WWE Hall of Famer Barry Windham is doing better after suffering a life-threatening heart attack earlier this month.
The Windham family has set up the GoFundMe Campaign to help financially support his medical expenses and bills during this difficult time. According to Mika Rotunda, sister of WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt, their uncle \"experienced a number of taxing injuries and ended up undergoing multiple surgeries. That led to other health complications.\"
Since retiring, Windham \"has been limited with work due to his medical history\" and \"left without health insurance.\"
On Friday, December 9, Mika Rotunda provided an encouraging update on Windham\'s health. She wrote on Twitter that he\'s stabilized & out of intensive care. He\'s also talking and able to stand, which is great news to hear after such a scare.
