In more bad news this week WWE Hall Of Famer Bob “Blackjack Mulligan” Windham, 72, suffered a heart attack yesterday and is currently in Hospital. He is in Critical Condition but is awake. Blackjack has had a number of health issues in the past few years, and was scheduled to undergo brain surgery today, to help relieve the pressure on his brain. His success was mainly in the tag team ranks where he was a part of the Blackjacks along with Blackjack Lanza, he is also the Grandfather of Bo Dallas & Bray Wyatt.
Update – WWE Developmental Trainer X Pac, has put out his condolences to the Mulligan Family in this tweet. While we cannot confirm the passing of Blackjack, it would appear that he has probably passed away.
I just heard we lost Blackjack Mulligan as well. I feel like I just recovered from a low blow & immediately got hit with another one! 🙏😥

Update 2 – A Dr Jerry Wiseman, has countered this by saying Blackjack is alive and Xpac was wrong. Xpac replied, in saying he made a mistake.
@TheRealXPac is an idiot I just spoke with BlackJack Mulligan and he is alive and fighting.
