Fred Alex Ottman (born August 10, 1956) is an American retired professional wrestler.
He worked for the World Wrestling Federation from 1989 to 1993 under the ring names Tugboat and Typhoon.
As the former, he played a key babyface ally of Hulk Hogan.
As the latter, he turned heel to form The Natural Disasters with Earthquake and held the WWF Tag Team Championship.In 1993, he debuted as The Shockmaster in World Championship Wrestling and immediately fell over, losing his mask on live television while his teammates broke character and laughed.
This botch hurt his career in the short term, but is now generally regarded as the worst debut in wrestling history, a notoriety he capitalized upon after his in-ring retirement.
