I figure people have fond memories koko as a kid. He was the sort of guy you could open a house show with to a huge pop to excite the crowd and beat a low card heel. He did a dance, Frankie flapped his wings and everyone was in a good mood to start things off. Can anyone say they felt the same when jj did his strut and waived the guitar around?

I'd like to ask TNAmecca but I think it was made invite-only recently. If it is then someone with direct access could ask them, ideally. Also, while Archive.org hasn't been able to give me anything other than the website itself without the video I was able to find the video that GlobalForceGold sent out to everyone that signed up with them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDLZGSEZOmc

bartok posted:Koko B. Ware sang Piledriver, had a parrot, and did a sick missile dropkick where he landed on his feet. Which makes him more entertaining than Jeff Jarrett ever was. Adding to this, he was one of the better parts of "If You Only Knew."

I know there's examples of wrestlers who've had bad blood with the company and gone into the HOF, wrestlers who never did poo poo in WWE who got in and wrestlers with serious substance abuse and personal life issues who have got in but I think this might be a first where one guy has all three at once. This would be like finding out they were inducting Raven.

Koko won a whole bunch of fake titles outside WWF too, like Jarrett.

[quote="“Karmine”" post="“481439217”"] Well he was a heel so that’s kinda not the point. [/quote] As someone that was defending JJ as an ok mid carder in the wcw thread this weekend. I don’t recall ever feeling any emotion towards JJ in his pre wcw Russo career. It sounds like the general conscious is no one felt that either.

If you treated Wrestling as a shoot Jeff Jarrett is a star on par with HHH. He's beaten former Olympians, has an undefeated MMA streak and has held more nationally recognised titles than the vast majority of wrestlers. And if you treat it as a work he's a budget HHH.

I want Jeff Jarrett to show up at Wrestlemania and then Samoa Joe and AJ Styles see him and run away screaming. The Raw after Mania we see them paddling a canoe towards Mexico.
