Former WWE & WCW Star Fred Ottman Dealing w/ Health Issues

Posted By: Caylon Knox on Jan 12, 2018

Former WWE and WCW star Fred Ottman, better known as Tugboat, Typhoon, or the infamous Shockmaster in WCW, is reportedly suffering from some health issues.

WrestlingNews.co reportedly contacted Fred's wife and she said that she thinks he'll be okay. The problem is said to be some sort of infection in his leg, which actually kept him in the hospital for about three weeks at one point last year. It seems as though it's flared up again, but this time he went to the doctor immediately and they gave him some antibiotics for it.

Wrestling stars Lanny Poffo and Lisa Marie Varon posted the following on their respective social media accounts:
