WCW legend Barry Windham is certainly one of the greatest stars of the promotion and he has been part of several iconic matches during his separate stints with WWE and WCW. Unfortunately, the WWE Hall of Famer has been fighting for his life after suffering a major heart attack. An update has emerged regarding his health.
Barry Windham is out of ICU
The 62-year-old suffered a heart attack this past Friday while traveling through the Atlanta airport. This news was shared by Windham’s niece, Mika Rotunda (the sister of Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas). Mika has since set up a fundraiser to help Windham’s family pay for medical expenses.
On Friday morning, Mika took to Twitter and thanked everyone who had sent their good wishes. Mika shared that he is stabilized and out of ICU. She wrote the following:
Thank you to all who have reached out, prayed, contributed and sent well wishes to my Uncle Barry this week. I wanted to give an update! I’m grateful to say he is stabilized & out of ICU. Talking & able to stand. Thanks again everyone! There absolutely is power in prayer.”

This is the second time Barry Windham has suffered a heart attack. The former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion went into cardiac arrest in 2011, and doctors had to perform an emergency procedure on him at the time as well.
Windham’s family is planning to raise $200,000 to cover up the medical expenses. If one is willing to help the family in this hardship, here’s the link for the GoFundMe for Barry Windham.
