Guest Guest Posted January 1, 2015 He's supposed to be dry now, but his years of abuse will have cut years off his life. And has had a brush with cancer in the past year... He's got brain cancer iirc. He seemed to have all sorts of cancer lately. "»I've gotta have more stuff taken out of my chest, it's cancer,« Roberts said. (…) Back in February, he told TMZ Sports that he needed to have a cancerous tumor in his knee removed." So that brain tumour he has is presumably a metastasis of an advanced cancer. The thing in his knee was reported to be "muscular cancer" (rhabdomyosarcoma?). Whatever it is, his chances of dying this year would appear to be high. OTOH, he has quite different expectations.

Guest Radders Posted January 1, 2015 I worked as Commissioner with Jake at a few wrestling shows in the UK. He used to drink pint glasses of vodka before his matches! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sir Creep Posted January 1, 2015 Jake the Snake? When u got Superstar Billy Graham soooo much more likely to die? Dunno the committee--fahking idiots. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,986 Posted January 1, 2015 The thing about Superstar is much like the will to outlive her sister kept Olivia and Joan alive so long,he is gonna try and will himself to live long enough to outlast Abdullah The Butcher so he can spit on his grave.

Guest Øřãłĺÿ Posted January 1, 2015 They already have "Billy Graham" on the list, putting on both of them would only confuse people. If "Superstar" dies and the "Reverend" does not, the committee could always pretend that they had always intended to put him there and the erroneous occupation/age figure was "just a mix-up on the side of a stupid website admin. He was promptly sacked and replaced with a more competent one." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anwar Muhammad, MD Posted January 2, 2015 Was the abnormality on his brain proved to be cancerous? On his twitter account, he said it was benign: http://wrestlingnewsdepot.com/2014/09/wwe-news-jake-the-snake-roberts-shares-great-news-on-his-health-condition/ However, he already had cancer removed from two distant sites (knee, chest), so I'd take these optimistic reports with a pinch of salt.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 5, 2015 You bunch of vultures Not really... more like "idiots" for putting him on (fyi it wasn't me or most of the other people here who chose the selections...). The guy's fine! Good luck to him etc. BTW, can a snake beat a vulture? It's a long time since I've played Paper Scissors Rock, I dunno what all the latest variants are. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Committee shat itself with this one. Of course this means I'll be reading his obit later today. Sir C 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
