NFL Legend/Former WCW Star Steve McMichael in Intensive Care, Wife Asks for Prayers

Best wishes to NFL great and former WCW star Steve "Mongo" McMichael.

Misty McMichael noted in an Instagram post that her husband is in the hospital. He was admitted last night with Sepsis and pneumonia. She also included an image of him that asks for "Prayers For Mongo."

The legendary NFL player played most of his career with the Chicago Bears. McMichael is beloved in the city for what he did on and off the field through various charities. Wrestling fans may remember him for his appearances leading up to WrestleMania 11 where he brawled with Kama on WWE Raw during the build to the Lawrence Taylor vs. Bam Bam Bigelow match. McMichael was at ringside as part of LT's team at Mania 11.

But the part of his wrestling run that is talked about the most is when he signed with WCW as an announcer and then became part of Ric Flair's Four Horsemen faction.

McMichael has been battling ALS for years. Again, best wishes for him as he continues the fight.
