We send our best wishes to WWE Hall Of Famer Koko B. Ware.

Per "The Wrestling Collection" on Twitter and Facebook, Koko is hospitalized in Mississippi. There are no further details on the hospitalization but they reported that he's there for "unspecified medical issues."

Koko B. Ware got his start in the wrestling business in the Continental Wrestling Association in 1978. He wrestled for several other promotions, including Bill Watt's UWF, but most fans would remember him from the WWF's glory days in the 1980s.

Ware was one of the most popular characters during the time. As part of his gimmick, he would walk out to the ring with his bird Frankie. During his later years with the company, he teamed with Owen Hart as part of the High Energy tag team. Ware was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2019.
