Jake "The Snake" Roberts, a professional wrestler of the WWE Hall of Fame, has remained hospitalized in Las Vegas after he became gravely ill on a plane from Atlanta just last week.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts was actually supposed to appear at a wrestling event that was being promoted by his long-time buddy Sinn Bodhi, whom he had a stint wrestling back then under the name of Kizarny. However, in the weeks prior to his flight, Jake "The Snake" Roberts was already not feeling very well.
Just to be clear, though, the current hospitalization of Jake "The Snake" Roberts has absolutely nothing to do with his previous experiences with substance abuse. He has not gone into a relapse. According to Bodhi, this was merely a case of a pro wrestler who was just too proud to admit that he was already not feeling too well to step into the ring.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts still boarded the plane, as initially scheduled, but the altitude was apparently too much for his sick body to handle.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts was then rushed to the hospital as soon as his plane touched down in Las Vegas. Bodhi remained stoically by his side since then. Bodhi said, "If he was still in Atlanta and just sort of hibernating, he wouldn't be getting the attention or medication that he needed and he could be a lot worse right this second." Judging Bodhi's statement, it would seem that he refers to this recent bout as a blessing in disguise.
Additionally, according to Bodhi, the doctors who attended to the needs of Jake "The Snake" Roberts diagnosed him with massive pneumonia in both of his lungs and even noted that his kidneys "aren't the greatest." Subsequent tests have also revealed that Roberts had a mass in his brain. Bodhi said, "They most likely thought the mass in his brain was a wound from his years of wrestling."
Jake "The Snake" Roberts was placed on a ventilator and is expected to remain on an assisted type of breathing for a couple more weeks. However, after a couple of days, he has improved enough that he can breathe on his own. Shortly after, his attachment to the ventilator was removed.
