UPDATE 7: The latest on the condition of WWE Hall Of Famer
Jake “The Snake” Roberts is that he is conscious and fully coherent and is
moving to a different hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Diamond Dallas Page noted that Roberts’ condition is stable, he’s coherent,
talkative and a little grumpy.
The reason Roberts is changing hospitals is because the pneumonia and fluid
has spread from his lungs to other organs in his body and the new hospital is
apparently better equipped for his condition.
UPDATE 6: There hasn’t been many updates regarding the
condition of Jake “The Snake” Roberts since he was hospitalized in Las Vegas
earlier this week.
As noted, Roberts fell unconscious during an airplane flight to a wrestling
event that he was scheduled to attend, and that he may be dealing with double
pneumonia.
It’s worth noting, however, that Roberts has regained consciousness, as he
has been having conversations with friends in the hospital.
UPDATE 5: DDP has just posted to Twitter, revealing that
Jake Roberts woke up from his coma and has been in and out of
consciousness:

UPDATE 4: TMZ has jumped on the story and
has spoken with Sinn Bodhi, who says that Roberts went to a doctor two weeks ago
and was told he had the flu and needed to rest. He told the site that Roberts
has been in pain but didn’t think anything of it because of the doctor’s
prognosis.
Roberts is in ICU (as previously reported) and his immune
system is weak. Doctors are letting him rest for the next few days while they
conduct more tests. The site says Jake does in fact have double pneumonia and
that he has been in and out of consciousness throughout the night and
day.
UPDATE 3: We have now confirmed that Jake Roberts
is in the UCE unit of a Las Vegas hospital. The report confirms the details of
the previous report, that Roberts passed out on a plane on the way to Las Vegas
for Sinn Bodhi’s show and was taken off by ambulance after the crew was unable
to revive him.
Roberts was ill over the last week but decided to get on
the flight instead of going to the doctor. He has yet to regain consciousness;
the site notes that he is “technically in a coma.” As reported, Bodhi is there
with him.
On behalf of all of us here on the website, we send our best
wishes to Jake and his family, and our sincere hopes for a full and quick
recovery.
UPDATE 2: Sinn Bodhi (Kizarney in WWE)
posted the following to Twitter, saying that he was at the hospital all night
with Jake Roberts, who is resting comfortably. Just to clarify here, despite the
“update” wording, the post is the first from Kizarney referencing the
situation:
UPDATE: @Jakesnakeddt is resting at
the hospital. I’ve been there all night making sure he is comfortable. Thanks
for all the kind messages!

UPDATED: For what
it’s worth, several other sites are reporting this story, including FanSided
which is affiliated with Sports Illustrated.
As mentioned earlier, we
received an email last night from someone claiming to work in the hospital that
Roberts was at. We opted not to run the story then since we have no history with
the person who emailed us the news and couldn’t verify
him.
ORIGINAL: According to reports, WWE Hall Of Famer
Jake “The Snake” Roberts is currently unconscious in a hospital in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
Roberts reportedly flew to Vegas on Wednesday for an event,
however reports claim that he passed out on the airplane and has remained
unconscious ever since.
An ambulance took Roberts from the plane to the
nearby hospital, which is where the WWE Hall Of Famer currently
resides.
Additionally, Roberts is reportedly suffering from double
pneumonia and doctors have claimed that his lungs are filled with fluid and that
there is a mass on his brain.
This should be taken strictly as a
RUMOR for right now until we can get further
confirmation.
