Jake 'The Snake' Roberts diagnosed with a cancerous tumor

2014 WWE Hall of Famer inductee, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts has been diagnosed with a cancerous tumour behind his knee, and will undergo surgery to remove it.

Jake recently returned to the WWE on Old-School RAW, and ended up putting his signature snake Damien on The Shield’s Dean Ambrose following a match.

It was also recently revealed that Roberts would be an inductee as a member of the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame class during a ceremony held the night before WrestleMania XXX and airing on the WWE Network.

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.

Jake said he’s scheduled to go under the knife Tuesday morning … and after a few weeks off — he’ll make his return to Jersey Championship Wrestling on March 14th — cancer, or not.

He added, “If the devil can’t defeat me, cancer doesn’t stand a chance in hell! Pray for sick children who face this horrible disease ’cause The Snake will be just fine.”
