We’re checking it today for the very first time to attempt to go do something. I understand that without the oxygen if I talk for about 20 seconds, I’m done. I can’t go any longer. It simply is not there. This is going to be something that I’m gon na have to work with.”
However not any more! The Snake tweeted the other day:

As the “persistent” in its name recommends, COPD isn’t treatable. Roberts and his medical group have him in a location where he does not require to wheel around an oxygen tank any more, which is excellent news for him, his liked ones, and everybody who desires to see him doing professional wrestling-related activities.
