Former WWE Tag Team Champion in Critical Condition After Hospitalization

A former WWE Tag Team Champion wrestler is currently in the intensive care unit (ICU) facing serious health complications.

WWE Hall of Famer Leilani Kai shared on Facebook that Bobby Horne, popularly known as Mo of the group Men on a Mission, is battling a blood infection and pneumonia. Kai reflected on their long friendship, which began during their years in the WWF locker room in the mid-1990s.

“I’ve known Bobby for many years—since our time in the WWF in the ’90s. We’ve worked numerous events together since then, and he’s always been the same kind, funny, and reliable individual, whether we were in locker rooms, at conventions, or on long road trips,” Kai commented.

Kai also mentioned that Horne’s wife, Denise, has been by his side throughout this difficult time and has been providing updates on his health as he continues his fight to recover.

“He’s going through a really tough time, battling a blood infection and pneumonia, and remains in the ICU.

His wife, Denise, has been by his side every step of the way and has been sharing updates on his progress as he continues to fight and shows small signs of improvement. I ask that you keep Bobby and Denise in your thoughts and prayers tonight. He’s a great man and a true friend to many of us in the wrestling world,” Kai said.

A Significant Journey in Wrestling

Bobby Horne rose to fame in the early 1990s as part of the wrestling duo Men on a Mission, alongside Mabel, who would later be known as Viscera.

This team captured the WWF Tag Team Championships during a tour of the UK in 1994, though their reign was brief, lasting only a few days.

Later, when Mabel won the King of the Ring tournament in 1995, Horne assumed the role of “Sir Mo,” becoming his tag team partner’s manager.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Horne has faced health challenges.

In 2018, he underwent a kidney transplant, which has required him to take immunosuppressant medication indefinitely.

In 2022, he received a liver transplant and suffered a severe case of COVID-19, which also resulted in a stay in the ICU.
