Heartbreaking for Jake Roberts, especially after he has finally seem to have won his long battle with depression, alcohol and drug abuse. He even got 10 minutes on Raw a little while back as a show of support. Luckily it seems to be operable and he has a good chance.
Jake The Snake has had an extremely tough life. His Dad was a nonce who raped his daughter who gave birth to Jake, which Jake later found out after idolising his Dad and going into the same wrestling business. He hit the bottle quite early and like most wrestlers has battled through pain pill addiction for many years. Wrestling in the 80s was a free for all as far as recreational drugs were concerned and Jake took everything available and more.
Jake has been number one on the yearly wrestling "dead lists" for about a decade, his addictions beat the shit out of him. He battled through all of this until about 3 years ago when he went to live with another former wrestler, DDP, who seemingly has the ability to use yoga and clean living to help other wrestlers through their addictions. I know Scott Hall or Razor Ramon was over there recently too and both describe DDP as a miracle worker.
Hopefully this is just a bump in the road for Jake and he continues his recovery
