Velveteen refused to be shown in this picture too?:mjpls:




I remember he got mad at the black wrestling alliance guy for showing him in one of these group photos.

If Dream can't send the photo to an underage boy he's not interested :scust:


This a great thread, by the way :blessed:

I haven’t been through this thread yet, so excuse me if this has already been said, but shout out to Koko B. Ware

- 31 year wrestling career (1978 - 2009)
- Breh was 5’7 or 5’9 (Internet has both listed) 228 pounds wrestling in the big and roided up era of 1980s WWF as a regular jobber, and got over so much, he was upgraded to “jobber to the stars”.

To get over with a gimmick that I honestly think nobody else could’ve pulled off on the roster as a jobber is impressive

- Helped lay the foundation for other black wrestlers after him. We all know how :mjpls: wrestling is now, I can’t even imagine the shyt he’s seen in his day
- WWE HoF (and fukk anyone who thinks he shouldn’t be inducted, Drew Carey is in that mf)
- He could GO in the ring, and make the stars look like money

and we can’t forget Frankie (RIP) :wow:

It's a shame that Koko B. Ware became an enhancement talent in the WWF. Prior to that, he was a rising star in the territories. We could probably make the case that Koko's high-flying style made a way for the Black arial wrestlers who came after him.
Also, Koko had hands...
