Fred Ottman Admitted To The Hospital

Fred Ottman (Typhoon in WWE, Shockmaster in WCW) is back in the hospital.

Ottman apologized for missing upcoming appearances. Further details on what he’s suffering from were not given.

Ottman gave the following message on Facebook:

“Unfortunately, everybody, due to things beyond my control, I was put into the hospital here, and this evening I got admitted after I was taken to the emergency room.

“But I will not be able to be there, guys. I want to apologize, and I’ll get together with the promoters that was bringing me in after I see what’s going on here with the doctors.

“But I love you all. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, and hopefully I’ll be seeing you soon. Bye.”

Ottman was in the hospital earlier this year after his gallbladder exploded. He underwent surgery in February.

Fred Ottman portrayed Typhoon, Tugboat, and the Shockmaster during his time in wrestling. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2025.
