WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda is currently in hospice care.
Rotunda’s medical situation was first announced by WWE Hall of Famer Barry Windam in a recent interview with 1Wrestling’s Bill Apter. This interview was held on October 25th and released earlier today.
“It’s kind of tough right now. You know, Mike is in hospice right now. So, anyway, that family — I love that family. But, it’s so tragic.”
Windham also gave his thoughts about what he would like to say to fans about Rotunda.
“Well, it’s been a great ride. And I would like for you all to pray for Mike.”
Rotunda and Windham were inducted together as the US Express into WWE’s Hall of Fame in 2024.
Besides his tag team with Windham, Rotunda is also most known for his I.R.S. (Irwin R. Schyster) character in WWE.
Rotunda is the father of Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy, real name Taylor Rotunda, and the late Bray Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda.
