Robert Alexander "Jeep" Swenson Jr. (January 5, 1957 - August 18, 1997) was an American professional wrestler, stuntman and actor.
Career
Wrestling
Swenson wrestled for World Class Championship Wrestling in 1987 and 1988 as Jeep Swenson for manager Gary Hart. According to Swenson, he had the largest biceps in the world at that time (they were recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records).
Swenson returned to wrestling for a match at World Championship Wrestling's Uncensored pay-per-view on March 24, 1996. He performed as a member of the "Alliance to End Hulkamania". WCW claimed they were unaware that The Final Solution was the name Adolf Hitler gave to his plan to destroy the Jews.

Swenson's first role was as an uncredited thug in an early Jackie Chan movie The Big Brawl. His actual blood vessels were outlined in ink for “Batman” by the makeup experts at Warner Bros.
Personal life
Swenson was born in San Antonio, Texas as the son and only child of Patricia Maxine (née Wells) (1920-2006) and Robert Alexander Swenson Sr (1920-1997). His death was likely contributed to by his usage of steroids which he started to use in his early 20s during his pro wrestling career. Because of this, he reportedly could not shower properly, put on a shirt, or easily walk upstairs.
