Super Bowl champion and four horsemen Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael has ALS is declining rapidly.

ASL has to be one of the most horrible things I think someone can get. This is sad.

Sad, indeed. Hope his quality of life is as good as possible with the time he has left.

that's a terrible fucking way to die

hope debra does the right thing and lets him play with her puppies one last time,
for old time's sake.

I know its fun to make fun of Mongo but this is shitty news. I was always a fan of him and his big personality

He should wrestle Lex Luger

 

[Thad Castle v2]

That's sad

I have not heard any pro wrestler say anything bad about him they liked him as a person. Arn Anderson said Mongo came into wrestling too late as he was in his late 30’s and banged up from playing in the NFL.

Mongo gets way too much hate for his wrestling days. I loved him as a Horsemen and he knew how to get a crowd riled up.
That pic looks so sad.

Edit: Why was this moved? He was one of the main players on the 85 Bears.

It's always a sad sight seeing beasts like him just get ravaged by some disease to the point where they're unrecognizable.

ALS is no joke. Hope he finds some kind of enjoyment with whatever life he has left.

He was a terrible wrestler (which is why Benoit did the grunt work in their tag bouts), but they liked him and he was enthusiastic, rather than just being there for a Turner cheque.

unpopular opinion......he was one of the top 5 members who were in the four horsemen at some point

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

All joked about his in ring work aside, very sad to hear.

He didn't have to wrestle but did for quit some time so have to respect that.

Really sad to hear, you wouldn't wish ALS on your worst enemy.

I saw the interview he did and although it was sad, he basically said that he's glad he lived life to the fullest while he could, he never had a bucket list to do when he was old, whatever he wanted to do he did while he was young and lived a great life. Which I mean who can even argue?
