Its sad how bad WWE has gotten over the years. There should be another time slot airing all old late 80's, early 90's wrestling matches. Atleast fans today will see how much better it was then, than it is now.
I still wonder to this day, what Vince was thinking. We have this massive power wrestler. So what shall we do? Uhhh, let's name him Tugboat Thomas and have him come from Norfolk. (rolls eyes)
Kind of like the "Captain Mike" Rotunda angle, if I may quote R.D. Reynolds: "So the Captain Mike angle didn't go over at all. Probably because most people who tune in for pro wrestling just don't do a lot of yachting."
he was known in a dark match in june 1989 as big man steele managed by slick that never aired or did promos happen it's even read on the 2009 complete WWE Encyclopedia what if tugboat had that gimmick & teamed with the twin towers akeem & The bossman througout 1989 against demolition & Dusty who they primarly feuded with through out 1989
@THES3XYMAN101 he was a big man in the late 80's...they tried to match him against Earthquake (john tenta) they ended up teaming up and became the natural disasters
This theme sounds poopy. And by that I mean it sounds like someone is having some MAJOR intestinal problems (the same could be said about Repo Man's theme XD).
@sandinyourshoes: i remember that it was in the middle of a 6 man tag match on superstars of wrestling several weeks before summerslam '91...he started attacking his own partners, then teamed up with earthquake's team....
@domirules28, I believe he "turned to the Dark Side" after he attacked one or both of the Bushwackers. It was so devious, too. The look on his face told it all. I cannot recall if the Tugster ever returned to being Babyfaced. Some guys never reverted.
true that. maybe a deeper horn wouldnt have ruioned it as much.... i feel bad at wrestlemania 18 he got no pop and the guy after him got a nice one... i forget who it was tho
lol of course u did, u were younger than i was when tugboat showed up. i liked him too and every good guy back then, except doink, i'd change the channel when he came on with his stupid ass midgets. he was sooooo much better heel. hell, i liked all the bad guys too. how many little kids could say that.
Finally someone who agrees with me. He was obnoxius. I couldn't stand anyone in the mid 90s, but I loved the early 90s (90-91).
I couldn't stand the fact when they replaced faces like Hogan, Tugboat, Bossman, and Jake Roberts, with lame asses like Doink, Tatanka, Lex Luger, and the 123 kid (omg that was such a fucking stupid name).
This is what I want to see & hear.
