5 Worst debuts in WWE history

#3 Zeus

Zeus was a character in No Holds Barred, but was a flop in WWF

Timy Lister appeared in the movie No Holds Barred, which was financed by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and starred Hulk Hogan. Lister's role was Zeus, a brutal monster heel. Vince McMahon wanted to take the movie to the wrestling ring and made Zeus a wrestler.

Lister was known as “The Human Wrecking Machine", and used the same "unfazable monster heel" gimmick in his matches – by no selling his opponent's more lethal moves. He would mispronounce wrestler's names, like referring to Brutus “The Barber" Beefcake as “Beefcake Barber.”

He wanted Hogan in the ring, citing jealousy of his success and his dominance in the business. The gimmick and Lister’s career was short-lived, needless to say.
