02-05-2024 • 27 mins

Step into the ring with the unforgettable Fred Ottman, the face behind the masks of Tugboat, Typhoon, and the infamous Shockmaster. Our nostalgic trip takes a hilarious turn as Fred recounts the epic fail that turned into a wrestling legend, making the Shockmaster's debut one of the most talked-about moments in the sport's history. Not only do we get the inside scoop on that fateful night, but Fred also opens up about his time in the WWF, his evolution from a Hogan ally to a heel with the Natural Disasters, and how his career faux pas became a cherished piece of wrestling folklore, complete with its own line of memorabilia.

But the laughs don't stop there. Pull up a chair as we swap road tales that could only come from the world of professional wrestling, including a chance encounter with none other than Stephen King. You'll feel like you're riding shotgun on this wild journey through the intersection of pop culture and wrestling, all the way to our guest's current life in Centerville, Tennessee. So, lace up your boots and prepare to be entertained by the man who turned a stumble into an enduring legacy.
