Former WWE star Barry Windham suffered a heart attack this weekend that has left him in the ICU fighting for his life.

She created a GoFundMe to help her uncle with the medical expenses, as he doesn’t have health insurance due to the limited work he’s had in the last several years.

“After those countless years of wrestling matches, traveling and entertaining worldwide, he experienced a number of taxing injuries and ended up undergoing multiple surgeries,” Rotunda wrote. “That led to other health complications. Barry hung his boots for the last time in the early 2000s.”

She continued that besides financial struggles, the family was enduring “great stress and hardship,” all of which were “overwhelming.”
