WWE today announced that The Natural Disasters – the team of
Earthquake and Typhoon – will be inducted into the WWE Hall
of Fame class of 2025.
Formed in 1991 by Jimmy Hart, the two dominated the tag team
scene in WWF and had memorable feuds with the likes of The
Legion of Doom, The Nasty Boys, Money Inc., and others. The
team dismantled in 1993 and shortly after their break-up,
Earthquake left WWE and Typhoon also left afterward.
They won the WWF Tag Team titles once during their run,
winning them from Money Inc., in 1992, but losing them back
to DiBiase and IRS just 84 days later.
“A larger-than-life pairing that changed the game regarding
tag team wrestling, The Natural Disasters will be remembered
forever for their collective destruction and indomitable
fighting spirit as they take their place in the WWE Hall of
Fame as members of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025,” the
WWE.COM announcement said.
Typhoon, who also worked as Tug Boat, is 68 years old and is
the uncle of Cody and Dusty Rhodes. His son, Berkley, works
for WWE as a timekeeper. Earthquake passed away in 2006 at
the age of 42 from bladder cancer.
