Former WWE Wrestler Claims Backstage Incident With Shawn Michaels Had Him Pulled From TV

Mo has some choice words about the Heartbreak Kid...

Bobby Horne (right), known to WWE fans as Mo from 1990s stable Men On A Mission, appeared on an episode of The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling to air a few grievances that accumulated throughout his career. An incident the one-time WWE Tag Team Champion had with Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels at an event in Israel was one of the main issues he covered. Mo ultimately blames the Heartbreak Kid for getting him pulled off TV for a prolonged period of time after the scuffle which, led him to becoming 'highly depressed and attempting suicide.'

"We were overseas in Israel, it was during Passover and one night we were at an event and Nelson fainted in the hallway. So since we were overseas they wouldn€™t take him to a hospital so they just took Nelson back to the hotel and we were working a program at the time against The Headshrinkers. "The agent comes to me and the agent said 'Mo you are going to work a singles match against Samu from the Headshrinkers and Fatu (Rikishi) is not going to work at all'. Fatu didn€™t like that idea, he was pissed off, he was ranting and raving about it and I€™m standing there going over the match with Samu. Shawn Michaels comes out of the shower and he hit me in the back harder then I€™ve ever been hit on the football field, he just knocked the hell out of me."
"The operative word from me was excuse-me and his response was 'f*ck excuse me, you guys have no work ethic.' He said 'you young guys come up here with no f*cking work ethic and your f*cking partner fell down in the hall way, all he had to do was get his fat ass up and walk to the ring and you do all the work and there would be a tag match tonight instead of the bullsh*t singles match.' "He thought Nelson should have sucked it up, went to the ring and stood on the side and work because the kind of tag match we worked, I take the heat anyway. So that€™s what he was pissed off about and he took it out on me. My response was being the man that I am is if you put your hands on me again, I€™m gonna beat your f*cking-ass. "Did I pay for it? Yeah, dearly. What did it get me? It got me pulled off TV for nine months and I had to travel on the road for nine months and not work. In that nine months I got highly depressed and I attempted suicide."
