Jake “The Snake” Roberts to Move Out of Intensive Care

Over the past week, the health of WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts has been a hot topic within the professional wrestling industry. It began when Roberts was rushed to the hospital, following his flight’s touchdown in Las Vegas, on Aug. 28. He was en route to Vegas for an appearance for promoter and friend Sinn Bodhi, who has remained by Roberts’ side throughout the ordeal.

Roberts was diagnosed with double pneumonia, and a mass was discovered on his brain. The mass was believed to be due to his career in wrestling, but Roberts’ neurologist is investigating the cause. Roberts has been awake and communicating since his hospitalization, and recently began to talk again on Sept. 3.

Bodhi was recently interviewed by Chuck Carroll on the week’s “Turnbuckle Weekly with Chuck Carroll.” Bodhi reiterated many things from past interviews and reports, mentioning Roberts’ hospitalization had nothing to do with drug or alcohol abuse.

One new thing Bodhi revealed in the interview was the fact that Roberts is set to be taken out of intensive care by the weekend of Sept. 6 through Sept. 7. Though, he will remain hospitalized and under observation for at least a couple more days, following his removal from ICU. If he continues to show signs of improvement, Roberts will be discharged. Bodhi went on to state that if Roberts is discharged, he will likely take care of the wrestling legend until Roberts is able to fly or be driven back home to Atlanta.
