James Ware (born June 20, 1957) is a retired American professional wrestler from Union City, TN who competed from the 1970s through the start of the 21st century as Koko B. Ware. He started in the territories, working in Georgia, Mid-South, Memphis and elsewhere. He was primarily a midcarder, though he held several regional titles. He arrived in WWE in 1986, where, despite being very popular, he was pretty much stuck forever in midcard Jobber mode, including being the first-ever televised victim for The Undertaker, at Survivor Series 90. He stuck around until 1994, though WWE's interpromotional relationship with Jerry Lawler's USWA led to him defeating Kamala for the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Title, and then winning it a second time from Lawler himself. He went into semi-retirement in 1995, and eventually retired for good in 2009, being inducted in WWE's Hall of Fame in the same year.

Spiritual Successor: For every Hi-Fly style performers after him, but is worth to notice that many of his traits were inherited by a future Super Star, one who rose to win several titles and established a new way to watch entrtaining and awesome wrestling matches in the States: Rey Mysterio.

Mysterious Middle Initial/Punny Name: Really his full name was a Fun with Homophones for "Oh, oh ...beware!" due to his daring Hi-Fly stunts, but if you want to find a meaning for his middle "B"... "Birdman"... maybe?

Identity Impersonator/Played for Laughs: Koko did it twice, once while teaming with "The Killer Bees" (Impersonating "Jumping" Jim Brunzell) and once when he was trying to help prove that "The Rocket", his former Tag Team partner wasn't "The Blue Blazer" (He was). Neither time worked, the joke being that Koko; an african american, was trying to replace an evident caucasian.
