WWE Icon Passes Away At 58

Bobby Horne, who fans around the world knew as Sir Mo, passed away Sunday after a long battle with pneumonia and a severe blood infection. He had been hospitalized for the last eight weeks of his life, according to The Sun.

His death was announced on Facebook by Book Pro Wrestlers and retired wrestling legend Leilani Kai.

Horne made his mark in the WWE — then known as the WWF — from 1993 to 1996, teaming up with Nelson Frazier, better known as Mabel, to form Men on a Mission. The duo quickly became fan favorites with their high-energy entrances, colorful outfits, and charismatic style that lit up arenas across the country.

Their biggest career moment came in 1994, when Men on a Mission captured the WWE Tag Team Championship, cementing their place in wrestling history.

Leilani Kai, who toured with Horne in the mid-’90s, remembered him as a kindhearted soul who brought light to every locker room.

“I first met Bobby when we were both traveling with the WWF in the mid-90s,” Kai wrote. “He was always kind to me — always smiling, joking around, and treating everyone with respect.”

Kai added, “When you were new or didn’t quite fit in yet, Bobby had a way of making you feel welcome. That meant a lot back then, especially on those long road trips when being part of the locker room family mattered most.”

She continued, “We also worked together many times later on the Carolina independent circuit, and he was just as genuine outside the spotlight as he was under it. He loved the business, loved the fans, and loved giving back. Bobby had that special kind of warmth that reminded you wrestling isn’t just about what happens in the ring — it’s about the people and memories that come with it.”

“Rest in peace, my friend,” Kai concluded. “Thank you for every laugh, every kind word, and every night we shared on the road. You’ll be missed by all of us who knew you.”

Horne had long struggled with health issues and underwent a kidney transplant in 2018, according to a GoFundMe posted at the time. His wife, Denise, was by his side through every battle.

Tributes from across the wrestling world poured in Sunday night, as fans and fellow wrestlers remembered Sir Mo not just for his in-ring talent, but for his heart.
