LAS VEGAS — WWE legend Jake “The Snake” Roberts is in intensive care after being diagnosed with double pneumonia, according to a report from WrestlingInc.com.

A hospital spokeswoman in Las Vegas told USA TODAY Sports Roberts was admitted to the facility on Wednesday.

According to the report, Roberts flew to Las Vegas on Wednesday to appear in a show when he became unconscious on the plane.

Roberts was in a coma for 24 hours but was out of it as of Thursday night, according to the report.

Roberts was an iconic star for WWE in the 1980s and 1990s and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April.

I'm sorry if this is old news or if I posted this in the incorrect spot and it was best served for the wrestling off-topic community thread.

This is what I first thought. Off to wiki.

edit:

Double pneumonia
This is a historical term for acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).[6] However, the term was, and is used still, especially by lay people, to denote pneumonia affecting both lungs. Accordingly, the term 'double pneumonia' is more likely to be used to describe bilateral pneumonia than it is ALI or ARDS.

What the hell is double pneumonia?

Pneumonia in both lungs.

My brother had it as a kid.

When both lungs get infected.

 

[Fornaximus]

Double pneumonia? I've had pneumonia a couple times. Don't think I'd want a double dose of that.

Vince would go into meltdown if he lost 2 2014 HOF graduates in less than a year.

Hope u get better Jake, I marked out like fuck when you came back earlier in the year.

 

[MisterHero]

Pneumonia kills too many people.

Get well Jake
