The Steve “Mongo” McMichael tribute was taped yesterday for this weekend’s Collision and was not part of the Dynamite program last night as originally thought.
Tony Schiavone hosted the tribute in the ring, where former fellow Four Horsemen members Dean Malenko and Ric Flair were brought out. McMichael’s wife, Misty, was also present for the tribute and joined them in the ring.
This was Flair’s first appearance on AEW television since the Sting retirement match at Revolution last year.
McMichael, who played for the Chicago Bears between 1981 and 1993, passed away last month at age 67 after a bout with ALS.
