Bobby “Mo” Horne — best known as Sir Mo in the popular 1990s WWE tag team Men on a Mission — has died at the age of 58. His passing follows a prolonged health struggle that included a blood infection, pneumonia and prior organ issues.
A Storied Career
Bobby “Mo” Horne debuted in professional wrestling in 1991 and rose to prominence when he joined WWE (then WWF) in 1993. As part of the tag team Men on a Mission alongside his partner Mabel (Nelson Frazier Jr.) and manager Oscar, he became a fan favorite thanks to their vibrant personalities and positive, fun-loving approach.
In March 1994 the duo captured the WWE Tag Team Championship — a key milestone in Horne’s career. After leaving WWE in the mid-1990s, Horne continued performing on the independent circuit and later contributed by training younger talent.
Health Struggles & Final Days
In later years, Horne faced multiple serious health challenges: he underwent a kidney transplant in 2018, battled Covid-19, and was hospitalised in 2025 with a severe blood infection and pneumonia. Despite his resilience and continued involvement in wrestling, his condition worsened and he passed away in a Texas hospital.
His death was publicly confirmed by his family and fellow wrestlers, who remembered him for his kindness, charisma and mentorship in the wrestling community.
Legacy & Impact
While the title belts and in-ring moments mark his professional legacy, many close to him emphasise Bobby Horne’s character off screen: his genuine warmth, respect for peers and dedication to the craft of wrestling. His presence helped shape the mid-90s era in WWE and his later work supporting independent wrestling extended his influence.
Tributes from fellow wrestlers recall how he made newcomers feel seen, how he turned performance into positive energy, and how his legacy goes beyond wins and losses.
