The man who portrayed “Zeus” in No Holds Barred actually had a much more notable role as “Deebo” in the Friday movie series, but for our purposes, Tom “Tiny” Lister is Zeus.  Zeus would headline Summer Slam in 1989 in a tag team match, and was on two more Pay Per views in prime positions (Survivor Series and No Holds Barred: The Match).  Lister was not much of a wrestler, and lost every match, but he was a dominating physical presence who did turn heads.

A life long fan of professional wrestling and the WWE, Arrow star, Stephen Amell, parlayed his love of the business and social media to land a tag team match against Stardust and Wade Barrett at Summer Slam.  Amell proved to be quite the athlete and for a “celebrity match” the tag team contest proved to be very good.

Snooki has a Wrestlemania match, which we are sure angers thousands of wrestler worldwide.  Still, the former Jersey Shore personality performed well in her six person intergender match at Wrestlemania (with Trish Stratus & John Morrison VS Layla, Michelle McCool and Dolph Ziggler) and did the promo work leading up to it.  Snooki wanted to be there, which can’t be said about every Wrestlemania celebrity.
