“Steve “Mongo” McMichael was one of the fiercest competitors on the field and in the ring, but outside of those worlds, all you hear about is how he is one of the most liked guys you’d ever want to meet,” said event host Conrad Thompson. “Steve’s battle with ALS has been well documented. The way he and Misty have attacked this brutal disease is nothing short of inspirational, and we want to do something special for them to help in any small way we can. No donation is too little to this cause, and in return, my wrestling friends and I hope to give viewers some great stories, some laughs, and a proper celebration of the character and person that ‘Mongo’ is.”
