The 2014 WWE Hall of Fame inductee revealed to TMZ.com that he has a cancerous tumor behind his knee which is slowly expanding into his muscle. Last month, he noticed a tumor behind his knee the size of a half dollar so he had it tested. On Friday, doctors informed him that the test came back positive for cancer. Roberts is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday. He still has plans to wrestle for Jersey Championship Wrestling on March 14. "If the devil can't defeat me, cancer doesn't stand a chance in hell! Pray for sick children who face this horrible disease 'cause The Snake will be just fine," said Roberts. Regarding his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in April, Roberts says nothing will stop him from arriving to New Orleans, Louisiana for the ceremony. www.tmz.com/2014/02/23/jake-the-snake-roberts-cancer-tumor-knee-surgery/

Cancer is bullshit and it's a bummer to hear that Jake has it. I like his positive attitude and message for the kids though. I like the new clean Jake Roberts.

I wish him the best. My grandmother (on my dad's side) who passed away in 2012 was diagnosed with breast cancer twice in her life and beat it both times
My grandfather (on my mom's side) has also been with breast cancer in the past and he lived through it as well though he's currently have a lot of problems with his kidneys.
Hopefully he can pull through this. Prayers for him and his family.
