We actually have no problem admitting that we liked the “Berzerker” character. John Nord had a lot of success in the AWA where he was essentially a disciple of the late Bruiser Brody, but it was as a demented Viking in the WWE that Nord would achieve his biggest fame. He was big and athletic and delivered a series of moves that few could emulate. Although he was a good mid card heel, he could have been more in the WWE.

Should John Nord "The Berserker" be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 30.4%

Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 8.7%

Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 8.7%

No opinion. - 0%

No way! - 52.2%
