I hope WWE makes a Berzerker DVD. It would sell millions!

He had an incredible look. Brody must have given him a lousy rep to have the WWF and JCP ignore him during their war.

I always thought Jacob and Eli Blu stole his look.

An hommage to Brody of some sort.

I am surprised no one has done a Gif of Royal Rumble 1993, where it looks for a moment like Berserker is performing oral sex on the Undertaker!

He had an incredible look. Brody must have given him a lousy rep to have the WWF and JCP ignore him during their war. Not necessarily. Nord was very much like Brody in that he didn't like to stick around in one place too long, but was very much in-demand in the mid-80s, having won the PWI Rookie of the Year award in 1985. He just tended to do his own thing, hit a promotion for an angle or three, then head back home to Minnesota (which explains why he kept going in and out of the AWA).

The only thing that stands out to me in reference to The Berzerker was his coliseum video exclusive where he gave "party tips", including "when you're throwing a party, make sure you have a lot of chiiiiiips!! Huss Huss". I repeat that to myself to this day whenever I'm throwing a shindig. CHIIIIPS?A party needs, beef, and spice.

If he did stand watch during the Nailz thing, I wonder if why he didn't get in trouble over it is because he didn't think Nailz would outright assault Vince, he probably just thought he'd confront him, which I guess has never been uncommon with promoters and wrestlers if wrestlers think they're getting swindled. If he knew Nailz was going to choke Vince and was party to it, though, that's pretty low.

If he knew Nailz was going to choke Vince and was party to it, though, that's pretty low. He was let go right at a month later. I imagine it took a bit for McMahon to get word that Nord was in on it, and by then let him ride out whatever dates he was needed for before showing him the door.

He took a lot from Bruiser Brody in terms of his look and mannerisms. Brody was a bit of a mentor to Nord. In WWE, the Berzerker was originally called the Viking.
It was never really explained why he acted the way he did. His finisher in WWE was unique. He basically threw his opponents out of the ring and won by countout.

I would've marked out big-time if the Berzerker had confronted Bray Wyatt at the 2015 Royal Rumble, instead of the Boogeyman doing it. I still think Bray would've tossed him out in a minute

Is "Huss" a word that most Nordic warriors commonly yelled out during battle? Means "hungry". Poor fella, nobody understood him...

The best thing about the Berzerker is probably that it inspired Jimmy HUSS Jacobs
