Zeus (Tom Lister Jr.) died on the 10th of December 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. He was 62 years old. May he rest in peace. I have to say I really liked this movie and the wrestling angle when I was a kid. Silly but good fun.

[@handleunavailable]

Tbf he looked like a superstar. Bro was JAHKED

[@webs538]

Same and Rest In Peace to Tom Lister Jr.

[@michaeljohnston4459]

Wasn't he in Friday too?

[@stoneosborne9247]

I think Sherri climbing the cage, disappearing off screen, crouch running behind Zeus and Macho and appearing back in front of the cage is some of the funniest shit in WWF history.

[@user-tl4fi6oy8d]

The opening promo was better than anything you'd ever see today.

[@Duk3Silv3r]

They didn't even try to hide it. 🤣

[@user-tl4fi6oy8d]

You're all watching it through a 2022 lens. Back at the time it was intense and real and chaotic so it didn't matter if she was running around behind. It was like she was trying to get back at the camera. It was believable, and for a kid it was scary. There was no internet; there were no internet smarks. It was a totally different audience watching wrestling back in the 80s and 90s.

[@Xehanort10]

I feel like Savage, Sherri and Lister were all on crack during that promo.

[@homeyiommi1921]

Cocaine. Crack was for the lower-income set....they definitely could afford powder. Lol

[@delljr2769]

Cocaine and Steroids where the norm back in the 1985-1990, WWF, pretty much the early Wrestle Mania years and working 300 days out of the year and the other days travel. When you break down and get injured it's hard to turn down $10K-$50K each month and that is Huge money back in the 80's when a fat house was less than $100K I could be wrong on numbers but if they didnt work they didnt get paid and Vince was a slave driver whip in hand when the workers needed break time.

[@DashCat9]

That might have been the funniest promo I've ever seen.

[@hellyeahdude]

The CIA gave Zeus the crack and he shared it with his buddies, how lovely!

[@courseworkdue]

Hulk Hogan is wearing some periwinkle blue ring gear STEVE! WHAT BAR IS HE???

[@Xehanort10]

No Holds Barred is like a Hulk Hogan version of The Room. Portrays Hogan as a really great guy when in fact he's anything but. And it's basically Hogan's ego trip just like The Room was Tommy Wiseau's.

[@TeemoQuinton]

... Wait did Tommy do something horrible I don't know about? I thought it was just a passion project gone wild

[@chrisatkins1665]

[@christopherwall2121]

@@TeemoQuinton He kept firing actors, strongarmed Greg Sestero into being in the movie, got really creepy around Lisa's actress, and became even more unpleasant as the shoot wore on. Oh, and it's also likely he made The Room as retaliation for a bad break-up

[@planescaped]

The biggest stretch in the movie is that Hulk Hogan has integrity and can't be bought. That legit made me laugh without even needing to make a joke. XD Also, Tiny Lister did a great job playing Zeus, he actually kept in character better than most wrestlers, even if his actual wrestling was limited. But the little things like pushing Macho away when he gets near him were kind of great.
