Jake 'The Snake' Roberts announces he's now cured of cancer

Free from cancer: Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts

Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts tweeted last evening that he is now free from cancer.

The WWE Hall of Famer was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour behind his knee, and was to undergo surgery to remove it.

As the quintessential heel on the mic and in the ring, Roberts was able to convince all kinds of fans to despise him. Jake the Snake made a living out of drawing the ire of the fans during some of the biggest battles in history against the top names in the business.

This is what he tweeted:

Must have one more surgery on spot on leg to b sure area cancer free. Have to have scans done every 3 months to monitor my body. Cancer free
