Note for Tomorrow’s Raw Pre-Show

As we noted earlier tonight, there will be no Raw Backstage Pass after Raw tomorrow night, as WWE will instead be airing the debut episode of WCW Nitro on the Network.

The Raw pre-show, however, hosted by Byron Saxton, Booker T and Alex Riley, will air on the Network in its normal 7:30pm EST time slot.

Why Jake Roberts Was Put on a Ventilator

Late last night, Sinn Bodhi posted the following Jake Roberts health update on his official Facebook page:

UPDATE on Jake The Snake Roberts: Jake is NOT in a coma! Please don’t believe crappy gossip… Jake still has Phnemonia. He is not getting enough oxygen so he has been sedated and put on a ventilator… (Sedated only because the procedure is painful). Doctors have to wait & see how he responds before they can continue with MRI & other tests as the Ventilator is inhibiting but nessecary… And until the Phnemonia is cleared up it is preventing Docs from seeing what the underlying problems are. Docs can only speculate on how long he will be in this state. #GetBetterJake You can leave Jake Get-well-messages on Twitter @JakeSnakeDDT
