10 Ridiculous WWE Urban Legends You Need To Stop Believing
9. Hogan/Zeus At WrestleMania 6
Any No Holds Barred fans out there? No, not the match type, but the 1989 classic that starred Hulk Hogan and Tommy Tiny Lister as the antagonist Zeus. It was Hogans major break into Hollywood, and needless to say it was pretty much a critical flop. At the time it came out, there was plenty of heavy promotion for it in the WWE, and Vince McMahon was quick to inform the fans to go see the show. Then to really beat upon a dying horse, Zeus was brought into the WWE to feud with Hulk Hogan. Eventually Lister left the company and Hogan went on to have a big match with The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 6. However, years later rumors started to spread that Hogan was originally meant to take on Zeus at WrestleMania 6, not Warrior. The idea was to take the final scene of No Holds Barred and bring it to WWE programming. If the movie had been a huge success, maybe there would have been a possibility of that match happening, but as far as most people are concerned Hogan was always meant to take on Warrior no matter what.
