The daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda clarified her father’s health status after Barry Windham said his former teammate was in hospice care.
Mika Rotunda wrote in a social media post that Windham accidentally made a mistake.
“My father is not in hospice, but in a rehabilitation center,” she wrote on Instagram. “He suffered a massive heart attack on September 20, was in a coma for a week, and spent over a month hospitalized.

Anyone who knows my dad knows that it’s his strength, his work ethic, and his athleticism that has gotten him through not only this, but every challenge life has thrown his way.
