In one of the most famous wrestling blunders of all time, Fred Ottman, known to the wrestling world moreover as Typhoon/Tugboat, was the mystery partner in a 4-man tag team bout scheduled for WCW's next pay-per-view, Fall Brawl: War Games.

His tag-team partners were to be Sting, Davey Boy Smith, and Dustin Rhodes vs. Psycho Sid, Big Van Vader, and the tag-team of Harlem Heat. So at Clash of the Champions 93, during Ric Flair's LIVE Flair for the Gold segment, Sting said the infamous line…

"Our partner is going to shock the world because he is none other than… The Shockmaster!"

What happened next was THE most embarrassing moment in professional wrestling. The Shockmaster crashed through the (wrong) wall, dropped his StormTrooper painted helmet, and stood there waiting for a pre-recorded tape to play over the arena's P.A. system. The whole time this is going on, Sid & Harlem Heat are trying desperately not to crack up on camera.

Soon after this incident, WCW played him off as a stumbling bafoon until he was eventually let go from WCW.
