Jake “The Snake” Roberts Starts Fundraiser To Raise Money For Shoulder Surgery

Brooks Oglesby January 25, 2013 WWE News 8 Comments

Jake “The Snake” Roberts, who has been living and training with Diamond Dallas Page, recently created an IndieGogo page to raise money for a shoulder surgery. According to the report, Roberts has lost 60 pounds and been sober for over 75 days, the longest stretch in over a decade, but his shoulder is getting in the way of his exercise regimen.

Rewards for donating range include a signed photograph, a personal phone call, and an “accountability crib” experience with Roberts and DDP.

Surely DDP has millions at this point? He was WCW champion when WCW were paying silly money.

  The money can go faster than one would think. Its not likely he’s been making comparable money since then. Makes me wonder how Ultimate Warrior gets by these days, the guy doesn’t strike me as a financial genius.

There is something really sympathetic about Jake Roberts, the way he looks. He looks like a man that has been hurt, but also looks like a good guy. I kind of feel sad for him when I read he has to raise money for his operation.

He’s already got almost twice as much as he asked for. Kind of reaffirms one’s faith in the goodness of humanity, doesn’t it?

Is DDP the Jesus or what. This guy turns everything he touches gold !

He’s creating his own “Legends House,” WWE may want to work something with Page for their network.
