WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda needs all the prayers and support from the fans, as his former tag team partner, Barry Windham, recently revealed that the veteran is in hospice right now.
Whether it was WCW, NWA, or WWE, The U.S. Express were one of the most decorated tag teams of their time in the industry. Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda dominated the tag team division across the United States during their prime. Recently, Windham broke some unfortunate news regarding Rotunda.
In an interview with Bill Apter on 1WrestlingVideo‘s YouTube channel, the multi-time tag team champion was asked about Bray Wyatt. During this, Windham refrained from answering too much about The Eater of the Worlds, as he revealed that his former tag team partner and Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt’s father, Mike Rotunda, is currently in hospice care.
“It’s kinda tough right, you know, because Mike [Rotunda] is in hospice right now. Anyway, that family, I love that family, but it’s so tragic,” Windham said.
