64-Year-Old WWE Legend and 80s Pop Culture Icon Hospitalized Mere Days Before Christmas Under Mysterious Circumstances

2022 has not been a great year for the wrestling industry, as it lost some of its pioneers who formed today’s wrestling. Antonio Inoki, the former head of NJPW and Scott Hall, the original member of nWo and Shawn Michaels’ rival are just two examples.

But this month more and more tragic news is arriving one after another. Just a few days ago, we covered the news of Dustin Rhodes, Goldust, urging people to pray for his mother. Now, there is another WWE Hall of Famer who needs all the prayers that he can get.

Currently, the WWE Hall of Famer Koko B. Ware is in hospital fighting an unknown medical issue. We hope for his full recovery and hope to hear the news of his recovery soon.

The man was a constant during the shift from the Golden era to the New Generation era of WWE. Evidently, his first match was alongside the Hart Brothers in a six-man tag team match.

One of the most recognizable features of his character was singing his own theme song. Coupled with his dancing and the macaw, Frankie, on his arm, Koko quickly became a fan favorite. This made him an iconic pop culture moment in the ’80s.

One of his defining moments was that he was the first man to take The Undertaker’s Tombstone Piledriver. He even wrestled at WrestleMania III.

WWE inducted him into the Hall of Fame in 2009 alongside WWE legends like Stone Cold and Ricky Steamboat.

Fans and wrestlers come together to pray for this WWE Hall of Famer’s full recovery

When the news about Koko B. Ware’s hospitalization spread through, fans and wrestlers came together to pray for the WWE Hall of Famer’s health. But we still don’t have any clue about what happened to Frankie’s best friend.

The million-dollar man himself tweeted about his friend’s safe being and prayed for his full recovery.

Lex Luger is another one of the fellow wrestlers from Koko’s generation who wrestled the guy multiple times. It’s nice to see someone like Luger, who was at the top of the card, remembering his friend.

His Frankie was one of the most attractive entertainments in the entire show, which brought fans much-needed relief from hard-hitting wrestling.

We hope that Koko makes it through this difficult time.
