When Was Steve McMichael In WCW?

Before entering the wild world of professional wrestling, McMichael starred in the NFL between 1980 and 1994, winning the Super Bowl with the Chicago Bears in 1985.

After calling time on his career, the former defensive tackle took his first steps into pro wrestling with the WWF before signing with WCW in 1995.
