John Nord (born October 18, 1959) is a retired American professional wrestler.
Nord started wrestling in late 1984 for Mid-South Wrestling as The Barbarian, managed by Skandor Akbar. In 1985, the AWA originally promoted him as a member of the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League. In 1986, he became Nord the Barbarian and wrestled in singles and tag team matches (under manager Adnan El Kassey) in the American Wrestling Association. Here, he frequently teamed with Bruiser Brody. The two faced Greg Gagne and Jimmy Snuka as part of a triple main event at WrestleRock '86.
Nord then went to World Class Championship Wrestling (managed by Gary Hart), where he feuded with Kevin Von Erich over the WCWA World Heavyweight Championship. He challenged Von Erich for the title at the fourth annual David Von Erich Memorial Parade of Champions at Texas Stadium in 1987.
In 1989, he returned to the AWA under the name Yukon John (a lumberjack gimmick where he would come to the ring with an ax, dressed in blue jeans, flannel shirt, animal skin hat and boots). He mainly competed in singles matches, until forming a tag team in 1990 with Scott Norton, called The Yukon Lumberjacks. They briefly feuded with The Texas Hangmen. When the AWA folded, Nord moved to Pacific Northwest Wrestling.
