Former WWE Tag Team Champion Undergoes Operation for Kidney Transplant

Former WWE Tag Team Champion Mo of Men on a Mission, real name Bobby Horne has now had an operation for a kidney transplant in Texas, according to WrestlingInc.

It was on Tuesday, earlier this week, that Horne would be taken to the Medical City Hospital to receive his kidney transplant.

Writing to his Facebook page, he had the following to say on his surgery announcement:

“To all my friends, fans and family. I love you all. I just received the call. I am on my way to Medical City Hospital for a kidney transplant. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. For the record, I am scared.”

Previous to this, Horne had sent up a crowdfunding effort on Facebook in an effort to help him cover the medical costs associated with his kidney transplant.

“Hello, I am Bobby L. Horne and I am suffering from end-stage renal failure. I am Currently on the kidney transplant list in the State of Texas. This fundraiser is to cover the astronomical cost of anti-rejection medication for the first year following a transplant. I have spent the majority of my adult life helping others and more importantly our youth. Now I need your help. Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated.”
