Barry Windham(Blackjack Mulligan Jr.) is in a Flordia hospital after suffering a stroke and remains in the Intensive Care Unit, in critical condition…..One of the first times I saw Windham in action was on a Saturday afternoon coming in on WSLS TV Channel 10 out of Roanoke, Virginia and he was taking on a very young Kevin Sullivan….
Windham was very big in the NWA and he formed a tag-team with Mike Rotunda(the US Express) in the WWF and later spent a short time in the WWE as the Widowmaker…..He also spent some time with John Bradshaw Layfield(JBL) as the New Blackjacks, sevearl years back…He was also a part/member of the Four Horsemen group in WCW…..Windham was a tall rangy kid when he got started and he had such strong genetic connetions coming from his dad Bob Windham/Blackjack Mulligan, that Barry Windham was pretty much a can’t-miss in the wrestling industry, also know affectionately as sports entertaiment…..
We wish him the best and hope he can make a speedy recovery, but his condition is critical and there needs to be a break or two coming his way….I know his dad(Bob Windham) is really tore up over this and you can read on/read more from ProWrestling.net when you
CLICK HERE…..Thoughts and prayers go up for the Windham family and all those in and around the Florida hospital and at the family home in Sweetwater, Texas…..
This could be getting worse. It is also believed that Windham has suffered a heart attack along with the stroke, according to PWTorch.com…..This doesn’t sound good….Hope he still has a chance…..
Update today from Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer/Figure Four….
Rumors circulated last night that Windham, 50, had suffered a stroke, and today that he had suffered a heart attack, but family members have told people within wrestling he is currently hospitalized with what is believed to have been a heart attack.
