WWE Hall Of Famer Undergoes Surgery

A WWE Hall of Famer has undergone heart surgery.

Back in January, Jake Roberts was rushed to the hospital and was quickly diagnosed with Pneumonia. The veteran admitted that he didn’t remember being taken to the hospital initially, but he was released four days later.

While discussing the setback on his The Snake Pit podcast, Roberts revealed that a heart problem had been discovered during his hospital stay, noting he would need to have it treated in the not-too-distant future.

“I’m doing a little bit better. I had a pretty scary moment last week. I got incredibly sick, and I wound up going to the hospital on Friday night. Don’t remember a damn thing. It’s pretty scary. Come to find out I had pneumonia, and that’s not a good thing for me.

I already have COPD, and to get pneumonia, and that’s not a good thing for me. I already have COPD, and to get pneumonia is like you’re flirting with disaster there.

I got a problem with my ticker. But by going in, I caught it, and we got to go have a couple of procedures done, and it’ll be all hunky dory then,”
