Sayonara, Ayatolla of Rock and Rolla
quote:

On behalf of the Cauliflower Alley Club, we honor the memory of Kjell Nilsson, forever remembered as the unforgettable Lord Humungus in The Road Warrior movie.

While Mr. Nilsson was not a professional wrestler, his larger-than-life presence helped inspire generations of wrestling personas. The influence of the Mad Max/The Road Warrior universe can be seen in countless gimmicks that brought intensity, chaos, and spectacle to our industry.

We celebrate a man whose work transcended film and left a lasting imprint on the world of sports entertainment. Rest in peace, he was 76 years old.

He gave Jake "The Snake" a real run for his money at the Centroplex, back in '85.

I believe he had to be an inspiration for the Tom Hardy version of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.

You apparently don’t watch awesome 80’s movies either.

I was scared to death of him as a little lad when attending local circuit wrestling because I saw Road Warrior. Man, growing up in the 80s and seeing movies like Road Warrior, Conan, Rambo, Commando, etc...it was a great time.

That definitely inspired Demolition back in the late 80s/maybe early 90s.

Whatever happened to the main man for Humungus in Mad Max. His underling. That was the most scary character, imo.

Humongous vs Dick Murdoch 1985 here it is!! Throwing a 6'-4" 270lb man like that back into the ring was impressive @ 3:51



RIP Original Humongous
