Zeus is No. 9 among all-time sports losers!

9. No Holds Barred—Zeus
Zeus was the ultimate bad-guy wrestler; he did time for killing a guy in the ring and spent the last five years working out all his rage in the weight room. At 6’8” with that crazy lazy eye, he was a gigantic, mentally retarded killing machine whose only dialogue the whole movie came when he whispered "Zeus" after maiming 20 yokels in a country bar.

Zeus is so cool he should have a cult following.

Actually, he has more dialogue than just "Zeus". He also says "I don't guess" and "Your brother's yellow, and i'm gonna kill him".

Zeus reminds me a little of Clubber Lang from Rocky 3...

Well actually Zeus was used in some of the wrestling events back in 1989 because I remember watching all of the wrestling events on TV that they had. They used Tommy Tiny Lister as a way to promote and make things interesting. Once the popularity of No Holds Barred ran its course they then dropped the storylines built around Zeus and Hulk Hogan.

He was a reall bad ass Zeus was in my opinion.

Yeah i remember Zeus in WWF.

[–] RobBase086-1 15 years ago

He was not used very long on WWF back in the day but I remember going to see this movie and loved it when it came out. I was a major wrestling fan at that time. I still was a major wrestling fan but after Stone Cold Steve Austin retired and what Chris Benoit did to himself, his wife, and son I sort of lost interest in it. I work on Mondays so it is hard for me to keep up as to what is going on with the WWE now.

I honestly think that the WWE has grown way too large to where they use the same story lines over and over again to where it is predictable as to what is going to happen next. That is a part of the reason as to why I stopped watching it.
