Jake “The Snake” Roberts recently revealed a frightening brush with his health on his The Snake Pit podcast. The WWE legend shared that he was hospitalized after falling seriously ill, leading to a series of alarming diagnoses.

“I’m doing a little bit better,” Roberts began. “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 is like you’re flirting with disaster there.”

Roberts explained that his hospital stay uncovered more health issues. “I was in the hospital for four days, and very grateful to find out that I’ve got a couple of issues I did not know. One is I had blood in my urine, didn’t know that. Another thing is, apparently I’m leaking blood somewhere in my gut, and that’s causing my iron levels to be low. That’s not a good thing. Then to top it off, 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.”

The wrestling icon admitted the experience left him shaken. “I’ve got this cough, but I’m doing better. It’s quite the surprise, man. Next thing I know, I’m waking up in a hospital. That was weird.”
