- WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake" Roberts appeared on The Adam Carrola Show recently and talked about going to work for a new wrestling promotion starting in Las Vegas, as a trainer.

Jake said the promotion is offering full medical and retirement packages to wrestlers. Apparently they're looking at launching in December with Jake, Shane Douglas, Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk training wrestlers in the old school style of pro wrestling. There has been talk of Douglas being involved in a promotion like this for several years but nothing has ever happened, until now it looks like.

Roberts said on the podcast that he's having another hip operation soon and then would be moving to Las Vegas to work with the group.
