Learn from a 20 year pro who has been successfull in every single major wrestling company.World Wrestling Federation
In 1986, Ware signed with the World Wrestling Federation, where he was repackaged as the fun loving “
Birdman" Koko B. Ware.He would make his entrances dancing to the ring to the tune of MorrisDay & The Time's "The Bird," flapping his arms and carrying his petmacaw “Frankie", who sat on a perch at ringside while Koko wrestled. Bright outfits, colorful sunglasses, a constant smile and his trademark vibrato voice instantly made Koko a big hit, especially with the younger crowd that the WWF mainly catered to during the 1980s.[9] Koko sung the title track of the 1987 WWF Album "Piledriver". Thesong's video featured top wrestlers of the day like Hulk Hogan and theHonky Tonk Man. Koko’s first major showcase in the WWF was at the November 29, 1986 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event where he defeated Nikolai Volkoff.[10]Unfortunately for Koko, his initial success in the big matchenvironment was not an indicator of things to come as he soon foundhimself losing repeatedly when he came up against such stars as Butch Reed, Greg Valentine, and The Big Boss Man.[11][12][13]From 1987 to 1993 Koko appeared on several WWF PPVs and SaturdayNight's Main Events being used mainly to make established or risingstars look good. At the Survivor Series in 1990, Koko became the first wrestler to fall victim to The Undertaker’s Tombstone Piledriver in the Undertaker’s debut match.In 1991 the WWF and the United States Wrestling Associationstarted a talent exchange agreement which saw Koko B. Ware return tohis old stomping grounds in Memphis (same area, different promotion).In the USWA Koko was more successful than in the WWF, winning the USWA World Title twice, once from Kamala “The Ugandan Giant" and once from USWA icon Jerry Lawler. [2] Koko also hooked up with Rex Hargrove and won the USWA Tag Team Championship once.[2] Koko B. Ware competed in the USWA until his semi-retirement in 1995.
While competing in the USWA, Koko B. Ware also got a bit of a push in the WWF; he teamed up with Owen Hart to form the high flying team known as High Energy,well known in wrestling circles for their gigantic baggy brightlycolored pants and checkered suspenders. High Energy feuded with (andgenerally lost to) The Nasty Boys, the Headshrinkers, and Money Incorporated.[14] The team made only one PPV appearance as a team, a loss to the Headshrinkers at the 1992 Survivor Series.[15] The team ended in 1993 after Owen Hart injured his knee.
After High Energy ended Koko was mainly used as a low carder until he left the WWF in 1994.
