The following comes from Mika Rotunda this afternoon....
Public statement on behalf of the Rotunda Family.
Our family would like to take a moment to clarify some
information currently circulating online regarding my
father, Mike Rotunda.
Yes, my uncle Barry did make a comment mentioning that my
father is in hospice care while answering a question about
our late family member, whom we lost two years ago. We want
to make it clear that he misspoke—not intentionally.
My father is not in hospice, but rather in a rehabilitation
center. He suffered a massive heart attack on September
20th, was in a coma for a week, and spent over a month
hospitalized. By the grace of God, he has now transitioned
to a rehabilitation center, where our family remains
present, hopeful, and focused on his recovery.
It has already been a long road, and we know there is still
a long road ahead—but our faith in God remains strong.
Anyone who knows my dad knows that it’s his strength, work
ethic, and athleticism that have carried him through not
just this, but every challenge life has thrown his way. If
there’s one person I have faith in, it’s Captain Mike.
We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers,
and support from the wrestling world and our local
communities. At this time, we kindly ask for privacy as we
continue walking this journey together—but we warmly welcome
continued prayers, good energy, and healing thoughts for his
recovery.
With love and gratitude,
The Rotunda Family
