#28 Victim of Hulkamania running wild
First of all, let me just put this out there; I get why pro-wrestling gets such a bad rap around the world. When you have heavyset adult men like above, dressed the way they are; it's hard to take the WWE seriously.
Worse still when a guy like Tugboat really can't manage to do much in the ring. Thank god then that the 80s had Hulk Hogan, the man's charisma and flashy looks made him the perfect person to take the WWE into the stratosphere.

In 1991 Hulkamania was in full force, it was possibly the last great pure year for the Hulkster after a downward spiral that would last years before the NWO reinvention. This would be the year Hogan would challenge Iraqi sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter for the WWF World Championship at Wrestlemania.
To prime him for that victory, Hulk went wild across the Royal Rumble field by eliminating a record seven superstars. One of them is the aforementioned Tugboat, a sad relic of 80s cartoon wrestling; nothing more, nothing less.
Eliminated by Hulk Hogan.
