Chicago Bears legend and former professional wrestler Steve McMichael was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
McMichael — who was diagnosed with ALS in 2021 — was unable to go to Canton to celebrate the honor, so the Pro Football Hall of Fame brought it to him. His Hall of Fame bust was revealed by McMichael’s family, who were with him at home. McMichael’s former teammates (some of whom are also in the Hall of Fame) joined him in honoring his achievement.
McMichael played 13 seasons with the Chicago Bears and won the Super Bowl with them in 1985. He was a two-time First Team All-Pro and a two-time Pro Bowler, among other accolades. McMichael is second in franchise history with 92.5 career sacks. He joins Mike Singletary, Dan Hampton, Richard Dent, Jim Covert, Mike Ditka, and Walter Payton as members of the 1985 Bears who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
In wrestling, McMichael had a legendary career. He was a color commentator with WCW, and he had a prominent run as a member of the Four Horsemen. He is a former WCW United States Heavyweight Champion.
