We may not like everything Tiny "Zeus" Lister told me a few months back, but there surely are some fascinating tidbits in here. Took me a while to get the footage but here it is!
This the video everybody need to see.... The side of Zeus/Deebo that you don't get to see.... Rest in Heaven Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr. !! Zeus for the WWE Hall of Fame!!
Love all his characters. He really brought it. Never had the pleasure of meeting him. He seems like a really good person. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP 🙏 big guy. You will be missed.
Zeus was so awesome when I was little. I loved No Holds Barred as a child. Hogan rips off the limo door, "what's that smell?" The limo driver replies in sheer terror, "D-d-d-d-dooooooooooookie."
RAQUAAHWA TheCodedtestament I stopped watching wrestling for years the night Wcw became part of the WWf. I would have thought Zeus would have already been inducted. I can't understand how Pete rose and Arnold's in the hof because Zeus actually wrestled. I always wondered what happened to him until he showed up in Friday.
wrestlerama Hulk was never 6'8". Even Hogan himself claims he was 6'7" at his tallest. Obviously Lister is going to know Hogan's true height. He said Hogan was 6'5" in 1989 and that's about as tall as Hogan ever looked. Lister would know if Hulk was taller than him.
I remembered meeting him in downtown miami 15 years ago. He looked very intimidating with his impressive size. I still went up to him for a small talk and he was a true gentleman with class and invited me to a party in south beach in which i never went. But i could tell you he's a giant teddy bear.
Much respect to this guy for his respect & knowledge of the wrestling business...I wouldn't have a problem with him going into the celebrity wing of the wwe hall of fame...
I can see his comeback now... "Whatchu got on mah fo'dee, Cena?!" "You gonna git involved, Dolph, or I'mma knock yo ass out too!" - Zeus getting the members of Cena's Survivor Series team to turn on Cena. lol.
Just about everyone knows Tiny Lister as Deebo but I know him as Zues first time I ever seen him was in a movie call armed and dangerous starting John Candy & Meg Ryan
I’ve always remember him as Zeus also even when he played Deebo. I totally forgot about that movie Armed and Dangerous that was a good one! But what John Candy movie wasn’t a good one! Lol It sucks that they’re both gone now. 😔🙏❤️ RIP
Tom seems like a very nice guy when he is out of character he made a few movies that I saw him in one was about the trucking business he was really good in it and very layed back in the part he portrayed
"Keep quiet in the backroom y'all, before I come over and choke y'all". My favorite part of this entire interview with Zeus makes me laugh extremely hard. Man!!!!! Tiny "Zeus" Lister is one of the biggest, baddest, mean streak, indestructible, tough black guy. Not to mention villian of all time. In the history of professional wrestling and Hollywood acting is the living legend "Zeus" hands down. In addition, Deebo image will never die, its embedded in him to remain the whole Deebo image alive.
Zeus needs to come back to the WWE...set things right and become world heavyweight champion. Dream matches: Zeus vs. Undertaker Zeus vs. Batista Zeus vs. Goldberg Zeus vs. Big Show
What an excellent interview! Peter Rosenberg is my new favorite interviewer. You can just tell he respects the business and the wrestlers love him for it. haha I had to rewatch the last minute because I was laughing so hard!
That's tough to call, Vince could have said that just to get him to sign and commit on the wrestling side over acting. On the other hand it's a business and Zeus is a big draw.
Loving this one thank's for sharing very important information giving blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work gone but not forgotten let his legacy lives on just give him his credit and respect that he deserves a game changer 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Zues scared me because he was scary. Lol. Bolo was a different can of worms. I remember his fight with vandam in double impact. Who picks up oil barrels and just throws them at folks. Really?? Lol
He seems like a nice dude...From the videos I watch on YT of him in the WWF,he played his character really well...his wrestling was never anything great but his persona was pretty damn good
...NOW WE TALKING ME ,,,my UNCLES ,,,90...year-...,,dad all sat Up ...BEER ,,,WINE ,,,popcorn,,,for Saturday- NIGHT ''s MAIN EVENT the women even brought out the potato-salad and CHICKEN WINGS -----
great post it' was really excellent watching Zeus speak as Zeus again, that is who this man is to me, maybe not the God but the Wrestler, this man is Zeus
Best ending ever LOL! Amazing interview as always Pete. You're so gifted with this. Hopefully WWE hire you one day, even if it was to commentate on NXT (Great show for WRESTLING fans)
I have to think that the other black guy he was talking about is "Bad News Brown". I remember him saying in an interview that he was promised a Heavy Weight Title run with the then WWF. Looking back, it would have been awesome if even one of those men carried the title for a year
I saw them fight in Albany hulk vs Zeus it was great I was just a kid I remember getting the program I wish I still had it, it was a great mag, what a fight fucking excellent
Nah, that last bit @ 20 min. You can see Rosenberg lip syncing Zeus's lines.. That was acting, maybe a bit of a more firm grip than Rose would've imagined tho..
...yeahhhh...they LIED AGAIN...HOGAN...@...6'8''...and ANDRE-THE GIANT ...@...7'5''...w.t.f. me ,,,wife,,,and KIDS @ all TOWSON CENTER ( TOWSON-MARYLAND-)...now those were the Days -- '''***
Bro all wrestlers heights (well the tall guys at least) are exaggerated. Taker is about 6'7 and Andre at his youngest and healthiest was 6'10, 6'11 tops.
he's pushing that monster lol 3rd interview I've seen with him wearing monster. lol love Zeus he's a great guy and he's real... Stanley bike was blue..lol didn't put to n to together when I saw Friday lol that it's zues from wrestling and N HB .. lol this man has a great career check it out..
this guy was a no show at a house show once to wrestle hogan in my home town of buffalo ny at the Niagara falls civic and convention center I was so heartbroken and they never give you notice untill the day of the show where the ring anouncer says there has been a change to tonight's program lol
Story Time. So back around 2008 I go to work for my night shift, I was a porter at a hotel in Plymouth, UK. When I arrive, I go to the back office to see my manager, who is also my buddy Jim. We used to smoke weed and watch movies together on the night shift. Anyway so as soon as I walk in Jim says "Bro go check out whos in the lobby". So I walk out to the reception area, a huge long desk.. look over and just see one HUGE DUDE sat there using his laptop. I walk back "Jim, who the hell is that big unit?" Jim says "Friday bro" I'm like "NO WAY", I walk back out and I see it. Its fucking DEEBO!!! We used to LOVE the friday movies. So anyway, eventually we got talking with him. He was here for 2 weeks filming some irish movie on Dartmoor. But every single night he sat in the lobby because it had the best wifi signal and he would talk to his wife over skype, due to the time difference he was up late every single night. One day I walked in and he shouts "HEY YOU GOT THAT RED TIE ON LITTLE CHRIS, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU PUT RED IN FRONT OF A BULL?? IM THE BULL!!!!" He would go full Deebo mode just to make me and Jim laugh. He even got us to say hi to his wife over skype when serving him drinks. He was honestly the biggest but nicest man you could ever meet. When that guy is stood in front of you he looks scary, but he is the opposite in personality. One evening I saw the director of the movie really tearing into him for some reason. After he walked away I said "Hey, you really let that guy talk to you like that?" He said "Little Chris, sometimes I just gotta be Tiny" I was like "wow". He really left an impression on us and even gave us both a card from his wallet which had his contact details on. He said "If you ever make it to LA, hit me up". He signed the cards too. I could not believe it. So that's my Tiny Lister story. Rest In Peace Tiny, me and Jim from England will never forget you.
Thanks for sharing your story I enjoyed reading it! Just from watching this interview you can tell he was a nice guy. I hate that we’re losing so many incredible people from my childhood & teen years. I really miss the 20th Century. Personally I think life was better back then even though my childhood was let’s just say tumultuous. 🤷🏻♀️ Anyways great story & much love from the US!
Back in those days he was a monster. Just what he projected out was intimidating. Maybe not to Mike Tyson levels but for an actor he looked like you'd never fuck with him.
Wha..!! Holdup... whataminute.... WHAT?! So, not only did Vince actually OFFER to let Zeus run with the Championship... but for A YEAR?! //jaw literally dropped//
RIP Tom "Tiny" Lister Jr. aka Zeus, aka Obobo from the movie Posse, aka Deebo from Friday.
People forget he was in posse
Thank You
This the video everybody need to see....
The side of Zeus/Deebo that you don't get to see....
Rest in Heaven Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr. !!
Zeus for the WWE Hall of Fame!!
Great guy and a pleasure to work with. Check out his music video on my page his last video as Deebo
He talks about Macho man being in heaven so now I hope they are there together talking about old times.
SO HEART BREAKING to Hear this Man Passed!!!
Rest In Peace Big Man!!!
Tiny Luster came to one of my high schools in 91 or 92. This guy was funny as hell.
I never even knew he was a wrestler! Just knew him as deebo... He seemed like a really nice man! R.I.P big dog
Rest in peace Debo!
R.I.P ZEUS MUCH LOVE FROM 🇵🇷 WE LOVE YOU BROTHER
Rip deebo what a humble and great soul
RIP Tiny!
Love all his characters. He really brought it. Never had the pleasure of meeting him. He seems like a really good person. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP 🙏 big guy. You will be missed.
Damn... he still ain't gave Red that bike back
Zeus was so awesome when I was little. I loved No Holds Barred as a child. Hogan rips off the limo door, "what's that smell?" The limo driver replies in sheer terror, "D-d-d-d-dooooooooooookie."
Lololol, funniest part in the movie. It's a classic movie.
Lol classic doookies and the guy sharts his pants
I was a big fan of his monster heel character! I hope that he will be inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE HOF someday.
RAQUAAHWA TheCodedtestament I stopped watching wrestling for years the night Wcw became part of the WWf. I would have thought Zeus would have already been inducted. I can't understand how Pete rose and Arnold's in the hof because Zeus actually wrestled. I always wondered what happened to him until he showed up in Friday.
Man, my little cousin and I used to say that line so much. He used to walk around pretending to be Rip, and I was Zeus
R.I.P. Tiny Lister aka Zeus aka Deebo
He was 6'7", 305 pounds according to this interview. LOL. I remember WWF billed him as 6'11", 343 pounds.
And he was only 6'7" in lifts. He said he and Hulk's real height was 6'5".
+zackvanhalen hulk was 6.8 he's 6.5 now because of all the back surgerys
wrestlerama Hulk was never 6'8". Even Hogan himself claims he was 6'7" at his tallest. Obviously Lister is going to know Hogan's true height. He said Hogan was 6'5" in 1989 and that's about as tall as Hogan ever looked. Lister would know if Hulk was taller than him.

Bless you, Deebo. Never change.
when 30 years later you find out that Zeus is acctualy a very nice guy
I had to tuck my chain and take off my watch before I watched this
Best comment I've seen on this interview.... 😂😂😂
Lmao..loved how he transitioned into his Debo character at the end of the interview
Wow if Zues had the Belt that would have shook a lot of things up
...THE ONE THING THAT VINCE SAW COMING ...A BLACK MAN TAKING OVER -------
...nah...VINCE WASN"T having ...iT
"You want some too, Old Man?"
:points fingers: "NO!"
😂😂
Reynaldo Ray Red's Pops he dead too
Debo "Tiny" you are a very special dude! Thank you for the laughs!
WOW, couldn't have booked a better finish to this interview!
loved his wrestling character! really wish wwe woulda kept him even longer.
...like He said ...EVIL Ass VINCE'' WROTE He Off only WANTED HOGAN ...
...or rather ...$$$-$$$-...paid him ...off ...
Much respect to this guy for his respect & knowledge of the wrestling business...I wouldn't have a problem with him going into the celebrity wing of the wwe hall of fame...
Tiny is really humble, good guy.
Hahahhaha love Zeus man.... I love how he’s such a nice guy but he can switch into character like a light switch 🤣
I can see his comeback now...
"Whatchu got on mah fo'dee, Cena?!"
"You gonna git involved, Dolph, or I'mma knock yo ass out too!" - Zeus getting the members of Cena's Survivor Series team to turn on Cena. lol.
Love Devo......... LOVE that Andre story.... Oh Yeah..... little guy Dusty Rhodes??? LOL!
ZEUS WWE HALL OF FAME 2017!!
+D Pounds i agree
I hope next year(2017) since 2016 Hall is long gone
I edited it. lol
Obama for prison 2017
If Zeus Hall of fame 2018 or 2019 Vince Mcmahon Will Plan Pick Up EX WWE Superster Hall of Fame

Seems like such a nice guy you never get to see this side of him
Mr Lister is drop some serious knowledge right now
This guy, today, is a better act than Ziggler, Sheamus, and Del Rio.
...TRUE STATEMENT ...but they all took ...steroids ---
This dude outsmarted the Joker
Tommy 'Tiny' Lister/Zeus/Deebo - Hermano en Cristo. R.I.P. 🌹 Deebo's bike in the background. 👍

THAT'S MY BIKE PUNK!
06:41 I believe the guy he's speaking about is Bad News Brown.
ha ha i remember that name
Or Natural Butch Reed
That's what I was thinking. Only person who was black about his height back then.
Or maybe Tony atlas or even junkyard dog.
Tony Atlas
Much Respect Tiny, Deeebo, Zeus Awesome Career Keep Up the good work. Awesome Ending!
Is that Red’s bike in the background?
@Nich Hodge 😂😂😂
Red dumbass
And that’s Cube bus.....
“ that’s my bus punk”
Reds bike
Disrespectful
Man Zues is such a down to earth guy.
When I was a kid he scared the shit outta me!lol
You and me both bro......
Me too!
wow he's mellowed out considerably since his Arsenio Hall appearance lol
Zeus needs to come back to the WWE...set things right and become world heavyweight champion. Dream matches:
Zeus vs. Undertaker
Zeus vs. Batista
Zeus vs. Goldberg
Zeus vs. Big Show
Those dream matches would have been fire 🔥
Zeus vs Brock Lesnar
Zeus vs John Cena
Zeus vs Bobby Lashley
What an excellent interview!

That was awesome. I love Zeus even more now.
bolo yeung and tiny lister was the 2 greatest villains period
4thecollectors27 totally agree bolo was bad ass in bloodsport didn't need to say much as in lines

4thecollectors27 man i completely agree they were monstrous and as a kid scared all of us hahahah

Pity that we didn't get to see Zeus finishing moves. The good thing is that he is a good actor. RIP.
He seems like a nice dude...From the videos I watch on YT of him in the WWF,he played his character really well...his wrestling was never anything great but his persona was pretty damn good
Loved Tiny in The Fifth Element. Cool wrestling work as well.
rip Tommy Lister aka Deboo aka Zeus
Even Zeus steps aside for Andre The Giant!
To whoever asked what was wrong with his eye he was born blind and his retina in his right eye is deformed and detached
One of my favorites of all time! I remember zeus wrestling on Saturday Night Main Event, as he is getting ready to pummel hogan, the power went out

"And there's my bicycle!!! Can you dig it!!!!!?????" Lmao
Dame he a old school wrestling I remember him that a bad dude n he still look nice for his age coo 👍
It "Reds Bike" Freaking Casual!!🇺🇸🦅💯✌️😎✌️
The Actor / Wrestler everybody remembers is David Arquette, which is a shame.
Because Zues was a god damn boss.
Zeus vs Arquette in a steel cage match would have been awesome
He always seemed like a really cool dude.
I have to think that the other black guy he was talking about is "Bad News Brown". I remember him saying in an interview that he was promised a Heavy Weight Title run with the then WWF. Looking back, it would have been awesome if even one of those men carried the title for a year
or tony atlas....that's who i was thinking.....heard he was promised a run also.
@@SykopathBnG It was Bad News. He said it was someone in line to face Hogan and Bad News did face Hogan after in matches in october and november.
I wonder if he was taking about butch reed or teddy atlas as the next guy
Hard to believe he's gone.
great interview!

Nah, that last bit @ 20 min. You can see Rosenberg lip syncing Zeus's lines.. That was acting, maybe a bit of a more firm grip than Rose would've imagined tho..
That is news that Debo and Hogan are 6' 5"
