The original Lord Humongous was portrayed by Mike Stark, who was tall and physically impressive like the character in the movie.
The character was introduced as manager Jimmy Hart's latest "Monster heel" to challenge the Continental Wrestling Association's (CWA) dominant face Jerry "the King" Lawler.
At that time, Lord Humongous was introduced to the public with an official music video “War Machine” by KISS, which became his entrance theme.
Jeff Van Camp Sr. reprised the character in 2019 in the revived Continental Championship Wrestling when he assisted Cowboy Dennis Gale in a "lights out" match Gale was scheduled against heel Jivin' Jerry Stubbs on May 11, 2019, in Dothan, AL during CCW 2.0 Fanfest.
In 2009 Sid's son Gunnar Eudy, a rookie with an impressive physique, played the same part his father did 22 years earlier.
