The Berzerker: Was a Viking outside a WWE ring

The Berzerker was originally going to be called "The Viking", which was still ridiculous, but at least like the Nordic warriors of the same name, would have done more to instil fear into the watching WWE Universe.

However, for reasons unknown, WWE elected to change the name to The Berzerker. What exactly is a Berzerker??

In actuality, a Berzerker was a type of Viking, a champion Viking in fact. However, how many WWE fans back in the early 1990s would have known that?

Berzerk was the word most people closely associated with the character and as he marched around the ring shouting "huss" and throwing his opponents out of the ring as he was only interested in winning by countout, it seemed an apt description.

A ridiculous name for an even more ludicrous character. No surprises that the character was never more than an opening card act.
