Koko B Ware to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame

He was PWI Rookie of the Year in 1979, he has held 22 titles in his career and he had his bird Frankie to accompany him along the way. It was announced last night that Koko B. Ware would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2009. I was actually quite shocked because like most people, I feel Koko never got the credit he deserved as a wrestler.

Koko was a great mid card wrestler, and was probably the best mid-card wrestler in late 80’s and early 90’s. He had away of making everyone in the ring with him look good. The one interesting thing about Koko is that he was the first person to ever take the Tombstone Piledriver from the Undertaker at Survivor Series of 1990. He also formed a tag team called High Energy with late great Owen Hart in 1992 and feuded with the Nasty Boys, Money Inc. and the Headshrinkers.

Koko B. Ware had a lot of charisma, he was a fan favorite and a legend in his own right. I am really happy to see WWE giving an underrated guy like Koko a spot in the Hall of Fame. Congratulations Koko, keep on hitting the Ghost buster.
