Koko B. Ware is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on June 20, 1957 in Union City, Tennessee, United States. The Birdman’ of the WWF who entered the ring wth a bright blue and yellow macaw. He competed professionally from 1978 to 2009.

After retiring from wrestling, he mostly stayed off the screen, with the exception of an appearance on Daniel Tosh‘s Tosh.0.

It was not until late in 1980 that Ware’s fortunes changed when he participated in a battle royal to crown the first ever Mid-American Television Champion. The crowd favorite was Jimmy Valiant, who Ware accidentally knocked into Danny Davis and eliminated. Moments later, Koko dumped Davis to the floor and won his first title. After the match, Valiant returned to the ring and beat Ware down. Ware’s feud with Valiant was quickly expanded to include the heel Tojo Yamamoto and Ware’s ally, Tommy Rich. When Dutch Mantel returned to the CWA in early 1981 he quickly defeated Ware for the TV title making Ware’s first run with the gold a short one.

Ware floundered until September 1981, when he was chosen to referee a Southern Heavyweight Championship title match between Jerry Lawler and the “Dream Machine”. Ware unfairly counted Lawler out to give the Dream Machine the victory, a decision that did not sit well with Lawler nor the fans in Memphis. Koko quickly aligned himself with manager Jimmy Hart and his First Family and changed his ring name to “Sweet Brown Sugar”. Sugar never got the best of Lawler but did taste tag-team success alongside Steve Keirn and then with Bobby Eaton. Eaton and Sugar won the AWA Southern Tag Team Championship.

He was born in Union City, Tennessee.
