There is absolutely no lying in the way Mongo speaks. One of the most honest people you'll ever hear. Fight hard Mongo. We'll never stop cheering for you.
You don't "fight" ALS. It does what it does. Very sad to see this.

You live yes but the commentator was saying is ALS is going do/run it course and NO way of stopping it til you die.
16For God so loved the world, than he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shouldidea not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."-John 3:16-17
"9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."-2 Peter 3:9-10
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."-Romans 10:9-10
"51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."-1 Corinthians 15:51-53
"13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words."-1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
I met Mongo once in a bar in Woodstock, IL.
He had a drink with me and talked with me for 10 minutes in between his duties at the appearance.
When I asked him about his Super Bowl ring, without hesitation he removed it and handed it to me. Like he’s done that 1,000,000 times, because he had.
This is a man who was exactly who is, always. No BS.
God bless you Steve. You really did hit this life fully.
Steve’s soul is still the same even if his body is failing him. He’s always had a larger than life personality.
None of is will ever be the athelete you were. None evan in our dreams. God bless steve. I hope this is the time to find a healing for this lou gerig disease.
When he passes on he will be other bears greats gale sayers Walter Payton George halas

Yeah, I couldn't help but smile when he said "this will sneak up on you like a cheap-shot Green Bay Packer".
I wish him as best is possible, my father died of ALS and it is the cruelest of diseases. Enjoy every minute folks, nothing is promised on this Earth.
Couldn’t agree more. Everyone saving up for a rainy day may never see it or have the strength to enjoy it
We are all we have.
He’s amazing. Cutting onions right now. This guy lived. No regrets. Wow.

I know bro! I watched WCW faithfully back in the day...I don't even have words! Life is...
Such a sad story but I am glad he still has a positive outlook and is happy with what he has accomplished and the family he has around him. At the end of the day, that is what matters most.
Yeah his attitude is admirable. Well said
Hi everyone, my dad was diagnosed with Nurion motor Als disease and they told us there is no cure for it. But I want to thank Dr Ifa who reversed my dad Als with his herbal medicine treatment and I will continue to testify about treating him and God will bless you more.

@@jdsmo yup, but when he said he looks in the mirror and remembers how he use to look in his prime. It hit home. I think we all do that even if we are still in our prime. Aging sucks but we don't see it as fast on ourselves as we do on other people since we look at ourselves every single day.
i saw him wrestle in person

"It's running the bases on me." ALS has not robbed him of his sense of humor.
Please never take down this video. I'm gonna play it 1,000,000 times when I feel like giving up on something! Mongo I'm praying for your comfort during these rough times!!!!!
Me too.I will refer to this video every time I start to feel sorry for myself...
Absolutely!!
This so hard to watch. This guy was a monster on the football field. Plus his time in WCW was fun to watch. But, he's a man's man even now. He said it best, it's the journey, not the destination. Plus, he's got an angel by his side and she's a beautiful soul. God Bless you, Mongo.
Woah, What?? I watched him on WCW......had no idea he was going trough this.....damn....

His mother was an English teacher at my high school...always bragged about how great a son she raised.
Two great women in Mongo's life: His mom, she had every right to brag; and his wife, you can see her love.

His story telling brings EVERYONE JOY!!! I hope he lives to be 100!!!

A person's life can be measured by the amount of joy and inspiration they have selflessly brought to others. Mongo will always be loved.

Good words - sounds like you're on track. Heaven is not a destination - we can be living it NOW!
A true warrior with no regrets. Still has a Mongo sense of humor.
Die hard Packer fan, i'm so sorry to hear you have this terrible disease. You were a key player on the greatest defense to ever be assembled in NFL history. I was honored to watch you play. I taught my son about Da Bears.
Hope you have done the deed to get into those pearly gates you spoke of. God's speed.
Thanks Michael. Ur a good man .
there are no deeds you can do to get there, Christ did it all at calvary, just put your trust in his sacrifice for you.
@@michaelf6705 the 10 commandments are some of the deeds you can do to get in those pearly gates....... just for starters.
@@michaelgerard2371 no your wrong, it is written all have sinned and come short, so you need a savior and only way is the blood of jesus not by works
@@michaelf6705 that's YOUR interpretation.....I see YOU have some DEEDS to do, by you judging me.....
Mongo was part of the greatest defense ever, and he went on to become one of the Four Horsemen. A man's man. This disease took one of my good friends a couple years ago, so I saw first hand what it does. Prayers to Mongo.
Killed me when he said, "i used to be superman" felt like he briefly looked in the past
When this man was talking, he was speaking the truth...🙏🏾. I can’t even imagine what was going thru this man’s mind when all this was happening to him at that moment...
Yeah a lot of the young feel that way though then you get old and can barely walk around if even that.
He's got a very good attitude considering, and he's got his lovely family supporting him all the way. God bless.
Just sad especially when he said he use to be Superman and can't look at himself in the mirror. Painfully honest. Prayers.
Aww man, I had no idea Mongo has ALS. I remember walking past him at a convention in 2018. I was wearing my McMahon Vikings jersey for signing. I threw up the 4 Horseman sign and asked McMichael to throw it up and he said "YOU WEARIN THE WRONG JERSEY, MY MAN!" I'll be praying for his soul. A man's man.
Such a wonderful thing to see that in the face of such adversity, Mongo is still the same guy I remember from back in the day. Such a strong, larger than life personality with relentless humor. One of those guys that you don’t have to meet to know he’s a genuine soul the minute he utters a sentence. You have my everlasting respect Mongo. Give ‘em hell.
I'm glad to have been ALLOWED to meet Steve. He's precious 🙋🏽♀️
I am truly heartbroken I love this man. My father who died at 57 years old from lung cancer looked close to him . I pray for you sir and I am so sorry.
Painful to watch. I wish Steve and his family the best. If anyone can pull through, it's him.
He'd be the first.

KVH can ball he can shoot
To the McMichaels: You're not alone. You can't see us or know us, but we're here. Celebrate the joy and happiness. We'll huddle in heaven. See you soon.
He seems so real. Loved him as a player, love him more as a person. He has the heart of a lion. I will be praying for him and his family.
As a Vikings fan. This really makes me sad. Much respect for the player you were and the man you are!!!
Die hard Packers fan here . That team was probably best that ever played . Sad to see these guys all beat up . Good article prayers Mongo
Can’t bring myself to watch. Was a fan when he played ball, enjoyed his time in WCW, and respect him always being a man’s man. Just wanted to extend my prayers to him and his family and loved ones. Praying for peace and strength through the struggles to come.
"This will sneak up on you as a cheap shot Green Bay Packer". Love you Steve, praying for you
I remember him and Goldberg going at it back in the day . Now this! Damn , prayers brother .
Love the cheap shot Packer comment. It warms my heart to know he carries his loyalties and brilliant career with him into the upcoming challenges.
STILL SALTY BRO 😂 CHARLES MARTIN FOREVER ✊😃
I'm a life long Bears fan and I must admit I don't think I would have realized this was Mongo without the video title, WOW. I remember when Payton announced his cancer. I was sitting down reading a newspaper and looked up at the TV. It was on WGN and I saw something like Payton announces health issue or something like that. So I'm watching for a couple minutes a few people are talking and all of a sudden I realize how one person is talking and answering questions it's Payton, I didn't recognize him at all, I didn't see the beginning of the conference so I didn't see them introduce Walter. What the disease did to his body. Steve best of wishes, you were a joy to watch destroy offenses with the rest of that line Dan, Richard, William on what I still believe was the best defense ever for a single year.
This reminds me of Dwight Clark's battle with ALS. It was very very sad as a 9ers fan. Good luck to you sir, you are one of a kind. Condolences to Bears fans all over and all those who knew and loved him.
Dwight went out with class. Wish he was with us a little longer. Hope Steve will continue to have good days. Good to see that he's well loved.
As a Who Dat, I have watched Steve Gleason's battle, and I can only think.. wow how brave and the strength he and his wife have for this.....
This a shame that concussions lead to this, instead the NFL is too focused on culture issues, this should be their only focus.
Cheap Shot Green Bay Packer. Love it. A Bear thru and thru. No doubt you are in the prayers of millions of Bear fans.
He’s such a good man, still has his great humor, and he’s so wise. it’s so sad to see him so sick. I pray for him and his family. What a great man he is and so blessed to have a great wife 💕
Brother, I have watched my wife suffer from Multiple Sclerosis for the last 5 years. These things are different for everybody, but we understand what kind of journey you're going through. Know this, you are not alone in this fight. Pulling for you !
Spent a night with Mongo at his restaurant a few years back. He was the most genuine, intelligent guy who was so giving of his time and loved sharing old stories. One of the Bear greats and a great guy as well.
Lost my friend of 30 years last year, to ALS. Love you, Mongo! And thanks so much for your bravery, and skill on the field!
Never been a big sports fan. I remember his contributions to charities. Larger than life.
Peace be with you my friend.
Anyone who lived in chicago during this time, can look back and say," Thank God I was able to live through that period". It was a time I'll never forget. Thanks to all the Bears, and fans. Time of our lives.👍
They were a incredible phenom and unfortunately crushed us in the super bowl, patriot fan. There has not been a team since with a defense and personality like the 85 bears
Amen
He was bigger then life i wish him and his family nothing but the best.
He has gotten so tiny I'm glad he has got a kind woman to stand by him
He still has a good attitude. Nothing can fear this man. What a warrior.
Met Mr. McMicheals at Lake Forest Oasis. He was kind enough to give me and the guys working up there 15-20 minutes of his precious time. We were laughing at the amount of lottery tickets he had in his hand. We talked a lil football and a lil wrestling. Gave us all some great laughs. Don't worry Steve, Mongo! Your going to the PEARLY GATES! Thank you!
I saw him from mere feet away at Lambeau when he played for the Packers he was a massive man. This made me so sad I feel for him and his family ❤️ Good to see he still has a sense of humor such a good guy Chicago loves him.
Damn..I had no idea..we love you Steve
Best guy I’ve met!! He actually made a great impact on me on the day my passed away. It was the worst day of my life and he lifted my spirits!!! He let me wear his Super Bowl ring around the bar and had not a problem with it! (He also said if I take off he would catch me)! I wish I could talk to him again and let him know how much that meant to me. I am forever greatful for his guidance on helping me and I will pray for this AWESOME MAN!!!
Love that guy....prayers for Mongo and Family...
Just today's example of why you need to live as much as possible when you can because it will be over and gone before you know it.
You're an 85 Bears original Mongo, that makes you immortal sir!!! Better than any Hall of fame. You're drawl alone makes you a one of a kind to all those who were blessed enough to have witnessed the best football team ever. Know that you are loved my man!!!
Very true but he also said I will pay the price so yeah your he was tough and bad but u do pay the price very very sad
You got my prayers, you were my football hero and i model myself after you, there's a spot in heaven for you. Thanks for the memories.
Man. I didn't even know this happened to Mongo. He was always a beast and I guarantee he'll go out fighting. Prayers!
He was a great guy an excellent player enjoyed watching him play god bless you sir
The journey baby is the reward not the destination. God bless you!! Prayers up
I know they always say you never know how you are going to react somethung like but IDK, I think I can confidently say that I would be a crying sobbing mess. This guy is a man if I've ever seen one.
What a great sense of humor. Stay strong sir. We need medical breakthroughs on ALS fast. There needs to be a lot more research and spending on this
We need medical breakthroughs on a lot of terrible neurological disorders and diseases.
Research is progressing....northwestern in Chicago
@@gia686 really, what are they doing?
Mongo, you will forever be loved now and forever when your gone. We will never forget what you have done for the city of chicago. Prayers forever
Interviewer did a good job...:he just let Steve talk
I always wondered what happened to Mongo, the last I saw him he was a four Horsemen with Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Chris Benoit.
So Sad. Mongo was not just great as one of Da Bears, but he was also a member of the Four Horsemen in WCW. I wish Mongo and his family the best. We are all here for you. Godspeed.
I grew up a Lions fan, but had mad respect for some of the Bears players. I've lived in Chicagoland for the past 20 years and Mongo is one of the great Bears players and a one of a kind personality. So sad that this is happening to him and other NFL players.
My heart breaks for Steve McMichael. He was such a great defensive player for the Chicago Bears and is such a nice guy.
The irony is I have never seen Steve smile this much. He seems to be at totally at piece with himself and the life he led.
He still has his same sense of humor despite what he's going through.
I noticed that right away too, made the same comment.
@@joespitler3929 Michael J Fox is the same

@@danacole2451 You make as much sense as your diction.
Gonna be praying for you Mongo. Thankful that your lovely wife is there as your guardian angel.
You will always be a legend and nothing can ever change that! You are beloved over especially in CHICAGO! We love you King! Keep fighting!👑😎💪🏾💪🏾🖤🙏🏿
God bless you Steve McMichael. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
LOVE HIS CANDOR. GOD BLESS MONGO.
I was just watching some WCW dvds and the battles with the Horsemen and NWO was awesome. Mongo was huge! Prayers for his family
I'll never forget the time Mongo was being interviewed on the news about an upcoming game, maybe Green Bay, and he said something to the effect of "we got something special planned for them", popped open a switchblade and started picking his teeth with it.
Prayers for Mongo. I can relate as on May 5, 2005, my cousin was diagnosed with this. She left us on December 27, 2007. But she fought hard and I know that Mongo will too. We're behind you, Mongo.
I had no idea. I’m a die hard Bears fan. McMichael was always one of my favs. This breaks my heart to see a man like Mongo have to go through this
What a strong man. Hurts to see him like this....football being my least favorite sport Mongo was a big part of my childhood when he was in WCW. Godspeed legend
One word “inspiring”
I have nothing but respect for this man. Mike Singletary said that Steve threw a desk across the meeting room after Buddy Ryan told the defensive players he was leaving the Bears for the Eagles the night before Super Bowl XX. That 1985 Bears defense was one of the greatest of all time. Best Wishes to him
What a great sense of humor; but he can offer so much hope to so many other people by his positive approach and his willingness to speak out. God Bless you thank you for your honesty and the joy you bought to all Bears fans.
Seeing a MONSTER OF THE MIDWAY in this condition is truly heartbreaking #TEAMMONGO
Steve,
Thank you for all the memories! God bless you Brother!!
Wow was never a fan of him when he wrestled. But this hurts 😭 God bless you brother may god bless you at the pearly gates.
I've lost someone to ALS. There is this book called "Tuesdays with Morrie." The author describes it as being a candle with a lit wick.
Also have a brother with ALS. Read the book too. Recommended by my sister. Suggest anyone interested in ALS read it too.
I remember reading "Tuesdays with Morrie." People can be wonderful or they can just be nearly heartless. You don't know what you're going to get.
Anybody with a great person in their life's go home today and hug them until they can't breathe LOL
I remember him from Wcw. He entertaining to watch. Prayers for him.
Thats a good woman hes got in sickness and in health thats what its all about
This is so sad. Still no cure for these dreaded diseases. God give him and his family strength.
"Seek, and ye shall find."
Huddle up. Prayers up.
God bless.
He asked for prayers for his salvation and he just got them. Thanks for the fun, Steve! I hope you find heaven as great as they say it is in the brochure. 👍
A beautiful statement Steve, I will pray with you.
As a Packers fan, I now do respect that Bears team from the '80's so damn much. It's sad to see someone who was that big and that strong being weakened by such a nasty condition.
Man I wish this guy the best ! He's a Chicago Legend and will always think of him ! ..
This is the first I've heard about this,very sad use to love watching him play football.
Thanks for your story. I love stories about Married Couples. My Husband has Parkinsons. Just love each other through each step. Steve, I heard you, I am praying for you to enter the Pearly Gates. Your story today helped me tremendously.
McMichael, Hampton, The Refrigerator, Singletary, Duerson, McMahon, Covert, Payton, Dent, Fencik, Hilgenberg, Gault, Marshall, Wilson, Bortz, Van Horne, Butler, Ditka, Ryan...
Come And Get Some.
Greatest Team of All Time.
This is just heartbreaking.
I watched him in wcw as a part of the Four Horsemen. While he wasn't my favorite, because of Ric(lol), but he was a great member and a great talker. I stg, I've been watching old wcw nitro videos, before I even found this out, and was telling my cousin a couple weeks ago how he was an underrated wrestler. He said the same thing. This breaks my heart, tho, and I feel my childhood slowly, but quickly fade away. Lord be with you, Mongo... We ALL love you
