Earlier this year, Mike Rotunda, also known to wrestling fans as Irwin R. Schyster and Michael Wallstreet, experienced the worst heartache any parent can have when his son Bray Wyatt tragically died. And now, during an interview with the Wrasslin Talk Podcast, the former WWE star has revealed at the time, he was still mourning the loss of his mother, who died just two weeks earlier.
“It’s hard, I don’t think we’re ever going to get over this. It’s very hard, and the worst part about it, too, I can’t wait until this year finishes because I was in up in New York, my mom had a stroke when she was 86 years old. I spent three months going to a nursing home every day. My sister and myself watched her take her last breath. My wife flew up, and Windham, actually, Windham… came up and visited with my mom for a few days. So we lost my mom, and two weeks later, we lost Windham.”
Mike RotundaThe Rotunda family is fully connected to the wrestling business, with Mike marrying the daughter of Blackjack Mulligan and the sister of Barry and Kendall Windham. Additionally, both his sons became pro wrestlers, with them having memorable careers in WWE. Therefore, when 36-year-old Wyatt suddenly passed away, the whole industry grieved for the family, with The Rock going as far as to provide groceries.
