msc 18,421 Posted December 12, 2020 He was back on Dynamite this week after a few weeks away, as manager of the Murderhawk. Ten min segment and the camera didn't focus on him, but by the end he very noticeably leaned over onto the ramp for support, and then was clearly struggling for breathe. imo if Jake can no longer perform, he'll go downhill rapidly, and based on the evidence from this careful stage managed role to be as least stressful as possible, I don't think he's got much left in the tank. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree.I think he could be the first hit of 2021 if he is on the list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genfærd 452 Posted December 12, 2020 Yeah, it's really a matter of time. If the committee doesn't include him next year, they'll probably miss out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewd_Squirrel 331 Posted December 12, 2020 Maybe he'll be either the last hit, this year, for me, or the first hit for next year? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted December 12, 2020 Took Liz dawn 13 years to die from COPD and she had a heart attack during that time. Just found out and can't get over the fact he has 8 children though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,580 Posted December 12, 2020 How famous is he in the uk - more than just tabloid fodder and will make BBC/Sky News?. I've never heard of him? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can confidently say on precedent Jake will get a BBC obit when he dies and probably make the front page too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted December 12, 2020 Well he made Deathlist 50 in 2015 so I imagine he’s far more famous than your typical wrestling name. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was one of the prominent names in WWE in the early 90s when it started gaining a significant following in Blighty. A guy in my year at secondary school shared his name, was a source of amusement among us all for the first half term (Autumn/Fall 92) till it got old 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted January 30, 2021 Jake the Snake watch, Dynamite (28/01/2021) - he was on AEW Dynamite but the ref did the old "send the interfering manager backstage" bit within seconds to limit his on-screen time. He was quite red in the face (more so than last month) and looked out of breath from just standing. He showed up 3 weeks ago and he looked like he had put on weight due to medicine. He's clearly ailing but struggling along, and they haven't given him speaking time since the COPD announcement. Reminds me of when Gorilla Monsoon was ailing/dying and the WWE kept giving him small spots here and there so he'd still be involved in the show... Anyhow, as we should get regular sight reports, more in 2-3 weeks time unless the Reaper intervenes... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted February 6, 2021 Jake on Dynamite again (3rd Feb 2021) - managing the Murderhawk during a lumberjack match so mostly in the background of shots. He did hit one of his patented Jake the Snake punches and immediately fell over. Balance issues. Anyhow, here's a pic, although my non-HD laptop doesn't quite catch how red in the face he was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted May 22, 2021 Not really had much of a look in in recent months but Jake was looking rough on Dynamite this week. Like he'd rushed off a nebuliser to appear on TV for 20 seconds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted September 17, 2021 Has missed the last 7 weeks of TV due to COPD health issues and hasn't tweeted in over a month. This is basically the "msc posts updates on the guy all the non-wrestling fans have in their DDP team" thread somehow... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted September 25, 2021 Likely to be one of the last updates in this thread before, you know. Big Dave Meltzer in his latest newsletter confirms Jake's COPD has got significantly worse, and he is currently in a wheelchair with a near permanent nasal cannula to aide breathing. He also can't talk for more than 20 seconds without needing oxygen, so can't do TV. He appeared at a Horrorfest convention this week but was very frail. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,692 Posted December 22, 2021 https://www.thesportster.com/ddp-starting-new-podcast-with-jake-the-snake-roberts/ Apparently starting a new podcast with Diamond Dallas Page known for his yoga that "saved" Jake the Snake. Will be called the DDP Snake Pit, starting in late december or early january. Article says that he's "doing much better now" but I wonder if that's true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,421 Posted June 24, 2022 Am sure we had the Jake doing better updates in here. Anyhow, back off TV for the foreseeable to recover from "minor surgery". Bladder related so possibly old man problems, but expect someone to claim its further cancer soon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
