-WrestleMania III: lost to "The Natural" Butch Reed -WrestleMania IV: pinned in a six-man tag by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan -WrestleMania VI: lost to Rick Martel Despite Koko's popularity throughout the 1980s, his diminutive size worked against him in a WWF that was largely a land of looming giants. Ware's ability to connect with fans through infectious energy and charisma made it all the more disappointing when he actually did lose a match, which was often. If dark matches were permitted on the list, Ware wouldn't be ranked here. "The Birdman" went over on perennial fall guy The Brooklyn Brawler before the cameras rolled at WrestleMania VII. But ordinarily, Ware's job was similar to Snuka's: getting the next guys over, as was the case with the losses to Reed and Martel.
