"The Birdman" Koko B. Ware is scheduled to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame tonight by Honky Tonk Man, who has also promised to confront Ric Flair and "whip his ass". Koko was known for super high dropkicks and skull-crushing Ghostbuster finisher, but mostly he's known as the guy who came to the ring with a parrot, Frankie. Sadly, Frankie died in a house fire a few years back. According to my sources, firefighters mistook Frankie's cries for help for those of a young child and desperately searched the house for one. Koko still makes occasional indie wrestling and TV appearances with Frankie Jr.
Here's Koko B. Ware battling "Iron" Mike Sharpe, who wears a wristband of death and never stops yelling through the whole match. From a 1989 WWF Prime Time Wrestling:
The WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony will air Saturday, April 4th at 10PM EST/9PM CT on USA Network. Other inductees include "Cowboy" Bill Watts, The Funk Brothers, and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
