WWE Legend Hulk Hogan was featured in an animated series named Hulk Hogan‘s Rock’n’Wrestling. The cartoon show aired from 1985 to 1986 and showcased The Hulkster and several other superstars of his time. Now, WWE has relaunched the series once again.

The Stamford-based promotion has brought the show back on the official YouTube channel of WWE Vault. The series portrays the babyface version of Hulk Hogan, who teamed up with several other babyfaces to get around bizarre situations. On the other hand, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper was the leader of the heels who caused unleashed chaos in the show.

WWE Vault will be uploading four episodes of the animated series every Saturday. The...

Buckle up, movie fans—things just got spicy in the world of Hailee Steinfeld and viral commentator Dave Portnoy! The Barstool Sports founder has never been shy about sharing brutal hot takes, and this time, he’s got Hailee (and her blockbuster vampire flick “Sinners”) squarely in his crosshairs. What did Portnoy say, why is everyone talking about it, and how is it impacting Steinfeld’s Hollywood buzz? Let’s break down the drama with all the facts, zero fluff, and a splash of that signature Portnoy snark.

Hailee Steinfeld’s “Sinners” Draws Fire: Dave Portnoy’s No-Holds-Barred Review

It all started when Dave Portnoy, looking for a weekend movie to stream, ended up watching Steinfeld’s much-talked-about supernatural thriller “Sinners”. Instead of going gently on one of Hollywood’s hottest leading ladies, Portnoy did what he does best—drop a scalding critique for all of social media to see.

The late Hulk Hogan started his professional wrestling career in the late 1970s before he became one of the greatest and recognizable wrestling stars of all time. Near the beginning of his career, he also had a role in Rocky III.

The sports drama franchise starring Sylvester Stallone was already an established success by the time Hogan joined. After paying Hogan an emotional tribute following his death on Jul. 24, Stallone further showed his appreciation for the late WWE legend in a new documentary series. A few weeks after Hogan's tragic passing, the documentary TMZ Presents: The Real Hulk Hogan did a deep dive into the WWE Hall of Famer and shed light not only on his legacy but also the controversies that surrounded him.

The TV special featured several famous faces like Vince McMajon, Mick Foley, Bill Goldberg, and Stallone. The latter had nothing but praise for Hogan, a sentiment...

Hulk Hogan's official cause of death has been determined, one week after the WWE icon and Hollywood star died aged 71. The former professional wrestler (real name is Terry Bollea) passed away on July 24, 2025, after medics were reportedly called to his home in Clearwater, Florida, with operators stating it was regarding a "cardiac arrest." He was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. An Instagram post shared the same day said that Hogan was "surrounded by his loved ones" at the time of his passing.

According to a Cremation Approval Summary Report from the Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office in Florida and obtained by the New York Post, Hogan died from "acute myocardial infarction," commonly known as a heart attack. The documents also noted that Hogan had a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib), which is a type of heart rhythm problem where a person's heartbeat is irregular and often rapid,...

A week after Hulk Hogan‘s death, his precise cause of death has now been revealed.

Hogan, born Terry Bollea, died on July 24 in Clearwater, Florida after medical personnel were sent to his home as part of an apparent cardiac arrest. He was 71.

According to a cremation approval summary report from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Hogan died from acute myocardial infarction, or what is commonly referred to as a heart attack. His death was ruled the result of natural causes and was certified by his personal physician.

Hogan also had a history of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition and leukemia Cll, or cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, according to the report.

He leaves behind a legacy as a popular TV wrestler and a major Hollywood celebrity beginning in the 1980s. Hogan won the World Wrestling Entertainment championship six times during his career.

Hulk Hogan may have been a controversial figure in the industry, but his death sent shockwaves around the world nonetheless. At the time of his death, Hogan possessed a net worth of $25 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. Now, it looks like his fortune may cause some trouble in the family, especially if Brooke Hogan contests the will and things end up in probate court.

Firstly, let’s take a look at what his wife is entitled to, as per Florida laws.

We know that Hogan tied the knot with Sky Daily in 2023, after his 2021 divorce from Jennifer McDaniel. Now, according to Florida’s spousal elective share law, surviving spouses have the right to an elective share of the deceased’s estate.

As per The Sun‘s report, this could mean that Daily could inherit about a third of Hogan’s $25 million estate. Regardless of what his will or trust may say,...

Pro-wrestler and 1980s bastion of masculinity Terry "Hulk" Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025. He was 71. He was best-known early in his career for his sweaty antics in the WWF (later WWE) ring, and later became better known for some of his controversial actions and opinions outside of it. Also controversial was his filmography. Hogan, like many pro-wrestlers, attempted multiple times to become a movie star, although it was with only dubious success. He effectively played versions of himself in the bonkers sports dramas "Rocky III" (1982) and "No Holds Barred" (1989), but more frequently appeared in whimsical, kid-friendly movies like "Suburban Commando" (1991), "Mr. Nanny" (1993), and "Santa With Muscles" (1996). 

Few of these films were hits -- indeed, most of Hogan's kids movies were widely derided bombs -- but that didn't stop the Hulkster from trying. As recently as 2009, Hogan made another kids movie -- his final live-action film appearance -- in the form...

Before The Rock morphed into movie star Dwayne Johnson, and well-before John Cena traded his jorts for a Peacemaker helmet, Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea made the leap from a professional-wrestling ring to Hollywood.

Hogan was the man who put WWE (then WWF) on the map — quite literally, in most places. Vince McMahon Jr. dreamt of taking his dad’s Wwwf (the extra “W” was for the “Wide” in what had been the World Wide Wrestling Federation) from a regional league to a national one (the “World Wide” was just a marketing gimmick). But to steamroll his competitors in their own territories, McMahon needed two things: TV syndication, and one huge draw. Fortunately, he had a huge dude, Bollea, who stood 6’7” and famously had 24” biceps (really they were 22”), on his roster. Together, they created Hulk (because he was big like The Incredible Hulk) Hogan (to resonate with the northeast’s — the...

While the recently departed Hulk Hogan may have had a checkered cinematic career (see No Holds Barred or Suburban Commando...or don't), one of his movies has become a beloved cult classic. Starting next month, you'll be able to watch it on its new streaming home. Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Joe Dante's satirical 1990 sequel to his hit creature feature, is coming to HBO Max starting on August 1.

In the film, which is as much a spoof of the original Gremlinsas it is a sequel to it, Hogan turns up in a clever breaking of the fourth wall. In the film, the titular creatures are rampaging through a corporate high-rise that includes a movie theater...which then causes the actual movie to stop. An usher (Eating Raoul's Paul Bartel) goes into the theater audience and finds a seated Hogan. The wrestler, once alerted to the problem, turns to address the Gremlins,...

Back in 2011, former WWE superstar Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne joined forces for Gnomeo & Juliet, distributed by Disney’s now-defunct Touchstone label, which currently stands on a 55% rating on the Tomatometer. Hogan, who reportedly passed away at the age of 71 (via TMZ), just days after the recent passing of Osbourne, who died on 22 July, appeared in a brief cameo alongside a star-studded cast.

Although it remains largely obscure in the realm of animation, which is reasonable given it wasn’t a mainline entry from Disney’s own-house studio, to this date, this remains Hogan’s last major Hollywood gig.

Remember When Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne Joined Forces for Disney’s Gnomeo & Juliet

While Hulk Hogan had a history of exaggerating his Hollywood run, he did end up starring in a Shakespearean remake. Like the name suggests, Gnomeo & Juliet is based on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet,...

Before Dwayne Johnson and John Cena found their way from the WWE ring to the big screen, Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan provided a case study in how wrestling stars could become movie stars. Hogan was a ubiquitous presence in movie theaters — and on TV screens — during the height of his fame in the 1980s and 1990s. He died at his home in Clearwater, Fl on July 24 at age 71.

In his later years, Hogan was better known as a reality TV star, headlining the two-season VH1 series Hogan Knows Best and appearing on its one-and-done follow-up, Brooke Knows Best. He also had cameos on comedy series ranging from The Inbetweeners to The Goldbergs.

But Hogan's movie roles remain the best examples of his outsized persona. Here's a recap of his most memorable film appearances.

Rocky III (1982)

Hogan first climbed into the movie ring with the third — and best — Rocky movie...

Celebrity news just got a little sadder this morning with news of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan’s death at age 71 years old reported.

According to TMZ Sports “Medics were dispatched to the WWE icon’s Clearwater, Florida home early Thursday morning … with operators stating it was regarding a “cardiac arrest.”

Hulk, whose legal name was Terry Bollea, came on the scene in the 80’s but his relevance endured, as he was the centerpiece of the 2024 Republican National Convention with his flair for the theatrical.

Cardiac Arrest Call for Hulk Hogan

The outlet reports that Pinellas County Fire and Ems descended upon Hogan’s home: “a slew of police cars and EMTs were parked outside Hogan’s home … and he was carried on a stretcher and into an ambulance.”

Law enforcement told TMZ that officials were on scene at 9:51 Am and Hogan was treated by Clearwater Fire & Rescue before being...

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan -- one of the most popular professional wrestlers of all time by a country mile -- has passed away at the age of 71. Hogan's contributions to sports entertainment were legendary, having been WWE's most popular babyface during its 1980s golden age before helping the company's main competitor, WCW, become a force in the '90s. That said, Hogan might never have joined WCW if his Hollywood career had taken off the way he'd planned, but it was hampered by his tendency to star in some truly bizarre projects.

After some memorable roles in "Rocky III" and "The A-Team," Hogan decided to embark on a career as a leading man. However, his success as a wrestler failed to translate to the box office, with the grappler starring in a string of flops, some of which have become infamous in "so-bad-it's--good" circles. The first of the bunch,...

Hulk Hogan was the inescapable face of wrestling in the 80s as he crossed over from being a WWE (then WWF) Superstar to a pop culture icon thanks to his larger-than-life persona and stature. People.com reports that Terry “Hulk” Hogan, whose birth name was Terry Bollea, had suffered a cardiac arrest at his home in Florida and died at the age of 71. TMZ broke the news today that medics were sent to his residence and he was carried out in a stretcher. More details are sure to be revealed as the story develops.

Hogan brought attention to professional wrestling as the 12-time world champion and is credited with inspiring generations of younger wrestlers. He transcended the profession when Sylvester Stallone cast him in Rocky III as a fictitious wrestler named “Thunderlips.” This appearance would be the earliest of Hulk Hogan’s film resume. He would go on to star in a number of movies,...

Hulk Hogan, one of the most famous wrestlers in history, has died at the age of 71. TMZ reported that Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, had a heart attack at his home in Clearwater, Florida, on Thursday. He was taken to the hospital but didn’t survive.

Hogan was more than just a wrestling star, he was a global icon. He became the face of wrestling in the 1980s, when “Hulkamania” took over TV screens and helped launch the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) into the mainstream. He was loud, flashy, and larger than life, and fans couldn’t get enough.

His career in the ring lasted from 1977 to 2012. In his early days with WWE, he was the ultimate good guy. He won the heavyweight championship six times and had some of the most memorable moments in wrestling history. One of them was when he picked up and slammed...

Hulk Hogan, one of the most famous wrestlers of all time, has died at the age of 71. According to reports, Hogan had a heart attack at his house in Clearwater, Florida, on Thursday. He was taken to the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after.

His real name was Terry Bollea, but to millions of fans around the world, he was simply Hulk Hogan. With his bandana, mustache, and big muscles, Hogan became the face of wrestling in the 1980s. He helped turn WWE (then called WWF) into a huge success and made wrestling a part of everyday American culture.

Hogan started wrestling in 1977 and kept going until 2012. He became a fan favorite early on and won the heavyweight title six times in WWE. One of his most famous moments came at WrestleMania III when he picked up and slammed Andre the Giant in front of a roaring crowd. Another...

Hulk Hogan, the wrestling legend who propelled the sport from a popular pastime to a ubiquitous pop-culture phenomenon on a wave of “Hulkamania” before becoming a right-wing hero, has died at the age of 71.

Darren Prince, Hogan’s longtime agent, confirmed the wrestler’s death to Rolling Stone. Hogan died today in Clearwater, Florida, after paramedics responded to a “cardiac arrest” call at the wrestler’s home, CNN reports. Hogan was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. In recent weeks, though, he was reportedly on his...

Word has come down from TMZ that WWE legend Hulk Hogan has passed away at the age of 71. Reports are that medics were called to the Clearwater, Florida home of Hogan early Thursday morning, with operators stating it was regarding a "cardiac arrest." He was seen being wheeled into an ambulance on a stretcher as police and EMTs surrounded the area. The news comes just days after Hogan's longtime friend and fellow WWE icon, Jimmy Hart, refuted claims that his health was failing.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, began his career in professional wrestling in the 1970s, wrestling under a number of different personas. He eventually made his way to the WWE (then WWF), appearing as a villain. He left the company after a dispute over his appearance in Rocky III to go wrestle in Japan and the Awa before returning in 1983 and giving birth to Hulkamania, winning...

He was carried out on a stretcher and into an ambulance.

Just a few weeks ago, his wife Sky denied rumors he was in a coma and said his heart was “strong” after surgery.

There were rumors in June that the WWE icon was on his “deathbed,” but TMZ had been told he was dealing with the symptoms of a neck procedure he underwent in May.

Hulk Hogan revolutionized professional wrestling, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. He was removed in 2015 amid scandal, and then inducted a second time in the WWE in 2020, as a member of Nwo.

Hulk Hogan, the blond and boisterous body-slammer who brought pro wrestling into the mainstream in the 1980s while becoming one of the most recognizable celebrities of his generation, died Thursday. He was 71.

Hogan’s death was confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter by promoter Eric Bischoff, his partner in the recently launched Real America Freestyle amateur wrestling league. TMZ reported that medical personnel were sent to his home in Clearwater, Florida, with operators stating it regarded a “cardiac arrest.”

“The Hulkster” headlined WrestleMania eight times, with perhaps his most memorable bout in the WWE’s signature event coming in 1987 against the 520-pound Andre the Giant — his mentor — in the Pontiac Silverdome before a then-record crowd of 93,173.

He won the World Wrestling Entertainment championship six times during his career.

Six-foot-7 and 320 pounds in his prime, Hogan — born Terry Bollea — would enter the ring in yellow trunks, boots and a bandana, his muscles bulging,...

Hulk Hogan, the professional wrestling legend who embodied "Hulkamania" in the 1980s and sent sports entertainment to unheard-of heights, has died. Hogan also appeared in films and TV programs over the course of his long career, and remained a mainstay in the world of professional wrestling. TMZ reports that Hogan died of heart failure this morning at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Hogan was 71.

Born Terry Gene Bollea in Augusta, Georgia, on August 11, 1953, Hogan was inspired to become a professional wrestler by "Superstar" Billy Graham. He began wrestling professionally in the late 1970s, and took on the name "Hulk Hogan" in 1979, when he was signed by Vince McMahon to wrestle for the World Wrestling Federation: Hulk, thanks to his sculpted physique, and Hogan, because McMahon wanted him to play an Irish character. Hogan was thus on the ground floor for McMahon's relentless crusade to buy up the country's scattered...

Welcome to our WWE Evolution review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Phil and this is the second Evolution PPV/Ple, with a maissive 7(!) year gap between shows! Like the 2018 eiditon, this is a huge night for the women WWE but one that was marred by the focus more on anything But this show in the lead up to the weekend’s events… Seriously, who the hell cares about Goldberg having a retirement match when This show takes place the same weekend?!?!

Match #1: Women’s Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat Match – Becky Lynch def. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The Women’s Intercontinental Title remains with Becky Lynch after she retained in an incredible Triple Threat Match against Lyra Valkyria and Bayley. The raucous Atlanta crowd roared in approval to begin the bout as all three Superstars looked to emerge victorious in the title fight.

Over the years, WWE has been working tirelessly to forge pro-wrestling in the word’s barest sense and has imparted a cinematic aura to it. When the storyline starts exhibiting a certain aspect between the superstars, the authority tends to add an element of drama by tweaking the stipulation.

Amidst the popular stipulations which has been a stern test for the WWE superstars include the likes of Hell in a Cell, Last Man Standing, I Quit, No Holds Barred, Survivor Series Elimination match, Steel Cage match, Barbed Wire Steel Cage match and the list simply goes on and on. However, adding drama and spice to the list, there are fascinating stipulations including the likes of boneyard matches, lumberjack matches and whatnot.

The Undertaker is regarded as one of the greatest WWE legends of all time. The Phenom was defined by his mystic aura, captivating presence, and exceptional in-ring acumen that made him a marquee attraction for the company for over three decades.

Another thing that highly resonated with the character of The Undertaker was his iconic WrestleMania streak. It stood for over two decades before its demise at the hands of Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX. The Streak became a highlight for many years at The Show of Shows, with top performers like Shawn Michaels, Batista, Ric Flair, and Edge attempting to end it.

Amidst those years, WWE Cco Paul “Triple H” was also among those names who challenged The Streak. However, it was the ending of one particular match between Triple H and The Undertaker that absolutely infuriated then-wwe Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.

An argument can be made for The Rock being the funniest wrestler to ever come out of WWE, whether he's trying to be or not. His recent return at Bad Blood is an example of how The Final Boss can be unintentionally hilarious. Popping up at the end of the Ple with cryptic sign language and then cutting a wacky promo backstage on Instagram Live is absolute comedic gold.

The Rock has a lot of moments like that, especially in his prime and especially when he actually tries to be funny. He's naturally funny without trying to be due to his charm, but when he starts cracking jokes at the expense of other superstars, no one is safe. Whether it be his antics during his matches or his promos themselves, The Rock never ceases to make audiences bust a gut whenever possible.

As is made clear in Netflixs Mr. McMahon documentary television miniseries, the presently retired Vince McMahon was the ultimate risk-taker. However, besides professional wrestling, McMahon has failed with virtually every other business hes invested in, including a bodybuilding league, a minor-league hockey team, a social media platform, a WWE-themed restaurant, and, most famously, the XFL.

In 1989, McMahon made his first foray into feature film-making with the 1989 action film No Holds Barred, which marked the feature starring debut of 1980s wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, whose larger-than-life persona and unparalleled charisma embodied McMahons invention of sports entertainment and enabled him to realize his vision for global dominance through the power of Hulkamania.

It may have been more than forty years since they fought each other in the ring in Rocky III, but Sylvester Stallone and Hulk Hogan have plenty of vivid memories, and lots of praise for each other. In a new Instagram post, Stallone shared a video of an interview with Hogan, recalling his experiences playing the wrestler Thunderlips for his fight scene in Rocky III. In the video, the WWE Hall of Famer voices his amazement that Stallone was able to hold his own physically in the ring, despite an obvious weight and height advantage Hogan had on him.

"He was like a buck-sixty (160) pounds, and I was like 320 pounds," Hogan says in the video. "He did everything, he did all his own stunts." The 71-year-old, who was 6' 7" at the time, admits he almost broke Stallone's collarbone with a kick, but admitted his toughness kept him in one piece,...

Sylvester Stallone and Hulk Hogan locked up in the hit sequel Rocky III. While the two had their characters fighting in a very physical scene, Stallone referred to Hogan's talents to share how he was actually taken very good care of by the WWE Hall of Famer.

In a video interview, Hogan gave high praise to Stallone for keeping up with him in filming despite their clear size difference. Hogan specifically pointed out how Stallone even hoisted him into the air, stressing about the actor's strength, "That was him!" The clip was posted on Instagram by Stallone, who shared some kind words of his own for Hogan in the caption. Stallone stressed how it only looked like he was getting hurt, thanks to Hogan's abilities.

Hulk Hogan's reality TV career initially thrived, but it quickly spiraled due to personal struggles and legal issues. Hogan's affair with his daughter's best friend contributed to the downfall of his marriage, not reality TV. Following his struggles, Laila Ali's unexpected phone call helped Hogan rethink his life choices and saved him from despair.

Despite the ups and downs, Hulk Hogan maintains a solid net worth today, in large part, thanks to a lawsuit against Gawker. In truth, following his divorce from Linda Hogan, it seemed like Hulk's financial situation was hitting a downward spiral. That matched with the end of his journey on reality TV.

His VH1 journey actually got off to a promising start. Hogan Knows Best had solid ratings, and was ahead of its time. However, after just two seasons, the show was off the air and the damage was so bad there was no turning back.

Netflix has greenlit a feature film that will star Oscar winner Cillian Murphy in a return to the iconic role of the Birmingham clan’s leader Tommy Shelby.

Tom Harper is directing the untitled film. Harper is no stranger to Peaky, having helmed the back half of Season 1.

Production is set to begin later this year from a script by Peaky creator Steven Knight. Producers are Caryn Mandabach, Knight, Murphy and Guy Heeley. Exec producers include Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren and David Mason. The feature will be made in association with BBC Film.

Those who don’t follow professional wrestling may not appreciate just how tough and grueling it is. It isn’t enough to be on the road 200+ days a year, getting dropped on your head or your back every night, dealing with injuries, losing your spot on the roster, and worse. If you’ve seen films like The Iron Claw, The Wrestler, or the old Beyond the Mat documentary, you know that professional wrestling is grind like no other.

But the other aspect that goes underappreciated is how much wrestling relies on acting. If you have any hope of making it big, it isn’t enough to be able to do a tope suicida or Texas Cloverleaf on the way to a 5-star mat classic. You have to be able to act your role, day in and day out. Often, you have to act live, in front of an audience of thousands,...

Hulk Hogan's popularity in the 1980s elevated professional wrestling to a global phenomenon through Hulkamania. The attempt to make Hulk Hogan a major film star failed miserably with poorly received films like No Holds Barred and Suburban Commando. Hogan's film career failure stands in contrast to the successful film careers of wrestlers like John Cena and Dwayne Johnson, who learned from Hogan's mistakes and exercised better creative control.

No other professional wrestling star in history has attained the level of popularity that Hulk Hogan had in the 1980s, when the bleach-blond-haired Hogan’s larger-than-life persona, rippling muscles, and unparalleled charisma catapulted wrestling from the status of regional theater to a global phenomenon through the power of Hulkamania.

While later wrestling stars like John Cena and Dwayne Johnson have delivered great performances and achieved higher performance metrics through an expanded media universe and revenue streams, no wrestler has, relative...

In what’s being billed as the Saudi leader’s “first interview with a major American news network since 2019,” Fox News announced that Bret Baier will sit down with Mohammed bin Salman for a “no holds barred” conversation.

While the names Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan have been suplexed by controversy lately, it’s impossible to ignore how popular they had made the WWE, then WWF, back in the ’80s and ’90s.

The professional wrestling industry has always provided a gateway to make the jump into Hollywood for those talented or brave enough to try, with current WWE star Sasha Banks recently becoming a firm fan favorite after showing up in season 2 of The Mandalorian as Koska Reeves. However, not everyone gets to come anywhere close to the levels of success attained by a certain Dwayne Johnson.

For instance, Dave Bautista is an established figure in the industry with a solid filmography under his belt already, but Hulk Hogan was a much bigger name in the squared circle and it would be fair to say No Holds Barred, Suburban Commando and Mr. Nanny didn’t turn him into a movie star.

Ice Cube has been paying tribute to his late Friday co-star Tommy "Tiny" Lister in a series of posts on social media. On Thursday, Tiny Lister passed away at his home in California at the age of 62. The news was very shocking and saddening for fans and colleagues of the actor, and among those who were most devastated is Cube, who had gotten to know Lister very well through their work together on two Friday movies.

"Rip Tiny 'Deebo' Lister," Cube posted on the day of Lister's passing. "America's favorite bully was a born entertainer who would pop into character at the drop of a hat terrifying people on and off camera. Followed by a big smile and laugh. Thank you for being a good dude at heart. I miss you already."

While Lister’s 6’5″ frame led to many intimidating roles, he also also had a memorable turn as President Lindberg in the sci-fi action film, The Fifth Element, and also appeared in The Dark Knight. Altogether, Lister appeared in more than 80 movies. Before acting,...

Tommy "Tiny" Lister has passed away. He was 62-years old. Lister is probably best-known for his role as Deebo in the Friday franchise, starring alongside Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. His manager, Cindy Cowan, confirmed the news of his death this evening. Cowan said he was found unconscious in his apartment in Marina del Rey, California after displaying symptoms of Covid-19 earlier in the week. He had been working on a movie and had to take a breather after feeling ill.

Cindy Cowan says, "He was a wonderful guy with a heart of gold. Everyone loved him. A real gentle giant. We're all devastated." Law enforcement says that Tommy "Tiny" Lister was dead before the paramedics could arrive on the scene. While he had Covid-19 symptoms, it has not been confirmed that that was the cause of the actor's death. Lister, who stood 6 feet, 5 inches tall, started his career in the late 1980s.

Tommy “Tiny” Lister, who appeared in “Friday” and “The Fifth Element” and was also a professional wrestler, died Thursday, his manager Cindy Cowan confirmed.

Cowan said he was found unresponsive in his apartment in Marina del Rey, Calif. after displaying symptoms of Covid-19 in recent days. He had been working on a film and had to cancel shooting after falling ill, Cowan said.

“He was a wonderful guy with a heart of gold. Everyone loved him. A real gentle giant,” she said, “We’re all devastated.”

Lister wrestled Hulk Hogan in the World Wrestling Federation after appearing as Zeus in 1989’s “No Holds Barred.” He later spent time in World Championship Wrestling, where he was billed as Z-Gangsta.

The actor, who was blind in his right eye, played the neighborhood bully Deebo in the 1995 “Friday” and appeared in the sequel “Next Friday.”

His other appearances include playing a prisoner in “The Dark Knight,...

Tommy “Tiny” Lister, the professional wrestler-turned-actor perhaps best known for his turn as the bully Deebo in the “Friday” films, passed away on Thursday, his manager confirmed. He was 62.

According to TMZ, Lister was found unconscious in his Marina Del Rey home on Thursday afternoon. He was pronounced dead on the scene and there is no word as of yet as to the cause of death.

Lister — who stood 6 feet, 5 inches tall — started his career as a wrestler before moving on to films. His early roles included “Beverly Hills Cop II,” “No Holds Barred” and the HBO football series “1st & Ten.”

After his appearance in “No Holds Barred” — which starred Hulk Hogan — he transferred the Zeus character from the film over the wrestling ring. He wrestled against Hogan as part of a tag team match at SummerSlam in 1989, where he was pinned by Hogan. His final appearance in the WWF came later that year,...

Sad news is coming in at the start of the week, as Ghost actress and Broadway star Armelia McQueen has passed away. A cause of death hasn't yet been revealed, though McQueen's friend Dorian Hannaway confirmed the performer's passing with an emotional post on Facebook. She was 68 years old.

"My dear friend Armelia crossed over yesterday," Hannaway said. "She leaves us cherishing her memory as she was one of the greatest friends you could ever have. The only thing bigger than her beautiful soul was her extraordinary talent. She gave us such joy in her many turns on the Broadway stage as well as her film and TV roles. She was brilliant in Ain't Misbehavin' and so many other shows."

Born in Southern Pines, North Carolina, McQueen moved to New York at a young age after the divorce of her parents. Graduating from high school in 1969, she majored in...

If there ever was a Bulldog’s determination to an individual, Davey certainly has it tonight as he squares off against the veteran Contra member. Davey is the initial aggressor as he downs Gotch to the canvas, but Simon forces him out of the ropeless ring. Davey leaps right back up and lock up again.
