The video below features Jake “The Snake” Roberts appearing at the Future Stars of Wrestling event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Roberts got on the mic and thanked fans for supporting, and then revealed he does have cancer, but said he can beat cancer like he beat addiction.

He then said WWE has been very good to him, and even paid for one of his kids to fly out and visit him in the hospital when he was sick last week.

Jake Roberts will be staying with former WWE star Sinn Bodhi, aka Kizarny, until he is able to fly back to his home in Georgia:
