Fred Ottman

Fred Alex Ottman, born on August 10, 1958, is a retired American professional wrestler. He is best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) from 1989 to 1993 under the ring names Tugboat and Typhoon. Ottman played a significant role as a babyface ally of Hulk Hogan during his tenure as Tugboat and later turned heel to form The Natural Disasters tag team with Earthquake, holding the WWF Tag Team Championship. In 1993, he had a memorable but unfortunate debut in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as The Shockmaster, where he fell over and lost his mask on live television. Despite this setback, Ottman was able to leverage the notoriety gained from the incident after his retirement from in-ring competition.More
