Like your shoes, it's a miracle he lasted as long as he did

Not dead yet, but not looking good


Legendary professional wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts is reportedly in intensive care at a Las Vegas hospital after collapsing on a flight to the city on Wednesday.

An ambulance brought Roberts, 59, from the plane to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with double pneumonia, WrestlingInc.com reported.

The website said Roberts was in a coma for nearly 24 hours.

Diamond Dallas Page said Thursday afternoon that Roberts is no longer in a coma.


Roberts was supposed to attend a "Freakshow Wrestling" event on Friday night in Las Vegas. Freakshow's SiNN Bodhi, who says he was trained by Roberts, has been at the hospital and provided an update via Twitter:


Along with a storied wrestling career during the 1980s heyday of what was then known as the WWF, Roberts publicly battled drug addition. His struggles were documented in the film "Beyond the Mat." In one scene, Roberts is shown smoking crack in his hotel room.

In an interview with WWE.com earlier this year, Roberts said his early attempts at rehab didn't work.

"(T)he reason they didn’t work is because I wasn’t ready," Roberts was quoted as saying. "I hadn’t really found the problem. It wasn’t just my addictions. I went through a lot in my life that scarred me pretty good. I built a wall around myself to the point where nobody knew what was really going on inside of me, including myself."

Roberts said he was able to get clean with the help of Page and his DDP Yoga program.

Roberts was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April, on the same night Warrior -- a.k.a. Ultimate Warrior -- was also inducted after an on-and-off feud with the organization.

Warrior collapsed and died just days later. An autopsy later found the cause of death to be cardiovascular disease.

How does one get double pneumonia? Which wrestler will end up dying from triple pneumonia?

I liked Jake...thought his "DDT" move was cool back in the day.

DDP will give the diamond cutter to his lungs and knock that pneumonia the fuck out. No one dies on DDP's watch.

It did.

All those years of wrestling plus the drugs will shorten a person's life span and accelerate aging of the body. Look at Lex Luger now. Hell, just wrestling alone makes you older than you are

Didn't Elizabeth die doing drugs with Luger?

I think she just fell into a deep sleep watching Luger's old promos.

Is that a serious theory?

The guy is 50. I don't think he looks all that bad for 50.

I've literally never heard that before in my life. It also makes no sense; you can't, for example, bash someone's head in and then make it look like they OD'ed ... certainly not those two dipshits.

I thought it was a case of Luger getting pissed/jealous and then knowingly giving her a lethal dose of drugs.

You take that shit back. Mr Poffo would have nothing to do with such a thing. Fucking asshole smearing his name like that. Elizabeth was with Luger. Whore.

Seriously never heard that theory before. I guess it is plausible. So is her just od'ing

Macho Man walked in on Elizabeth in Luger's Rack and Snapped her like a Slim Jim
