a long time manager in regional promotions and had a near one year stint in the WWF.

Humperdink was at time a wrestler himself, but he did not have the physical gifts to be a headliner.  He worked his way into managing, and was a fixture in the South, mostly in Florida.  Humperdink entered the WWF as the face manager of Bam Bam Bigelow and Paul Orndorff, but he was essentially muted in the role.  He would resurface in WCW, going back to his rulebreaking ways, but he never seemed to be an effective figure on a National scale.  We here at notinhalloffame had Oliver Humperdink ranked at #199 on our list for those the WWE should consider for the Hall of Fame, and we say goodbye to the "Big Kahuna".
