One of my most important and enduring professional wrestling headcanons is that Hulk Hogan's dear friend Tugboat is not a ship captain but is in fact an actual tugboat, brought to life by sinister magicks, possibly in a racist back alley ritual by the Doctor of Style Slick.
Evidence:
* Large
* Barely mobile on land
* Loud, regular TOOT call indicates arrival
* When he turned heel to join the Natural Disasters, he could have selected any natural disaster as a name but instead chose to embody a maritime one particularly dangerous to tugboats

As an aside, it's a shame Jimmy Hart managed the Natural Disasters when there was a more fitting man--with a far more dangerous natural disaster for his name--sitting right next to Bobby Heenan at the commentary table.
This helps my theory! A tugboat captain, or one with little knowledge of boating, might have gone TOOT TOOT like Arn talking about not tooting his own horn. Tugboat is actually trying to sound like a tugboat horn but his odd human mouth prevents it. https://twitter.com/DickKickley/status/1235607142096424960?s=20
