lord humongous is a professional wrestling character also known as a "gimmick" that was originally introduced in memphis' continental wrestling association (cwa) in 1984. the character was based on a gang leader called "the humungus" or at times "lord humungus" from the 1981 movie "mad max 2: the road warrior". the original lord humongous was portrayed by mike stark, who was tall and physically impressive like the character in the movie. since lord humongous always wears a hockey mask it allowed promoters to replace the man under the mask without having to publicly acknowledge that it was someone else playing the part. the character became a recurring gimmick on the cwa but was also used in other promotions after the cwa closed. the character has been played by a number of wrestlers including jeff van kamp, sid vicious and barry buchanan and sid's son gunnar eudy.
