WWE legend Jake 'The Snake' Roberts hospitalized, not in good condition

There is some startling news to report from the WWE world on Thursday as recent Hall of Fame inductee Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts has been hospitalized, is unconscious and is said to not be in good condition, according to a report from WrestlingRumors.net.

WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake" Roberts has been hospitalized. According to reports, Roberts has been unconscious for hours and is not in good condition.

Roberts is currently unconscious in a Las Vegas area hospital where he is reportedly being diagnosed with double pneumonia. While in the hospital, doctors also discovered a mass on Roberts’ brain.

Roberts was on his way to a show in the Las Vegas area when he apparently passed out on the plane.

The former WWE star recently got his relationship with WWE back on track, resulting in his recent induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. After years of battling substance abuse and personal demons, he struck up a relationship with Diamond Dallas Page, who helped him get his life in order finally, after all these years.

One setback that he had recently was his cancer diagnosis, however at last word, it was said that Roberts was clear of the cancer and getting back to full health.

Obviously, this is not the case now, and we will provide you with updates on the condition of Roberts here at FanSided as they become available.

The following was sent to Bill Apter to clear up rumors online on Jake Roberts’ health:

Bill –

Thank you for helping me out and getting the truth about this situation to the public.

For those that do not know, I am Jake’s attorney and manager, but more importantly his very dear friend and roommate. The truth about the current situation is as follows: Jake has been under the weather for at least a week, may be closer to two weeks, and was told he had the flu and was run down from his travel schedule. Despite not feeling well, Jake made a point to make a show for our very good friend, Sinn Bohdi, in Las Vegas. On that flight, Jake experienced extreme chest tightness and trouble breathing. Upon landing in Las Vegas, he was rushed to the hospital where we learned he had pneumonia in both lungs and had frighteningly little lung function. He is being aggressively treated for that now.

During his testing, the doctors also noticed an abnormality in his brain. The initial diagnosis is that this is from his time taking bumps as a wrestler, but Jake has a neurologist who is investigating. At this point, Jake’s condition is not known completely. It will take some time to find out the answers. However, to clear up a few rumors, Jake did not pass out on the plane. He was alert and awake while notifying the flight attendants of his pain and shortness of breath. Jake was induced to a “coma-like" state in order to effectively treat the pneumonia. Jake has not been completely alert until now due to that treatment. Drugs or alcohol have no bearing on this event despite the internet rumors. Jake was doing great and received a clean bill of health on his PET scan after his leg cancer procedure in May. Hopefully that is still the case now.

To the many supporters, thank you very much from Jake’s team and family. Jake is awake and alert now. It will be his decision when to update the public from this point forward. We appreciate your respect for our privacy.

Kyle P. Magee, Esq.
