In the summer of 1991, Earthquake had just finished a feud with [[Jake Roberts|Jake “The Snake” Roberts]] when he seemingly reignited a feud from 1990 with the massive '''Tugboat''', a fan favorite and close friend of [[Hulk Hogan]]. In a televised 6 man tag-team match where Earthquake teamed with the [[Nasty Boys]] and Tugboat teamed with [[The Bushwhackers]] Tugboat turned on his partners after a few minutes of action and joined the Earthquake in laying the two New Zealanders out cold with a big splash<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/91.htm | title = WWF Show Results 1991 | dateformat = mdy | accessdate = April 21 2007| author = Graham Cawthon | quote = (Date: May 28, 1991 Shown: June 15, 1991)Earthquake & WWF Tag Team Champions the Nasty Boys (w/ Jimmy Hart) defeated Tugboat & the Bushwhackers at 4:05 when Earthquake pinned Luke with a sit-down splash after Tugboat attacked both of his teammates; after the match, Tugboat embraced with his new friends}}</ref>. After the heel turn Tugboat changed his name to Typhoon and together they became known as “The Natural Disasters” <ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/91.htm | title = WWF Show Results 1991 | dateformat = mdy | accessdate = April 21 2007| author = Graham Cawthon | quote = (Date: May 28, 1991 Shown: June 26, 1991) The Natural Disasters (w/ Jimmy Hart) defeated Bob Abbott & Bill Sampson at 2:30 when Earthquake pinned Sampson with the sit-down splash following a regular splash from Typhoon (the debut of the Natural Disasters as a tag team)}}</ref> one of the heaviest tag-teams in the world.
 
The first order of business was the Bushwhackers, whom they made very short work of at [[SummerSlam 1991|the 1991 SummerSlam]] PPV<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/summer.html#91 | title = WWF Summer Slam Results (1991) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>. After destroying the Bushwhackers the Disasters targeted [[André the Giant]] who was at ringside on crutches due to an injury. The assault was stopped by [[the Road Warriors|the Legion of Doom]] who ran off the Natural Disasters and kicked off the Legion of Doom / Natural Disasters feud. Later in the night the Legion of Doom would go on to win the WWF World Tag-Team titles from the Nasty Boys<ref name="Titles">{{cite book | author=Royal Duncan & Gary Will | title=Wrestling Title Histories | publisher=Archeus Communications | year=4th Edition 2006 | isbn=0-9698161-5-4 }}</ref>, which meant that the Natural Disasters became first in line to get a shot at the new champions.
 
The first big profile meeting between the two teams came at the [[Survivor Series 1991|1991 Survivor Series]] where they were on opposing sides in an elimination match. Typhoon was eliminated due to a miscommunication with team member [[Mike Rotunda|Irwin R. Schyster]] followed by Earthquake walking out with him, leaving the Legion of Doom as the eventual winners<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/survivor.html#91 | title = WWF Survivor Series Results (1991) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>. From November<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/91.htm | title = WWF Show Results 1991 | dateformat = mdy | accessdate = April 21 2007| author = Graham Cawthon | quote = (Date: November 2, 1991) WWF Tag Team Champions the Legion of Doom defeated the Natural Disasters via disqualification}}</ref> to January<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/92.htm | title = WWF Show Results 1992 | dateformat = mdy | accessdate = April 21 2007| author = Graham Cawthon | quote = (Date: January 17, 1992) WWF Tag Team Champions the Legion of Doom defeated the Natural Disasters via count-out}}</ref> the Disasters challenged for the tag-team titles on the house show circuit but usually without a decisive outcome. At the [[Royal Rumble (1992)|1992 Royal Rumble]] the Disasters got their biggest opportunity so far as they received a shot at the titles. The Disasters won the match via count out but not the titles.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/rumble.html#92 | title = WWF Royal Rumble Results (1992) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>
 
=== Campeones ===
In February Natural Disasters' manager [[Jimmy Hart]] led [[Money Inc.]] ([[Ted DiBiase]] & Irwin R. Schyster) to the WWF tag-team titles as they defeated the Legion of Doom after which the L.O.D. briefly left the WWF<ref name="Titles"/>. The Natural Disasters were outraged that their manager would go behind their backs and get another team a shot at the title, the storyline explanation was that Jimmy Hart used the Disasters' guaranteed return match for Money Inc. When the Natural Disasters challenged Money Inc. they won the fan support as they fired manager Jimmy Hart. The Disasters would first get their hands on Money Inc. at [[WrestleMania VIII]] where once again the Natural Disasters would win the match but not the titles as the champions were counted out<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/mania.html#VIII | title = WWF WrestleMania Results (VIII) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>. The Disasters did not let the setback stop them as they challenged for the titles repeatedly until they won them on July 20, 1992<ref name="Titles"/>.
 
After losing the titles Money Inc. had to focus on the challenges by the Legion of Doom, which gave the Natural Disasters the opportunity to defend their newly won titles against new competition. That competition came in the form of [[The Beverly Brothers]] (managed by [[Lanny Poffo|The Genius]]), whom they defeated at [[SummerSlam 1992]]<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/summer.html#92 | title = WWF Summer Slam Results (1992) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>, the Disasters' first PPV pinfall in a year. Afterwards, the Disasters faced challenges by both the Nasty Boys and Money Inc., both managed by Jimmy Hart. In a series of events that mirrored how the Natural Disasters turned face the Nasty Boys turned on Jimmy Hart when Hart favored Money Inc. when signing title matches. The Nasty Boys turned on Hart, while Money Inc. regained the tag-team titles from the Natural Disasters in October 1992.<ref name="Titles"/> With the Nasty Boys also in the hunt for the tag-team gold the Natural Disasters were slowly phased out of the tag-team division with their last PPV outing as a team came at the [[Survivor Series 1992|1992 Survivor Series]] PPV where they were eliminated by Money Inc.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/survivor.html#91 | title = WWF Survivor Series Results (1992) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>.
 
=== Separación ===
In 1993 Earthquake and Typhoon began showing signs of dissention, most noticeably at the [[Royal Rumble (1993)|1993 Royal Rumble]] <ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/rumble.html#93 | title = WWF Royal Rumble Results (1993) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>. Typhoon was already in the ring when the Earthquake entered as #23 and he immediately went after his tag-team partner, focusing only on him until Typhoon was eliminated.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/rumble2.html#93 | title = WWF Royal Rumble Elimination Info (1993) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref> The Disasters’ feud never came to fruition as the Earthquake left the WWF very early in 1993.
 
Typhoon briefly stayed with the WWF after Earthquake left but never made anything as a singles competitor. Then, in mid-1993 he signed with WCW and made his infamous debut as '''The Shockmaster'''. He would later find himself in the WWF for a brief stay as Typhoon but again did not rise above mid card.<ref>{{cite book | author=[[RD Reynolds]] and Randy Baer | title=Wrestlecrap – the very worst of pro wrestling | publisher=ECW Press| year=2003 | isbn=1-55022-584-7 }}</ref>
 
Earthquake travelled to Japan in 1993 but made a very brief return in 1994 to engage in a “Sumo Vs Sumo” feud with [[Rodney Anoa'i|Yokozuna]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/94.htm | title = WWF Show Results 1994| dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = Graham Cawthon | quote = (April 26, 1994: Shown May 9, 1994) included Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji, & Jim Cornette as guests of the King's Court in which a challenge was given to Earthquake to face Yoko in a sumo match; featured a look at Earthquake's career as a sumo wrestler}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/94.htm | title = WWF Show Results 1994| dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = Graham Cawthon | quote = (April 26, 1994: Shown May 16, 1994) Earthquake defeated Yokozuna (w/ Mr. Fuji & Jim Cornette) in a sumo wrestling match at around the 6-minute mark after causing Yoko to fall out of the ring; the ring ropes were removed for the match }}</ref> For the few months Earthquake was in the WWF no mention of the tag-team was made. Earthquake briefly returned to the WWF in 1998 as Golga, a masked mute in the Human Oddities Stable<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/98.htm | title = WWF Show Results 1998| dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = Graham Cawthon | quote = (May 19, 1998) Golga pinned Headbanger Thrasher (the debut of the Oddities)}}</ref>.
 
In 2001 the WWF hosted a sort of reunion of the Natural Disasters as they were both involved in the Gimmick Battle Royal of [[WrestleMania X-Seven]], but Fred Ottman wrestled as Tugboat instead of Typhoon<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/mania.html#17 | title = WWF WrestleMania Results (X-Seven) | dateformat = mdy| accessdate = April 21 2007| author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>. Commentator [[Bobby Heenan]], however, did allude to their previous alliance. Also, it was Earthquake who wound up eliminating Tugboat.
