Mika Rotunda, the niece of Barry Windham, revealed earlier this week that her uncle has after he suffered what she described as a “massive heart attack.” And now his nephew, Bray Wyatt, has broken character in a video revealing that the 62-year-old didn’t have a pulse for 10-20 minutes, and thanks the man who gave him CPR for that time period. He would then promote the $200,000 GoFundMe campaign set up for his medical bills.
For 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 numerous short runs in WWE and held the promotions tag championship twice with his brother-in-law Mike Rotunda, who is Bray Wyatt’s father.
Yet, despite so much success, he is still considered by many old-school fans as being someone that never achieved their full potential, seemingly due to switching promotions so frequently. Nevertheless, he did receive recognition when inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012 as part of the Four Horsemen alongside Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, and J. J. Dillon.
