8 Celebrities Who Deserve A Place In WWE Hall Of Fame

8. Tom ‘Tiny’ Lister

This actor's time in wrestling is looked back on more with comedy than respect, as he crossed over into the industry thanks to his role as the leading villain - Zeus - in the appalling Hulk Hogan led movie No Holds Barred.

Lister certainly captured the feeling of a Greek god as this actor was humungous, even dwarfing Hogan, who was in prime shape at the time. Despite the corniness of the film and the angle he was involved in, Lister proved to be a dedicated presence in the WWF, wrestling multiple matches at huge events like SummerSlam and Survivor Series.

However, his appearances weren't limited to WWF as he also worked in WCW under the name Z-Gangsta where he once again feuded with Hulk Hogan in 1996. It's safe to say that he would never be a wrestling megastar, but his crossover appeal and willingness to get in the ring were impressive. At least he got his hands a little dirty, which is better than many other celebrities.

Outside of wrestling, Lister had a decorated acting career, starring in movies like The Fifth Element and The Dark Knight. He tragically passed away in 2020, and thus, placing him into the WWE HOF would be a loving tribute to the monster once known as Zeus.
