It's been a hectic couple of weeks for WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake Roberts". Yesterday though, he was on Twitter and in good spirits, talking about his recovery from pneumonia and a collapse brought on by the illness, as well as from a lifetime of addiction and other issues that had left him estranged from family and loved ones.
And news was positive on all fronts:
227lbs. All the way from 308lbs how sweet is that? Granted pneumonia not a good way to achieve but I'm still taking it.

Unbielevable weekend having two of my daughters taking care of me. Also took some time to scratch the past and try to soothe the wounds.

Prior to his latest round of cancer and the aforementioned health scares, Jake had been pretty vocal about believing he could still offer something in the right spot as a wrestler for WWE. In the past, he's campaigned for a Royal Rumble spot, and briefly appeared at January's "Old School" Raw for a segment with The Shield.
Now, it sounds like the events of the past couple of weeks have disavowed him of that notion:
Don't think I can ever get back n ring. I have came a long ways n last two years and know how hard it is to get ready and how easy to lose

Sounds like Roberts' has his priorities in order. The entire cSs family continues to wish him the best, and we look forward to seeing him, in a non-wrestling capacity, again soon!
