A couple of days ago, the wrestling world came together to pray when it came to light that WWE veteran Mike Rotunda had suffered a heart attack. Now, Vince Russo has opened up about the situation, saying Rotunda's health might have worsened as he continues to deal with the grief of losing his son, Bray Wyatt.Rotunda's former tag team partner, Barry Windham, had first broken this news when he revealed that the latter was in hospice care. However, Mike Rotunda's daughter soon issued a clarification, saying that Windham had misspoken and that her father was in a rehabilitation center after suffering a "massive heart attack."Speaking on the latest episode of Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the former WCW Champion discussed Mike Rotunda's health crisis. Vince Russo said that since the WWE Hall of Famer was also grieving his son Bray Wyatt's death, who passed away in 2023, it might have taken a toll on his physical health."When a father or mother has the loss of a child, bro, that's just devastating. I can't imagine. But I can imagine this. There's just a piece of you that's gone, and that's something I'm sure you think about every single day, and after a while, man, that's just gonna take its toll on you, man, mentally and physically," Vince Russo said.
