Tom “Tiny” Lister, Also Known As “Zeus”, Passes Away At Age 62

We have some sad news to report today as Tom “Tiny” Lister, better known to WWE fans as “Zeus”, has passed away at the age of 62.

WWE.com had the following to say about him and his legacy:

Zeus first entered the squared circle opposite Hulk Hogan in the 1989 film “No Holds Barred.” The rivalry extended beyond the big screen, as The Human Wrecking Machine quickly formed a common bond with “Macho Man” Randy Savage in their shared quest to take down The Immortal One. Zeus & Savage battled Hogan & Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake in the main event of SummerSlam 1989. One of Zeus’ most memorable moments came at Survivor Series 1989 as part of Ted DiBiase’s Million Dollar Team, when The Human Wrecking Machine got the better of The Hulkster in an impressive display of strength.

Lister famously portrayed the daunting Deebo in the classic “Friday” and “Next Friday” movies, as well as roles in “The Fifth Element,” “The Dark Knight,” and “Zootopia.”

We at Wrestling Rumors extend our condolences to the Lister family during this difficult time.
