Former WWE Wrestling Champion Dead at 58

Bobby Horne—aka Sir Mo—died Sunday in Texas after contracting pneumonia and a blood infection.

Former WWE tag-team champion Sir Mo—real name Bobby Horne—died Sunday night aged 58. Horne’s brother, Gerald, told TMZ the ex-wrestler had spent weeks in a Texas hospital as kidney issues worsened, and doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and a blood infection. Known to fans as one-half of Men on a Mission with partner Nelson Frazier—aka Mabel and Viscera—Horne signed with WWE in 1993 and captured the tag titles during their run the following year. Horne’s health battles had mounted in the past few months as he had battled kidney issues, which lead to him being recently hospitalized. Friends and fellow wrestlers shared updates from the ICU and tributes as news of his death spread Monday. He is survived by his wife, Denise Jones, who is currently listed as the owner of SOAR Wrestling.
