This colorful, high-flying wrestler was a mainstay in the WWF from 1986
to 1993. He appeared at many of the WWF's major Pay-Per-View events
during this time frame, such as Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Survivor
Series, and Royal Rumble. He was mainly used as a jobber - a wrestler
who rarely wins and is mainly used to help elevate other talent.
Despite what seemed like an endless losing streak, Koko remained one of
the WWF's most popular wrestlers throughout most of his career. His
biggest match was probably at Survivor Series 1988, where he wrestled
in the main event on Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage's 5-man
team. Koko was always one of the best high-flying wrestlers in the WWF.
One of his favorite moves was a dropkick on his opponents from the top
turnbuckle. He often came to the ring with multi-colored hair, and he
was rarely seen at ringside without his pet parrot: Frankie. One of his
strongest attributes was his hard head, which his opponents usually
found out when they attempted to ram Koko's head into the top
turnbuckle, with no avail. This failed attempt to hurt Koko's head was
always picked up on by legendary wrestling commentator Gorilla Monsoon,
who would remark "(Koko's opponent) didn't do his homework". His last
year in the WWF was spent as a tag team of the late Owen Hart as the
high-flying team of High Energy.
