Horne began his professional wrestling career in 1991 as part of “The Harlem Knights” tag team and remained with WWE until 1996, the report said. As per the outlet, in recent years, Horne faced significant health challenges. He received a kidney transplant in 2018 and also battled a severe case of COVID-19. Though he left active competition, Horne remained connected to wrestling by operating SOAR Championship Wrestling, an independent promotion he ran with his wife since 2016, the report said.
