WWE Hall of Famer Leilani Kai confirmed his passing and shared a touching tribute, remembering Horne’s kindness and infectious spirit from their time together in the WWF during the 1990s. “He was always smiling, joking around, and treating everyone with respect,” Kai wrote. “Bobby had that special warmth that reminded you wrestling isn’t just about what happens in the ring it’s about the people and the memories.”
Trained by Ivan Koloff and the Anderson brothers, Horne began wrestling in 1991 before forming the Harlem Knights with Nelson Frazier (later known as Mabel/Viscera). The duo, alongside manager Oscar, became a popular tag team in WWE as Men on a Mission. 1994 they captured the WWF Tag Team Titles during a European tour, solidifying their place in tag team history.
