334. John Nord “The Berzerker”

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.
