In a post on X, Hall of Famer Arn Anderson paid tribute to fellow Four Horseman Steve “Mongo” McMichael, who passed away yesterday at the age of 67 after a long bout with ALS.
“Today, the world is less one hell of a man. A beast on the football field and, as everyone in Chicago knows, a real man’s man,” Anderson wrote.
He said that McMichael walked into their world with little or no formal training and being a god in his world didn’t necessarily translate to success in wrestling.
“When we made him a Horseman, we found out right away you would never want to meet him in a dark alley if he had ill intentions. But no better guy to go to war with as we found out on many occasions,” Anderson continued.
Anderson thanked McMichael’s family for sharing him with them, even if it was for a short period of time.
“To Mongo, nothing but love and respect. I am honored to have known you. Side note to God: You’re gonna have your hands full with this one!”
