It's with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Bobby 'Mo' Horne, a beloved figure in the world of professional wrestling, at the age of **58.** The wrestling community, and fans worldwide, are mourning the loss of a man who brought joy and camaraderie to the squared circle.
The news was broken by fellow WWE alum Leilani Kai on Facebook, who shared a touching tribute to Horne. She recalled their time together in the mid-90s, highlighting his kindness, warmth, and ability to make everyone feel welcome, especially newcomers. Kai emphasized the importance of the 'locker room family' during those long road trips, and how Horne's genuine nature extended beyond the spotlight. He was known for his love of the wrestling business, the fans, and giving back.
But here's where it gets controversial... Kai also mentioned that Horne was in the ICU in October 2023 due to multiple health issues, including a blood infection and pneumonia. She requested fans to keep Horne and his wife, Denise, in their prayers.
Horne's legacy is most notably tied to his role as 'Mo' in the rapping babyface group, Men on a Mission, which debuted in the early 1990s. In 1994, Mo and Mabel achieved a significant milestone by capturing the WWF Tag Team Championships during a UK tour, though they later lost the titles. The following year, in 1995, Mo adopted the persona of 'Sir Mo' after Mabel won the King of the Ring tournament.
And this is the part most people miss... Horne's impact extended beyond his in-ring performances. He was a person who valued the connections made with fans and fellow wrestlers. His passing serves as a reminder that wrestling is about more than just what happens in the ring—it's about the people and the memories created along the way.
We at SEScoops extend our deepest condolences to Horne's family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.
