Mattel And WWE Pay Homage To 80's Cult Classic Wrestling Movie, No Holds Barred

The WWE and Mattel are collaborating on a collectible that will immortalize Rip and Zeus, the two titans from the 1980's movie, No Holds Barred, starring Hulk Hogan and the late Tommy "Zeus" Lister. Set to be revealed at the San Diego Comic Con July 21 through the 24th, this two-pack collector's item will include the figures adorned in a box stylized as a VHS. A fitting aesthetic.

According to Sports Illustrated's Jason Barrasso, this, along with other action figures will be revealed at San Diego Comic Con, along with panels featuring Cody Rhodes and Zalina Vega. The homage captures the moment when "Zeus" debuted in the WWF and confronted The Hulkster during his WWF Championship reign in 1989, the year the movie hit theaters.

Zeus would show up and destroy Hulk Hogan, continuing the feud well into that August at SummerSlam, where Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake teamed up to face he and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, with Sensational Sherri in their corner. Hogan would defeat Zues with a shot to the head from Sherri's loaded purse, a slam, and the Leg Drop.
