Despite the sad circumstances, this is the Ric Flair we need to see more of. We need to see him being the legend that takes the time to look out for his brothers who aren't doing as well. If he had taken a coach role 20-25 years ago rather than kept going in the ring I think he would be known as one of the very best backstage mentors. It's obvious he takes things so personally. Wrestling is his life. He may not have known Mongo for as long as a Hogan or Savage or Piper but obvious they meant a lot to each other in the short time they worked together.

Really hope he makes it through okay. If nothing else I am glad that he made it into the Hall of Fame first, but that's kind of cold comfort.

I lost a friend to ALS a few months back and in some people, it progresses rapidly.

When you hear someone with a terminal illness developing pneumonia, it's usually bad news that follows.
Hoping the best for Mongo and the McMichael family.

I'm even more glad he was induced into the Hall of Fame this year.

This is horrible. I am really hoping he could make it to Canton if he's wanting to but it's been such a long fight for him. He's fought so hard and just got the selection. I fear he might not be able to fight any longer.
Misty seems like such an incredible woman and if Steve isn't able to go to Canton, I hope the hall shows her a great time.
And even though there's a lot of reasons to disagree with a lot of Flairs actions, it always really comforts me that he has a friend like Steve in his life and Ric is there for him as well.

Pulling for Mongo. He seems like a really decent man.

Hoping for the best for Mongo. No matter what, I'm glad he was alive to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I hope he pulls through this and is still here when the ceremony takes place this summer.

Man, it's like he held on solely to hear the news that he's going in the hall of fame. If this is it, at least he's at peace knowing that.

Always seemed like a really nice guy and i loved him as a commentator for WCW as he was so full of enthusiasm and energy with his cute dog with him. Very solid in ring worker to. Wishing Mongo and his family love.

Wishing Mongo and his family love. Underrated commentator IMO. He was the only WCW commentator who really worked well with Heenan and could bring that Gorilla energy.

ALS is f***ing terrible. I hope he gets through this and lives to see the actual induction.

My favorite non-wrestling Mongo moment.
He calls out Angel Hernandez for blowing a big play at Home, and proceeds to rib him a little bit.
Angel didn't like this, and actually got Mongo thrown out of the game. Mongo laughed it off though.

And f*** Angel Hernandez.

If there was a Warrior award not named after a jerk like Hellwig or used for WWE self serving, I'd love to see Steve and Misty get it.
