Powell’s POV: The Chicago Bears legend was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year. He started in WCW as a color commentator and then joined the Four Horsemen as a wrestler. McMichael has fought a brave battle with ALS. Here’s wishing him and his family the very best.
It’s been reported by the local Chicago news that McMichael has passed away. RIP Mongo. One of the best defensive players in Chicago Bears history & a part of the legendary 1986 Super Bowl Champions.
