As we previously reported here at WrestlingRumors.net, WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts was hospitalized on Aug. 28 with double pneumonia and a mass on his brain that was discovered later.
Sinn Bodhi, a close friend of Roberts’, posted the following update on his Facebook page:
“UPDATE on Jake the Snake Roberts: Today Jake underwent a Bronchoscopy… An evasive surgery to remove flem etc trapped in his lungs… He is breathing better but still on ventilator. In the moments of Jake being awake from sedation today he was telling jokes & messing with nurses! That is a good sign!!! That’s Jake being Jake! Tomorrow or next day docs will give Jake oxygen tests to see how well he can breath without ventilator and proceed from there… GetBetterJake”
Original reports had Roberts passing out on a plane, but his attorney immediately refuted the story.

We here at the site wish Roberts a continued and speedy recovery. #GetBetterJake
