271. Typhoon

A big man who had few peers as powerful as he, Fred Ottman was at his best when he was Typhoon; one half of the Natural Disasters with Earthquake.  He was initially brought into the WWE as Hulk Hogan’s buddy Tugboat, but as that first run ended he slid too far down the card to have a solid program with the Hulkster (all friends of Hulk’s, especially large man would turn on Hulk at some point in time).  His heel turn was still profitable as he and Earthquake would have a good run as a team, but it was in WCW that Ottman would have his most famous moment; or rather most infamous moment.  The WCW debut of his persona, the Shockmaster remains the biggest blunder in wrestling history and is still talked about today.  Chances are, when that is your career defining moment, the Hall of Fame will elude you.
