Kevin Greene, NFL Great and Former WCW Star, Dies at 58

NFL Hall of Famer Kevin Greene passed away on Monday, as confirmed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was 58-years-old. Greene’s professional career spanned 1985-97, playing for the Los Angeles Rams, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers while establishing himself as one of the most prolific pass rushers in the league’s history. Greene also dipped his toe into the professional wrestling world in the late 90s, debuting at WCW’s The Great American Bash in 1996 alongside fellow NFL player Steve “Mongo” McMichael. Mongo betrayed Greene during the match to align himself with the Four Horsemen.

Greene would wrestle four more times, including a six-man tag match against the New World Order, a grudge match with McMichael at Great American Bash 1997 and two matches with The Giant (better known as The Big Show).
