Koko B Ware v Brooklyn Brawler (2)

[LittleMissLeared]

3:40 the M. Bison flying stomp. :D

[jbbn2011]

broken neck much?

[toucansam3]

I think this is the only time I ever saw Koko win.

[TigerUpperCut22]

3.40 dropkick from the top landin on both feet. wordclass move

[MegaHeavyD]

Was the missile dropkick Koko's finisher? I think it was but I am not sure. If anyone could tell me what his finishe was that would be great.

[Apoll0Spade]

@MegaHeavyD Who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!!...wheres the bird?

[peterp21]

@MegaHeavyD Koko's finisher was the Ghostbuster (a/k/a Birdbuster a/k/a brainbuster) you saw here. Koko was pretty strong for a little guy so he'd get the big guys up in it too. I've seen a couple of matches on YouTube where Koko finishes with the top rope dropkick followed by a splash.

[Andre72315]

@peterp21 Lmao birdbuster

[stormbridge]

i tought that was the dark match at Wrestlemania 7, because i know that the dark match was Koko B Ware vs Brooklyn Brawler. Sorry, if my english is bad.

[paintbrawler008]

the match most likely took place in 1989 because he was fired the year and didn't come back until1992. good match though!

[fivebearrugs]

Ah, it just dawned on me that even though that move is commonly known as a brainbuster (or brainbuster suplex), they couldn't call it that since the Brain Busters were in the WWF at the time...

Hmmm...does Piledriver-plex sound decent?

[coopiero1]

@fivebearrugs no it sounds terrible

[Taught77]

is that the same british guy doing the soccer commentary these days?

[billyspurr]

@Ta Lord Alfred Hayes would only be doing soccer commentaries in heaven now sadly.

[clergymen19]

Hammer vs. Rhodes would have totally been a main event ... about 10 years before this video was released.

[JaredKinter1981]

Brooklyn Brawler couldnt stand the awesome might of The Ghostbuster!

[SuperDragonICP]

RIP Frankie

[hottubbanana]

the dropkick off the rope was CRAZY. He got so high he landed on his feet... i've never seen that since. And the ghostbuster was vicious

[Joeyg50]

Awesome Brainbuster

[bluethunder25]

I wish WWE had a show like FanFavorites right now.

[pugilist26]

Dusty Rhodes vs. Greg the Hammer Valentine? Greatest Match of all-time??? That fan has pretty low standards.

[jhniscol]

ghosterbust=best brainbuster in WW and NWA history

[wowzersitssamir]

they just dont make them like koko anymore. *white power*

[QuentinDude]

koko prolly didnt get to practice the move alot cuz he was gettin his ass kicked most of the time...the only guys he ever beat were jobbers like this douche

[UrbanTiger74]

The freakin Ghostbuster was destrcutive.

[MmmmmPopTarts]

In what alternate universe is Dusty Rhodes vs Greg Valentine the greatest match of all time? That is the burning question.

[AntonBatey]

@MmmmmPopTarts

lol. Dusty Rhodes vs. Greg Valentine is right on par with Jim Duggan vs. Haku as the greatest match of all time.

[natureboy84]

Man, Koko's finisher the Ghostbuster was wicked as hell. It's a very dangerous move too. You gotta practice that on either end like 100 times.

[ilikethecoke]

Who ya gonna Call? Koko B Ware!

[Grishzog]

When Ron first showed up in the WWF, Vince McMahon (when he was still commentating) called him Ron Simmons. His reply was, "Rom Simmons? My name is Farooq Asad!"

[Realdeal232005]

yeah i remeber that

[Realdeal232005]

its sad, that Koko never got to be the star that Bobby Lasley. Ron Simmons, and Booker T were.

[whocaresnow2]

Its even sadder that Koko was actually inducted into the hall of fame.

[Realdeal232005]

agree sadder that te Von Erichs are in and majority of them took their own life

[Grishzog]

Ron Simmons? His name is Farooq Asad, dammit!

[Realdeal232005]

yes

[Realdeal232005]

Thats his real name he went by that name when he was the WCW champion

[Grishzog]

...that was called a joke.

[Lancer425]

If you want to see Koko at his best, watch the old Memphis footage. Around 82 to 86. He had the best dropkick. It would rival Steamboat's. Any wrestler you could think of. Koko was much better pre-WWE. Another match to watch, his match with Ric Flair in Memphis. This guy deserves to be in any wrestling HOF. Unfortunately, the bird is what he is known for. Another note. He started the Birdman gimmick in Memphis, and then went to Mid South with it.

[bharatsermal]

frankly speaking i dont think koko deserves to b in hall of fame

[mrblob1012]

koko b ware going into the wwe hall of fame

[QuentinDude]

WOW Koko B Ware actually WON a match this is insane this is a rare video i think this means his record is now 1-1,000,000,000,000,000!

[alexglauer]

ouch, that looked really painful (on the brainbuster).

[LouisianaMan1965]

Great victory for the birdman

[Memati7777]

I can't believe. In all these Years...Koko really win a match....

[littlekeed]

That's the first time I've ever seen Koko win.

[BRNarmy]

OMFG...thats Tony "shitty announcer" Schavonie calling the action

[Derrtyindian]

That was a sick brainbuster!! Lombardi could sell his ass off .

[dp100eboggan]

They gave this match almost 15 minutes? I'd demand my money back!

[abdulla1996]

hahahah

[keraunos4]

brawler hadn't got a finisher

[DarkRonin21]

That missle dropkick was probably better than the ones most people today do. I'd love to see some one pull a missle dropkick off then land on their feet like that.

[drumteddy]

i agree sick missle dropkick and brainbuster

[tonybless]

Growing up as a fan of this era i respect these guys so much they did there jobs which was to put the other person over what happens when you put to guys like that together you get a damn good match like this one

[manjifanhism]

Koko's Brainbuster > WWE's Brainbuster.

[porkisgood4u]

I love the finisher

[PhenomAJ]

OH MY GOD.....that was a 10.5 on the Dick Murdoch Brainbuster Scale.

and what about that missile dropkick???

[001tko]

big fart pin on koko

[pineapplehead2]

That was not a good match it was a load of shit! That is the first time I have ever seen Koko win. Ghostbuster suplex is pretty phat though!!

[DrunkassDuck]

this was actually a great match. its pretty cool koko actually won although it was jobber vs jobber but still its cool to see him win. jobber vs jobber matches are almost always better then overrated guy vs jobber.

[kinkajou777]

Much like a 1998 match between WCW tag teams Disorderly Conduct and the Villano Brothers.

[NickPatrick2]

A-Hem do not insult Villanos, Villano V just defeated Blue Panther taking his mask away against all odds...

[kinkajou777]

Don't get me wrong I like the Villanos. As a matter of fact they are one of my favorite tag teams. Let me rephrase it. WCW gave the Villanos a raw deal. In my opion they should have been main eventers, but unfortunately WCW treated them like jobbers.

[NickPatrick2]

Yes, and Turner and Bischoff neglected Villano III that's one of the BEST luchadores ever in Mexico, being very popular also without hood...

The Villanos have already two members that passed away masked, V1 & V2.

[SilverPhoenixLEK]

This was a really good match, one of the better WWF matches of that era. Both of these guys were really good at wrestling, and put on an entertaining segment. Awesome stuff

I give this *** and a 1/2 Stars.

[Gottabang82]

alfred hayes: "WOOW what a ghost-buster, my word!!!"

[ezekyo]

FUCK. Now THAT'S a Brainbuster that literally looked like he got dumped on top of his head! Awesome!

[SuperDonster]

koko had the most devistating finishing move ive ever seen. THE GHOSTBUSTER. killer

[rickker38]

I couldve beaten Koko back then.I stand 6,3 inches tall,280 pounds.I probly would of splashed Koko beware for the 1 -2 3 fart pin.

[emersonmcleod07]

maybe mcmahon didnt like the black fellas and koko was the token, he should have been champ, had the best moves and always got the crowd going. did bloody well considering he won about 2 matches in 30

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

The Ghostbuster was an awesome manuever for that time period, I mean c'mon the top guy Hulk Hogan used a guillotine Leg Drop my Mother could probably pull off! LMAO!

Nice Job Koko!

[jaymiles81]

Looks like they were really shooting in this match.

[rederick2006]

cool flying dropkick from koko

[Imadjinn]

I always thought he only ever had short matches. Sick brainbuster.

[jaymiles81]

Koko's moves were awesome. A few were bit ahead of there time.

[taekwon3000]

Koko B Ware used to have hot moves for that time. He should had been more than just a "jobber for the stars".

[Blackson187]

Little man in a big man's era.

Also his Ghostbuster rules... modern WWE brainbusters are so fuckin lame.

[jaymiles81]

I can see some of the bigger stars not wanted to lay down to the "ghostbuster".

They were probably afraid.

Just like people didnt want to take Bradshaw's clothesline.

[Kallu]

that was a great brainbuster

[afterthesirens]

Poor Brawler, the gimmick was great! You knew they had it in for him when he didn't even get theme music or even an entrance. HE was always in the ring when cameras were rolling

[McDermott170]

LMAO buck...this is the longest lombardi match Ive ever seen, the guy could actually work

[bp408]

koko was one of my favs, i loved it when he hit the Ghostbuster

[Christoffski]

could you PLEASE upload some more Koko B. Ware?? :D

it's so hard to find..

[masgirl67]

can u upload more wwf fan favorites matches & featuring

the rockers. can u upload wwf segments the rockers

[Zando24]

Just because they are jobbers doesn't mean they can't put on a good match

[DynastyDavid]

Fun match...please post more.

[buckmartinez]

Who would ever think a Brooklyn Brawler match would need to be divided into two segments?

[Zando24]

LOL

[Lannis32]

And it's a good match to boot! Will wonder ever cease.
