Barry Windham, a WWE Hall of Famer and pro wrestling legend, suffered a “massive heart attack” on Friday while traveling through Atlanta and is currently in the ICU, according to his family.

Windham, 62, underwent “an emergency procedure to save his life,” according to a GoFundMe set up for the former wrestler. The fundraiser was set up because Windham’s medical history and limited work left him without health insurance, his family said.

“To face these times is one of great stress and hardship. As well as one that comes with extensive medical expenses he is taking on. That is overwhelming to say the least.”
