Barry Windham has shared the heartbreaking news that WWE icon Mike Rotunda is currently receiving hospice care. Windham, who was a tag team partner of Rotunda in their celebrated U.S. Express days, conveyed his sorrow during an emotional interview with Bill Apter. He expressed deep concern not only for Rotunda’s health but also for his family, emphasizing the challenging times they are enduring.
Describing the situation as tragic, Windham urged fans to keep Rotunda in their thoughts and prayers. “Mike is in hospice right now — that family, I love that family, but it’s just so tragic,” he said, reflecting on his long-standing friendship with Rotunda and the shared experiences they’ve had over the years.
This news comes amidst a particularly difficult year for the Rotunda family, as they have been grieving the loss of Bray Wyatt, who tragically passed away in August 2023. The wrestling community has shown an outpouring of support, with fans speculating that Rotunda’s health challenges might also explain the absence of his son Bo Dallas from WWE programming.
Mike Rotunda’s legacy in professional wrestling is significant, known for his memorable tag team with Barry Windham and his overall contributions to the sport. The wrestling community remains united in their thoughts and prayers, demonstrating their solidarity during this trying time for the Rotunda family. As fans rally together, they hope for strength and healing for Mike Rotunda and his loved ones.
