Not So Fast: Wrestling Legend Refutes Reports About Health Problems
That’s an improvement. There are very few things sadder in wrestling, or anything really, for hearing about someone dealing with serious health issues. It happens with a lot of people, but sometimes you get a break and find out that things are not as bad as they seem. That might be the case again, as a wrestling legend is refuting reports about his health status.
Earlier this week, Jim Ross mentioned that AEW’s Jake Roberts was dealing with serious health issues involving his breathing, which was keeping him off of AEW television. However, Roberts has responded to the story on Twitter, saying that it is untrue and he will be around for a long time. Ross has not responded to Roberts’ statement. Roberts has been serving as Lance Archer’s manager in AEW.
Hey guys once again someone wants to make a splash on the internet and what better way is there than putting out Jake Roberts is in bad health. Totally untrue. I’m going to be around a long time.

Opinion: I’ll take Roberts’ word for it and that makes this very good news. Roberts is an absolute legend in wrestling and it is great to hear that he is not in the kind of shape that we seemed to think. Roberts has had one health issue after another over the years and it would be terrible to see him have to deal with something else. Hopefully he is right about being around for a long time to come, as that would be very nice to see.
What do you think of Roberts? What should he do in AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
