I want one but I don't think we'd see it anytime soon.

I think Jakks made him in the CS line (or he was in a future lineup) but I did pass on him then and would do so again. I didn't find him as a credible opponent for Hulk back then and didn't find him entertaining at all.

I don't think Mattel will ever make one, but I would buy one.
The Hogan/Savage/Zeus threads is one of my earliest memories of Wrestling as a child. I remember Hogan/Andre slightly, but this is the 1st feud I really remember being 6 or 7 at the time. I thought he was a monster and feared for Hogan's life. Adult me realizes how terrible he was yet WCW brought him in.

I didn't find him as a credible opponent for Hulk back then and didn't find him entertaining at all. I thought he was for sure a credible opponent? What was not to love? Big, tall, strong, with the gimmick he didn't feel pain. Certainly more impressive looking than ANY foe Hogan had in the eighties. Except the lack of wrestling ability, I was sold.

I'd like to see one, but like stated, I doubt it will happen. I've still got my CS 15 Zeus somewheres, so that will have to suffice.

Because I saw him in movies and TV shows prior to the whole Zues gimmick. Maybe if I hadn't already seen him as an actor I might have believed it more. But I had seen him in "Armed and Dangerous", "Extreme Prejudice", "Beverly Hills Cop 2" and a TV show I think it was called "Perfect Strangers" it was a show about two cousins named Balky and Larry Appleton. (?) Anyway I had seen him too much already before Zues.

( Love the perfect strangers and balky and Larry Appleton reference btw. Keep that nostalgia coming. ) Zeus was a bad wrestler I agree. But he looked friggin crazzzzy and I especially loved how he looked to pit against hogan. Who was gonna beat hogan really anyway? Might as well get a guy as big as hogan and from Compton non the less

Hell no. What a waste of plastic. This comment makes me think you are under 20 years of age. Or he doesn't need a figure based on a movie and a guy who ended up in a bad program with poor wrestling ability because of said movie. That movie sucks anyway. BUT I could find many uses for a Deebo.

That movie sucks anyway. BUT I could find many uses for a Deebo. The movie, No Holds Barred, is better than any movie wwe has made recently. And the program Zeus was in with Hulk was Awesome. Zeus had more credibility as a "bad guy"/challenger to Hogan than does anyone on the current roster. Look at it this way. WWF was so successful with Zeus that they had him main event 2 of the only 4 ppvs wwf had back in those days. PLUS they added a 5th ppv that year just in honor of the movie and in that ppv Zeus also main evented. Not a single current wwe wrestler can say the company created a ppv based off of their movie. Look at the PPV buy rates. Zeus as main event at Summer Slam 1989 got 625,000 ppv buys. That number was the peak, it wouldnt be bested until the 1998 Summer which got 700,000 ppv buys. And since then there have been no Summer Slam ppvs to do better. So obviously it was a great program. I think really you just needed to be a fan back then to really understand. Zeus was a monster that looked awesome, like he could pose a threat to Hogan. Plus the way they showcased him on television made it seem like he was unstoppable. Wwe fans today, I think, are quick to bash the old school wrestlers because wrestlers of today look so much smaller in comparison.

Being better than recent movies does not make it good AT ALL. No Holds Barred is seriously one of the worst movies ever. You can like it, and that's fine, but Kubrick it is not.
And you absolutely can not compare the buy rates of 1987 with today. That's just absurd, come on.

I know it's amazing that a ppv that is almost 30 years old has more buy rates for any recent summer slam, just going by how population has increased modern ppvs should dwarf 25 year old ppvs. But they dont, so obviously it was a great program that people wanted to watch. Again, you prob are young so all you know is HBK and on so you prob arent a fan of the Hogan era?

The audience for wrestling is significantly lower than then, regardless of population.
I also hate the attitude era AND the hogan era. Best stuff then definitely didn't involve garbage work like Zeuss v Hogan. I'll stick with MidSouth or Japan.
Besides, we live in the digital age, the number of years someone has spent on the planet has nothing to do with what they're a fan of.
But you've been making a lot of illogical points thus far, so I can't imagine any of this matters to you.

It kind of speaks on your tastes in wrestling. You like Mid South, yet they went broke cause people didnt watch. You like Japan, yet none of that is on television here in the States. So you like very obscure wrestling which tells me you either just like being a contrarian or you rarely watch wrestling. I myself grew up in the Hogan era, so it's what I love. I can watch other wrestling but nothing will ever be as good as the Hogan era. To me even the attitude era is all about Hogan. In a sense that wwe had Stone Cold but Wcw had Hollywood Hogan and the NWO. Two great eras of wrestling, both of which saw Hogan be the top guy.

Christ, just because something is popular doesn't make it good.
Or maybe it does and that's why you're a Justin Bieber superfan.
For the record, I watch like, 15 hours of wrestling a week. WWE/WWF is consistently the worst out of all of it, probably because I'd rather watch wrestling than a self-proclaimed entertainment company instead.

If it wasnt good people wouldnt like it and as such it wouldnt be popular. It goes back to you liking Mid South, it was ok but was it good? If it was good it would have lasted longer than it did. Justin isnt to my musical liking btw.

Okay, literally every opinion you ever post now is invalid. People like terrible things all the time. The fact that you are a grown man and think anything thats popular is objectively good is blowing my mind right now.

For anyone to say they care more about the wrestling than the entertainment aspect means they shouldnt be watching pro wrestling to begin with. If all you care about is wrestling then I suggest you watch collegiate wrestling. In collegiate wrestling there will be no entertainment aspect, just pure wrestling.

There is more to wrestling than silly ass cartoon stories ala Hulkamania or the Dungeon of Doom or whatever "entertainment" you want to bring up. You sound SUPER ignorant on this subject.
Most of the professional wrestling in the world is about the wrestling, not the "entertainment," because prowrestling is entertaining enough as is.
