I can picture Michael Cole saying "The Tugboat is in THE HARBOR" every time Joe charges an appointment in the turnbuckles

Tugboat may have gotten further had he dressed like Samoa Joe.

Wasn't Tugboat supposed to be a Hogan opponent at a WrestleMania according to Bruce Prichard?

Picturing Samoa Joe doing his same entrance in the same gear with the same tron graphics but inexplicably using Tugboat's theme is hilarious.

Sheik Tugboat is the worst possible name for a wrestler behind maybe only Shockmaster.

And he wasn't even the best Natural Disaster. Wonder why they were allegedly so high on the guy? I hear he's a nice dude, but so was Tenta.

Samoa Boat or Tug Joe would even be better names than Sheik Tugboat.

Tug Joe wouldn't fly in the PG era, though.

I think it was the same situation as Ed Leslie always being employed - he was a Friend of Hogan IRL, so he always had job security. Tenta benefited from being Hogan's bud also, I think he pretty much got his run in WCW as The Shark / Avalanche because WCW brass would hire guys on Hogan's word for him to feud with.

Here we go - for anybody curious, the Tugster playing the evil Sultan's bodyguard in Thunder in Paradise II.
Sheik Tugboat actually existed. |

They surely would have changed his name, though. He would have been Sheik Typhoon, at least. Mildly better.

Sheik Tug-a-lug would have been a dope name. You gotta admit that.

Barring the stupid name, Tugboat being the turncoat heel would've been arguably been better than what we got with Sarge. Remember, WWF totally played up on TV that Hogan + Tugboat were friends, he was the one that helped Hulk train for his return after Earthquake took him out on the Brother Love Show & he had a series of matches with Quake while Hulk was "on the shelf". Hogan being forced to fued with his former best buddy turned evil foreigner would have made for some dramatic storytelling LOL

Tugboat wasn't the star of G.I. Joe though. People had only been familiar with him long enough to know that he was Hogan's fat fuck friend. Tugboat turning on America would have meant nothing.
