For Koko to get into the HoF his body of work before the WWF must have been good (I haven't seen it so I'll have to look into it one day). Because all I saw was a jobber who clapped his hands all the damn time and sang too much during promos.
Still don't get why Koko is in the Hall of Fame....there are many more to be inducted before him. FINALLY Macho Man in 2012 with Mil Mascaras...& they're inducting Undertaker, which is unusual since he's still wrestling BUT deserves it. How about Bob Backlund for example & I have more. Never mind that Abdullah neveer wrestled in the WWE, it's wrestling in general. There are many more with a fancier resume than Koko that are not recognized...
@HollywoodKendrick Did I not say that I don't understand why he's in the hall of fame? He's no wrestler...as Monsoon would say, he can't tell a wristlock from a wrist watch. My opinion.....
What pisses me off about KOKO B WARE's career is if VINCE MCMAHON knew how KOKO was over with his fans, had passion for the wrestling business and respected by his peers. WHY IN THE HELL DIDNT HE GIVE HIM A RESPECTABLE PUSH that he rightfully deserved instead of glorified jobber to the stars because in my opinion HE IS'NT!!
Personally I think KOKO has more of a right to be in the WWE HOF then Abdullah the butcher or Refrigerator Perry, After watching this I never realized that Honky wasnt in the HOF
Koko seems like a really nice guy, I watched his rf video shoot and i kind of feel bad for him, but hey this guy was able to live his dream he competed at numerous wrestlemania's and was very popular in the 80's and yes he does deserve to be in the hall of fame, he sang on the pile driver album, the man has done more in his life than most of us will ever do, he even took the 1st tombstone from the undertaker, good for him!!!!!!!!
"Koko was awesome. He may have only been a jobber during his time in the wwe. But people must realize that wwe needs jobbers like koko. He is a legend and always will be. A wrestler doesn't need to win titles to be considered legends." <--- i actually agree, come to think of it, barry horowitz should be in the HOF, jtts are part of the business.
Koko was awesome. He may have only been a jobber during his time in the wwe. But people must realize that wwe needs jobbers like koko. He is a legend and always will be. A wrestler doesn't need to win titles to be considered legends. Koko had great wrestling skill and charisma. That's what made him a legend. Jake the snake roberts never won a title in his time with the wwe and he is a legend. In my mind he is one of the most underrated wrestlers ever.
He was a gr8 wrestler, but they made him a jobber. It's an honest shame they didn't treat him like the stud that he was. His original finishing move was more than good enough to make him a WWE champion and I'm not talking about his top rope drop kick. He used to do the Ghostbuster, a move that would smash opponents on their heads. He handled the role they gave him like a true professional, which is more than can be said for other wrestlers who were more about the money than the passion.
WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST SHUT UP!! SURE MACHO MAN AND JAKE AND WARRIOR AND SO ON SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME, BUT THAT'S NO REASON TO HATE ON THE BIRDMAN!!!IS THIS THE LAST HALL OF FAME INDUCTION???NOOO, LOOK HOW MUCH MORE INDUCTIONS THERE'S GOING TO BE!!!YOU DON'T HAVE TO WIN TITLE TO BE A LEGEND!!!IT'S THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO YOUR WORK, AND THE WAY YOU ENTERTAIN THE CROWD!!DO YOU THINK JAKE AND RANDY AND WARRIOR LIKE HEARING YOU TALK TRASH?? JUST SHUT UP AND WATCH THE VIDEO!!
@playboydig12 I read your points but you got to understand that the WWE H.O.F is irrelevant. It's politics at it's worst. Some of the guys in there are worthy hofamers. Yeah. But it's the guys Vince likes. Put them in becuz there deserving, not cuz Vince likes you. Where's Macho(rip), Jake, Ultimate Warrior? You dig. These guys are beyond Koko's credentials, but there not in cuz Vince has beef with them.
To you young kids who Bash on Koko has he been perfect?....no but you'll never know the feeling of seeing an ETIRE Arena cheer and do the "Bird" this man worked for years in The South...and was a trail-blazer in more ways then people know!
@dasteelers75 Obviously you've never seen footage of Koko in a packed Mid-South Coliseum (11,500) on a weekly basis. Maybe you don't know that he was the first Black challenger to Ric Flair's World title. Perhaps you're unaware that he was Bobby Eaton's first tag-team partner. I'm guessing you didn't know that he popularized the brainbuster suplex and had, at one time, the very best standing dropkick in the business. This was PRIOR to his WWF/E career. That's what I call a Hall of Fame resume.
The dude was over as fuck with the crowd even with a shit gimmick.
The guy put people over(when most other guys who were over as him would have politiced to win more matches), and ultimately without people like that working for the company you pretty much have todays WWE. 3-4 guys who draw major heat and 95% of your roster gets no reaction. Without guys like Koko the business eventually crumbles.
@ESSJ333 I understand what your saying. And I'm not a hater on Koko. I'm just saying he didn't do enough in the whole wrestling industry to merit a H.O.F induction. Your rite on Sunny and Drew Carey. That's y I say WWE'S H.O.F is a joke.
@ESSJ333 You must be related to Koko B Ware. Cuz you make no valid points on why Koko is in the hall of fame. Might as well put the Bushwackers in. I'm sorry, but no fucken way Koko is a H. O. Famer.
@dasteelers75 u acting like im vince mchamon go complain 2 him all im saying is he opened the door 4 blacks yh ok i agree he wasnt a top wrestler of his era but hey vince let sunny and drew carey in the HOF thats real pathetic
@ESSJ333 ko ko wasn't a top star but he was over as hell eveyrbody loved him but does that matter u don't have to be a top guy to be in the HOF Sunny was pretty much was the 1st "Diva" as she was all sexuality i don't drew carey in but hey its Vinces Company he can put whoever he wants in it
@ESSJ333 everybody has there own version of the HOF so its hard to tell which ones are jokes i seen HOF'S from other promotions who inducted jobbers in there its just that WWE has the biggest Star Power out of them all
How i hell in he in the hall of fame but no Savage,Jake Robert, Arn Anderson and he fucking works there. WWE HALL OF FAME IS BULLSHIT. Just ask Drew Carey when he's done walking down the celebrity wing. WTF?
The real reason Koko is in the hall of fame is because Vince is a generous man. Now when KoKo works the indy circut he can proclaim himself to be a "hall of famer' and maybe that little bit of recognition can put a few bucks in his pockets to sell out a few high school gyms.Good luck KoKo.
@Mr111989 Don't give me that bullshit. What, koko is more respected then Macho Man? I don't think so. Be a true Hall of Fame! Ron Simmons was a WCW World Champion. Y isn't he recognized.
@JerseyChileno I agree with the Honky Tonk Man statement. I think the WWE played the race card with Koko. If this bird waving idiot is in, y isn't The Natural Butch Reed in?
Umm you can put a cute little ribbon on this all you want but Koko B. Ware was nothing more than a jobber and did nothing for blacks coming into WWE. You can make it sound like he was some sort of african american pioneer of wresting but he was just a jobber.
@boywonder19994 yes he has. he's a wwe legend. koko b ware is the one who hasn't done jack shit. he did not win any titles in the wwe ever. and no memorable moments in his career. where hulk hogan has.
this gut is not an idiot u fuckin moron he is a legend in the hearts of ppl so give him him credit fir making the crowd happy even though he never won a championship
@thewolfmanchu I hate when people say "this guys in the hall of fame and Macho isn't" or "Warrior isn't"... these top superstars are having their spot reserved to highlight upcoming the hall of fames. They can't have every main-event talent be inducted at only one hall of fame.
@thewolfmanchu There's a good chance they've asked him but he declined. Bruno Samartino also refuses to have anything to do with the WWE and refuses to be inducted.
No disrespect to the Birdman, but if anyone should have gone in tho the HoF before him, it's the man who inducted him, the greatest intercontinental champion of all time, the Honky Tonk Man.
@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes Stone "I got 6 moves, drink beer, say what all the time, wear crappy t-shirts, and the best time in my career was being paired with Flyin Brian as the Hollywood Blondes" Cold Steve Austin, Austin blows, what? I said Austin blows what? Austin sucks dick, what?
ok, so this guy rates above Bruno, Lou Thesz, Karl Gotch, Billy Robinson, Giant Baba, about half a dozen of the puro greats, Judo Gene LeBell, the Road Warriors--and that's only on the guys side--we also should think about Millie Burke, June Byers, Jaguar Yokota and Bull Nakano; hell until recently I would have had to put Wendi in the list of the overlooked as well.
That was a big mistake going to the WWF if ya ask me... In the South this cat was a bad motherfu#er even in Texas he was dangerous but when he got to NewYork....Vince made him a COMEDY RELIEF!! he never won a Main Event...never!
My first wrestling event i ever went to over twenty years ago, koko went out of his way to give me a high five and pat me on the head. One of my all-time fav. One of the best entrance songs ever.
is that the original Frankie? I heard the original Frankie died in like 2003, because Koko B. Ware's house burned down and he couldn't get home in time to save him, but I'm not 100% sure if that was true. I'm really surprised the bird never flew away.
@MarcZERO1980 Koko absolutely did not abuse that bird. He loved that bird with every ounce of love that he has. Frankie died in an accidental house fire.
Some people think they know it all!! you modern-day pussies! don't know what these guys went through! how hard they worked! WWF was not the only wrestling company they were part of! Koko DESERVES his place
@Bradman77 erm yh i knew sumone would say something like that i shouldve added he was one of the people who opened the door for blacks for the simple minds like yourself
@ESSJ333 yeah your right because look at all the black wrestlers flappin their arms and being called buckwheat by ring announcers.........I'm a koko fan but him opening the doors for blacks no, koko was a crowd pleaser.
atlas,bobo,jyd and rocky johnson opened the door for champs like ron simmons, the rock and booker T.
koko opened the door for R truth,norman smiley and other ass clowns that dance around the ring
@Bradman77 You forgot high chief peter maivia genious. How could u say koko wasnt a factor in helping blacks how many blacks were in the wwf in the early 90's besides koko not many. The fact is he may not have been a big star but he was part of the few that were there. You disagree with me and 5 agree with me that says it all
@DTA550 11 people agree wit me your dumbass calls him a clown the only clown in the hall of fame is sunny. If he is a clown what he doin in the hall of fame your dumbass aint gunna achieve anything of this caliber stop hating
@ESSJ333 Get Kokos cock out off your mouth then respond. I am happy Koko can pick up some a few extra bucks but you know he does not belong in the hall of fame. And to prove it. What is his defining moment. Austin(King of the Ring Promo and war with Mcmahon) HBK(Ladder Match Ironman match) ESSJ33 (eleven people agree with me) Ok the last one doesnt count.Who in the hell past or present benefited from a man dancing around like a fool molesting a BIRD. Stick that up your ass after koko is done.
@ESSJ333 That was so lame and you actually took time to come up with THAT.This is how you diss.The next time you go praising some silly ass negro who kisses birds. WHO KISSES BIRDS GODDAMNIT. BACK IT UP....not that way you pervert.
Koko B. Ware is MORE DESERVING to be in the Hall of Fame compared to Bob Eucker, Pete Rose, William Perry, and other Celebrities that didn't contribute anything to the Wrestling Business. I can't believe People are STILL complaining about Koko being in the Hall when People should really be complaining about celebrities being in the Hall when they don't deserve to!
I've seen Koko Ware wrestle since he began in Memphis. Because of the politics of wrestling, he didn't get to grow as big as he could have but he DEFINITELY deserves to be in the Hall of Fame! Congrats!
all i can say is that hes a FUCKIN JOBBER. I CAN THINK ABOUT 20 LEGENDS THAT DESERVE THE HOF WAYYYYYYYY MORE THAN THIS GUY HE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR FEUDS OR BIG TITLES HERES A LIST OF PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE IN IT
-the rock
-joey styes(ecw mainly why)
-goldberg
-macho man randy savage
-ultimate warrior(supossed to be in 2o10 but said no at the last minute)
-owen hart(i know his wife wont let them)
since hes in they mite as add anyone who ever wrestled
@MrWaynejohn According to people with in the wwe at the time when KOKO was a huge star every place he wrestled Vince didnt like that fact that KOKO hated the way he was running the company by holding the guys that could wrestle a good match and putting people over that where just awful he didnt put KOKO over because he didnt think he had the it factor which he did
@bradleybravo Hey Vince was that way with everyone. How else could you explain someone as talented as Curt Henning losing to Hulk Hogan? Another thing you didn't see too much of was two really good wrestlers in the ring at one time. Curt Henning and Brett Hart wresting or Owen Hart against Chris Benoit; you'd never see that one. It was because Vince couldn't control the wrestling aspect; just the showmanship. Charisma isn't everything you know.
@bradleybravo Hey, charisma is fine but it's not gonna help you when you really need it. Charisma motivates people to like and to follow you but only for a little while. That's why most wrestlers are 6 months and then the boo birds. They have a great product but then they waer it down to the ground. Steve Austin had good sense along with it and that's why people still love him. He got in a the right time he stayed in at the right time and he got out at the right time.
@ultragamer97 Hey, Koko was better know as a tag team person. He was Owen's partner; need I say more? Ultimate Warrior should get in after Macho Man. (Macho Man deserves to get in but won't Because Vience holds grudges.
@Frafdo95 Hey, that wife beating thing was a gimmick. He was over protective and jealous but they never said he beat his wife in real life. The only domestic violence complaint against someone was the one she took out on Lex Lugar 2 weeks before her death. That's why the police investigeted it.
@ultragamer97 Hey, he was never a jobber. Vince didn't push any non White persons back in the 1980's or White people with actual Wrestling talent; even now except for Brett. (If you you know one non White let me know) I mean the guy had the Great Muta in the early 1990's and couldn't work with him. He had both Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko and was losing to Nitro because he doesn't understand the sport of wrestling. He doesn't even understand a good feud.
@bigrigbob2010 Hey, I looked to make sure and I never mentioned anything about Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas being or not being tag champs? What gives?
@TheMidnightBell07 I should have been specific, I was replying to your statement ". Vince didn't push any non White persons back in the 1980's ". He pushed whoever was drawing money JYD Atlas and Rocky Johnson put butt's in the seats and sold mercendice so they got pushed.
@bigrigbob2010 Hey, me too, I should have explained what I meant by push. Push is the thing that he never would give Owen Hart, especially after the Brett Heart incident. Title shots, key tv time on both wrestling programs and nationaly tv. I meant main event status and yes these men put butts in the seat but they didn't have the respect they deserved. You have a man like Johnny Ace in charge of talent while in WCW couldn't even wrestle. Stone Cold /Ring Master see what a good gimmick can do

No disrespect to the Birdman, but if anyone should have gone in tho the HoF before him, it's the man who inducted him, the greatest intercontinental champion of all time, the Honky Tonk Man.

ok, so this guy rates above Bruno, Lou Thesz, Karl Gotch, Billy Robinson, Giant Baba, about half a dozen of the puro greats, Judo Gene LeBell, the Road Warriors--and that's only on the guys side--we also should think about Millie Burke, June Byers, Jaguar Yokota and Bull Nakano; hell until recently I would have had to put Wendi in the list of the overlooked as well.

Such a wonderful moment for those of us who saw Koko Wrestle in The Old Southern Territories...and in The WWF/WWE back in the 80's/90's
I was a baby......but I remember learning "The Bird" and what memories it brings back.....
I cheered and cried as I watched this....
Koko is a wonderful Man....

is that the original Frankie? I heard the original Frankie died in like 2003, because Koko B. Ware's house burned down and he couldn't get home in time to save him, but I'm not 100% sure if that was true. I'm really surprised the bird never flew away.

Koko B. Ware is MORE DESERVING to be in the Hall of Fame compared to Bob Eucker, Pete Rose, William Perry, and other Celebrities that didn't contribute anything to the Wrestling Business.

WWE Legend - Koko B.Ware!
I am glad I got to see Koko inducted into the Hall Of Fame,I used to watch wrestling
way back in the day with my fam.
I liked and always try to imitate the"Top Rope Drop Kick" or ''Missile Drop Kick'' as
they call it now-a-days.

@MrWaynejohn According to people with in the wwe at the time when KOKO was a huge star every place he wrestled Vince didnt like that fact that KOKO hated the way he was running the company by holding the guys that could wrestle a good match and putting people over that where just awful he didnt put KOKO over because he didnt think he had the it factor which he did
bradleybravo 1 year ago
@bradleybravo Hey Vince was that way with everyone. How else could you explain someone as talented as Curt Henning losing to Hulk Hogan? Another thing you didn't see too much of was two really good wrestlers in the ring at one time. Curt Henning and Brett Hart wresting or Owen Hart against Chris Benoit; you'd never see that one. It was because Vince couldn't control the wrestling aspect; just the showmanship. Charisma isn't everything you know.
TheMidnightBell07 1 year ago
@TheMidnightBell07 True but the only reason that I brought up charisma is because thats one of the main things that vince looks for in a wrestler
bradleybravo 1 year ago
@bradleybravo Hey, charisma is fine but it's not gonna help you when you really need it. Charisma motivates people to like and to follow you but only for a little while. That's why most wrestlers are 6 months and then the boo birds. They have a great product but then they waer it down to the ground. Steve Austin had good sense along with it and that's why people still love him. He got in a the right time he stayed in at the right time and he got out at the right time.
TheMidnightBell07 1 year ago
@ultragamer97 Hey, Koko was better know as a tag team person. He was Owen's partner; need I say more? Ultimate Warrior should get in after Macho Man. (Macho Man deserves to get in but won't Because Vience holds grudges.

@Frafdo95 Hey, that wife beating thing was a gimmick. He was over protective and jealous but they never said he beat his wife in real life. The only domestic violence complaint against someone was the one she took out on Lex Lugar 2 weeks before her death. That's why the police investigeted it.
TheMidnightBell07 1 year ago
@ultragamer97 Hey, he was never a jobber. Vince didn't push any non White persons back in the 1980's or White people with actual Wrestling talent; even now except for Brett. (If you you know one non White let me know) I mean the guy had the Great Muta in the early 1990's and couldn't work with him. He had both Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko and was losing to Nitro because he doesn't understand the sport of wrestling. He doesn't even understand a good feud.
TheMidnightBell07 1 year ago 2
@TheMidnightBell07 Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
Muta was in the WCW/NWA in 89-90, not the WWF.
And Benoit & Malenko joined the WWF when WCW was almost of out business in 2000.
And, Junkyard Dog was probably the #2 or 3 face in the WWF for half of his stay with the company, behind only Hogan and maybe Andre.

TheMidnightBell07 1 year ago
@TheMidnightBell07 I should have been specific, I was replying to your statement ". Vince didn't push any non White persons back in the 1980's ". He pushed whoever was drawing money JYD Atlas and Rocky Johnson put butt's in the seats and sold mercendice so they got pushed.
bigrigbob2010 1 year ago
@bigrigbob2010 Hey, me too, I should have explained what I meant by push. Push is the thing that he never would give Owen Hart, especially after the Brett Heart incident. Title shots, key tv time on both wrestling programs and nationaly tv. I meant main event status and yes these men put butts in the seat but they didn't have the respect they deserved. You have a man like Johnny Ace in charge of talent while in WCW couldn't even wrestle. Stone Cold /Ring Master see what a good gimmick can do
