Steve "Mongo" McMichael has passed away (RIP)

"As of today, Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox has recommended to the family to transfer Steve into a Joliet hospice facility this afternoon," Misty McMichael, Steve's wife, told FOX 32 Chicago. "He’s been unresponsive for last two weeks and in and out of the hospital. He’s currently in the ICU at Silver Cross."

Seems sadly he is nearing end of life

One of the truly beloved personalities with regard to Bears and as a wrestling fan as kid he played part there as well with his WCW career

Also f*** Angel Hernandez as always



Wish the HOF wouldn't have held him out until he was so sick he was unable to take part in festivities. Should have been in long before that with his 85 Bear teammates

He's been in rough shape for a while, honestly surprised he has held on as long as he has, it's crazy to see what that disease has done to him, if you didn't know better you would never believe he was ever an NFL D-lineman and pro-wrestler

I believe he was kept on medication once he was getting into the hall of fame, or else this would’ve happened earlier.

Thoughts & prayers for a smooth & peaceful ending. He was one of the greats.

Glad he finally got his flowers while still alive, even if he couldn't fully enjoy it.

RIP Mongo

I'm not really a religious man but perhaps Mongo and Reggie are having their rematch tonight.

RIP Mongo.
