That end :deadmanny:

Rosenberg with the :merchant:

On the real though I've read before that the plan was to have Hulk v Zeus main event WM V (think it was V). But No Holds Barred wasn't the success McMahon expected so it was scrapped. So it wouldn't have surprised me if Zeus was given a run.

If a guy like The Great Khali got a title run I'm sure Zeus could've held it for a minute.

Rosenberg needs to do more of these, he used to do them on a consistent basis, hate that he stopped

No holds barred was a big success though

Nah it really wasn't

Box office and reception[edit]
The movie debuted at #2, behind Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with $4,957,052 in ticket sales.[1] Hogan writes in his autobiography the budget was about eight million dollars.[2] Vince McMahon, who financed the movie, more or less broke even because of distribution fees. The final tally was $16,093,651 in ticket sales.[1]

During the October 13, 1997 episode of Monday Night Raw, Vince McMahon joked, "Hogan promised me that if the movie lost money he was gonna return his salary. I guess the check is still in the mail." This was during the Monday Night Wars and was part of a number of digs at Hogan's then-new movie project Assault on Devil's Island. Raw commentator Jim Ross also joked during the late 90s; "No Holds Barred? More like No Profit Allowed."

Not a disaster but not the smash hit Vince wanted.

If it had been so successful we would've seen more WWF related movies in the early 90s.

The film broke even.

Nothing that could be described as a "big success"
