On Monday morning Mika Rotunda, the niece of Barry Windham, launched a GoFundMe for her legendary uncle to raise $200,000. Windham needs this because while at Atlanta airport last Friday, the 62-year-old suffered what she described as a “massive heart attack” and, as of writing, is currently in the ICU. So far, only $2,500 has been raised towards the goal, with Cody Rhodes responsible for $1000 of that. Although the campaign only recently launched as should see that figure increase as more pro wrestlers learn of his plight.
With deep sadness I regret to inform that my uncle, WWE Hall of Famer, Barry Windham suffered a massive heart attack Friday evening. While traveling through the Atlanta airport, his darkest fear became a horrific reality as he went into cardiac arrest. He is currently in the ICU and has undergone an emergency procedure to save his life. As a family, we are impatiently waiting to hear that he will be okay. But as of now, the future is uncertain.
Mika RotundaFor those unaware, Windham is the son of Blackjack Mulligan and best known for his time in the NWA and WCW, where he was part of the Four Horsemen and held the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship in 1993. He also had multiple short runs in WWE and held the promotions tag championship twice with his brother-in-law Mike Rotunda, who is Wyatt’s father. Yet, despite so much success, he is still considered by many old-school fans as being someone that never reached their full potential, seemingly due to switching promotions so frequently. However, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012 as part of the Four Horsemen alongside Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and J. J. Dillon.
