- Bobby Roode has recently confirmed his retirement from wrestling in WWE so here's a video on the story of Bobby Roode in TNA. He wrestled for TNA for 12 years and became a legend with the company, he started as a jobber in Team Canada, had a singles heel run, made a tag team with James Storm called Beer Money and eventually became a heel World Heavyweight champion. I've documented his rise through the company and covered his main career highlights. 2010-2012 was peak Bobby Roode as he feuded with Sting, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair, AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy. By the end of this he was one of TNA's greatest home grown talents.

Who was TNA’s biggest home grown star?
The beautiful people
Styles
Chris Harris...post Braden Walker he was biggest
Abyss
Samoa Joe Imo. I know he good things in ROH heard lots of references but I personally know him from TNA as do i guess a lot of others.
Well if he really says he's done with in-ring wrestling, then I think he should be the next inductee in the TNA Hall of Fame, I mean he's earned it.
It would be shameful if he doesnt he deserves it and he also deserves another hall of fame inductee as beer money
@@Treyski4410 definitely one for Beer Money, and maybe one for the Team Canada Stable (depending if some of the members want to and if Anthem ever change their mind with Scott D'Amore release.) Mainly I just remember liking that stable growing up.
Should’ve already been there
Should have one for the beer money stable should have one for the team Canada faction should also have one for fortune
But most importantly, greatest tna singles champion
What about America's most wanted
its crazy how him and dolph ziggler are having the same career in reverse companies.
I still remember his hardcore match with James Storm. Beer Money was great, glad I grew up watching TNA in it's prime
Long-haired Roode was goated.
He was sexy
He almost looked like Triple H
One of the few TNA originals that Hogan and the leader of the grey crew actually helped
Can’t argue with that.
Roode was so good. Even as a "yay good guy, boo bad guy" kid, i liked him.
Bobby Roodes heelturn was what ultimately made me a TNA fan. I was just getting into wrestling over the autumn of 2011 and when he hit Storm with that beer bottle I knew I just witnessed something special. To this day Bobby Roode is in my personal alltime top 5 and likely will stay there until I die
Bobby Roode TNA´s Best Home Grown Total Package. The light at the end of the tunnel in TNA´s Hogan Era.
James storm
@@pleaseshutup7053 Storm was screwed over by bad Storylines and horrible Stables (Death Crew Council, The Revolution). His feuds with Rhyno, Chris Harris and Bobby Roode were golden.
@@dosenplok140 the revolution 😂😂😂 that was wild I remember that
@@pleaseshutup7053no
EC3 was & it isn’t close. He was the greatest prospect we’ve seen post-Kurt/Orton, and pre-Steiners kid
16:24 this is how I feel about Hangman in AEW. His journey to the world title was interesting and then his actual world title reign was forgettable
Watching those Bobby Roode promos again is such a blast from the past. He really did deserve so much more.
Salute to the It Factor and Glorious one, Bobby Roode. Loved him post his split from Team Canada, to the days in Beer Money Inc, that excellent promo, and of course his time as TNA World Champion. I wish he got a better shake on the WWE main roster, but that NXT run was really good as well. Smart of him to put his long term health before wrestling and he seems to be good as a producer/agent, so he will always have job options. Great video as always!
Roode was always that one guy that could go out there on any given night and give you a good match. He wasn’t outstanding at anything in particular but he was always the most reliable and managed to make whatever he was given work. That’s what made him such a big asset to TNA. I appreciate him a lot more now in hindsight because of that. He’s very underrated.
Beer Money Inc is one of my fav tag teams ever. Just the name alone gets a pop from me and both wrestlers were amazing in the tag and on their own. Makes me sad that Bobby is done with wrestling but he says he's happy with his new job. So I wish him nothing but the best!
Roode’s off the chain theme is top 3 in TNA history
Bobby Roode and Team Canada were my first exposure to TNA. I remember being a kid and watching a Canadian Destroyer for the first time. I was blown away. Also, the Roode heel turn against James Storm is one of my favorite moments in wrestling history.
That Beer Money Theme Song Was Gold
Roode was one of the guys I was introduced to when I started watching TNA. Back in Lockdown 2007. I liked him, but what sealed it, was Beer Money. Beer Money is damn goated.
So, what you're saying is, roode was supposed to finish his story and didn't and the fans were really frustrated?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
“F##k your story.”
I never realized that Roode’s career was almost backwards JBL..
A stock broker then his beer money tag team👀
I love this full career video
Great video. Really reminded me what's so great about wrestling.
This made me happy and sad at the same time. Loved his career in TNA, possibly my favourite home grown TNA wrestler of all time. He did amazing in NXT but its like WWE on the main roster didn't even attempt to make him someone fans cared about. Was like he was just thrown out there, and starting him as a babyface really didn't help play to his strengths.
Roode losing his second world title in one day reminds me why this company failed AJ and Joe later on on this era
Roode in his main event mode was sensational, making Storm and Aries into better characters and prospects. Respect.
I don’t think Aries would have made it so big without him.
The AJ Styles defense in May 2012 was the best of his reign I felt that gave him the longest TNA title reign at the time (although Jarrett’s NWA title reign of 2004-2005 was still longer.) The ladder match with RVD also was pretty good. The match where he lost the title to Aries was also one of the best world title matches in the company’s history.
wow that promo on the hulkster was great
He’s in my Mt Rushmore of TNA because of his IT Factor run. He was undoubtedly the Man in TNA at one point.
He was never the man stop it
@@pleaseshutup7053he actually was because a lot of fans during that tna run loved him. Even though he was a heel
@@MariinKitagawa that doesn’t make him the man. He was never the face of Tna. That goes to Kurt styles and sting
@@pleaseshutup7053nah he definitely was 💯.
@@pleaseshutup7053 yes it does tho….. during a time where neither one of those guys was the champ this man carried the main event scene gracefully
*”BEER…. MONEY!!!!….” One of the three best teams in the history of TNA. Bobby Roode’s promos, vignettes, and interviews (during the “Fortune” era) were some of the best I’ve heard.*
And it was a random set up tag team too. They made it work so good, and Beer Money was a favorite Tag Team, for sure.
*Absolutely,* @@GuntanksInSpace*! Their origin was like that of the Steve Austin and Brian Pillman version of “The Hollywood Blondes”. They were paired together randomly to fail, but it backfired on their critics. They became successful as a team and were broken-up because of jealousy and greed against them.*
Thanks for this, MarkyD!!! Roode had quite the career, though, it could have been even better. You managed to remind me of some things i'd forgotten about. I was watching in 2010/2011, when he shattered the glass ceiling, & it was so amazing, & his mic work was top notch, & he truly began to look like a star!! The selfish generation was definitely the best phase of Roode's career!! Also, Beer Money is still the GTTOAT!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
While EGO didn't last long or be a major faction, the name it was an acronym for, the Extraordinary Gentlemen's Organization, was great.
I feel like Roode is one of the few wrestlers who somehow made it through all the politicking & BS & booking changes & booker biases & everything to pretty much max out their potential. He wasn't an all-time talent, but he had no real flaws in his game and was more than good enough across the board to accumulate lots of gold and spend a lot of time in & around the main event scene. So three (NXT counts for me) mostly competent but fairly weak/unspectacular world title reigns and many, usually more successful, secondary singles & tag title runs feels just about right for him. In a general sense, he'd still be an easy Hall of Famer, just not quite an inner-circle one. All in all, a damn good career.
Thanks for the video.
It'd be great to see a video about Roode's NXT run.
Other than AJ watching Roode for the best part of ten years in TNA was awesome. A joy to watch and I think in WWE he probably wouldn't have had the career that he had in TNA. He was the man
His promo with james storm before lockdown was amazing.
I watched TNA and had no idea thats why they were called Beer Money 😂 i thought it was because they wanted to earn beer money by wrestling 😂
This dude and EY are the reasons I became a TNA fan.
The storyline with roode and miss brook is what got me hooked on Tna it was hilarious and crazy Eric acting all paranoid
One of my all time favorite wrestlers
Yes I've been waiting for this thanks ❤😮
Bobby Roode and James Storm's blood feud was amazing.
Such a shame Roode couldn't get going in WWE. At least he wasn't outright buried.
Roode vs Storm cage match is literally where I jumped off TNA.
Because it was frustrating?
@@Markyd123 There was such a huge build up for the match, Roode got plenty of screwy finishes or beer bottle to the head finishes over Storm.
it was a show in Storm's hometown and felt like it should have been the big blow off for the feud.
The Superkick through the cage kinda fell flat with a lot of people.
Pretty sure Storm just disappeared from tv after that.
@@Scottgunner89 Or they should have had Roode hold the belt until Bound for Glory and have Storm face obstacles and win the Bound for Glory series and beat Bobby roode on year later.
Yeah the managers all chasing after Roode was basically an updated copy of Macho Man's initial WWF storyline. Except Macho was having matches and beating fools decisively (with semi-ridiculous levels of showboating)
Jacqueline is comedy gold. I always loved her work with Ron Simmons
Robert Roode is great in the ring and great on the stick. Him being mouthpiece of Fourtune made sense.
Damn lol I got quite pissed too at that BFG loss to Angle. I, much like yourself and many others, were NOT ready for how this eventually led to Roode the gloriously slimy champ that he was. Do agree that after that I kinda don't remember most of his defenses (as well as our cable provider not having any TNA anymore lol)
Roodes "Northern Lariat" has always been one of my favorite finishers and that one didn't last long at all... You could use it on anyone at anytime.
Funny thing I remember from Roode's TNA run was when Christy Hemme announced him as "Bobby Roooooooooooooooooooo!"
That promo to Hogan sent chills down my spine.
GLORIOUSSSSSSSSS
To say WWE fans are missing on guys' peaks is an understatement.
I would say Kurt Angle in TNA was peak Kurt Angle.
I loved roode's world title reign he was such an amazing promo,i loved the segment when he austin aries waw champ and he could balrey talk amazing acting
He had the best TNA theme, imo.
Love this guy forever. He was awesome. Was under appreciated but great career.
bobby roode has produced both the Wrestlemania 40 mainevents and has done an incredible job also as an backstage producer and made it very memorable and entertaining .as a wrestler he has not done anything memorable but he has found his success as a backstage producer and deserves a lot of appreaciation for the work he has done
His theme once he became world champion was a banger
Haven't watched the video yet, but responding to the thumbnail, In WWE, for sure he was.
From 2011-2013 I was all in on TNA lol. And Roode was really good Champion. Off the CHAINS
I wish we could one more solid run outta him, HHH can talk him into it and I would love him to be a grizzled vet that gets the world title before he graciously bows out at the following Wrestlemania right after he goes into both TNA and WWE Hall of Fames. That being said he was a beast in tNA once figured out his character, always respcted him as a wrestling talent, sad he may never step in the ring again, but him and Joe WWE fumbled with hard af, honestly itll be dope if he could instead his run being in WWE if he dont want to, he have his final run where it all started for him in TNA, they got bread again and it is home.
Bobby Roode is a real talent..a total package..WWE was stupid enough not to utilise him to his full potential
He was 41 when he hit the main roster to be fair
Booby Roode is a legend
Salute
"Most of you didn't watch pass when Styles left."
That perfectly describes me.
The pinacle of Roode's career for me is him cutting that amazing promo on Eric The Actor from the Stern show. Prolly made the little guy's life mixing it up with the roster back them.
Always like Roode. Happy to learn that WWE didn’t completely bury him and he won some gold over there.
This run was so dope man
This brought me back. I wish I was super filthy rich I’d definitely invest in TNA and try to help them out
Great video
Loved Bobby Roode. Really wish he was still wrestling in WwE
A video about RVD ECW TV Championship run would be really cool.
His NXT run was actually really good!
i still have hope he isn’t done , Just one world title reign in wwe plz
WELL IM OFF THE CHAIN
I'd be lying if I said Off the Chain wasn't a banger. As soon as the music hits, I couldn't help but sing-along even if I don't hear the lyrics.
Eric Young looking young is so unusual
Bobby roode is a well accomplished professional wrestler as baby face and as a heel
Batista's 2014-2019 run please
Is this sarcasm? 🤮
Was great in tna and even partly in nxt, was one of my favourites in tna , for some reason he always reminded me of hhh
Can you do a video about Team Canada pls
The story of Bobby Rude going to NXT while James Storm leaving NXT at the same time is pretty funny
I always preferred James Storm in Beer Money. But I definitely see why TNA used Bobby Roode as much as they did. They both had talent for sure.
great stuff I didnt really get into tna until after jarrett's reign of terror was over and right before kurt angle came over was when i started watching anyway roode was great as a heel they made him into a kind of hybrid tully blanchard/arn anderson with his run in fourtune&first title run
KEITH LEE 30 matches main roster run….
NNNOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heck, I'd love a tribute run or match of beer money in wwe.
Please one day do a video on Jaxson Ryker / Gunner. underrated wrestler
Big fan I don’t know if this will get enough likes for you to see it but I’m a trucker and it’s how to watch the videos while I drive have you ever thought about posting them in audio form on Spotify
Thanks bro. Never realised people wanted the audio on Spotify! I will take a look
Everyone was so good on the mic in TNA
Fuck..... Didn't realise how much of a great promo he was. That's on me
Marky, you should do a "was it any good" on diesel as wwf champ. The popular narrative is that it was horrible but it would be interesting to hear your perspective on it especially since you like bigger guys
He was a pretty good heel.
I’d argue he was more screwed by WWE, but it wasn’t about office politics, it was about when he signed up. He should have gotten to reach his full potential.
Can we get RKK Scott Steiner for ROH soon please ?
This
Roode was one of the main reasons I watched TNA. Loved him. The Hawk got a cold? Bit of a snotty beak?
Legitimately loved beer money inc 😅
Is there a hall of pain upload? Swear one's in my memory but couldn't find it
No it’s on my list but never got around to it
Yoo are you Traploreross ? You guys sound exactly the same I can’t shake it 😭
I've always said Bobby roode is the triple h of TNA
so, if he had zero talent/wasn’t handsome..?
2008 - 2017 TNA was great
I finally found out what DWI stood for 😂😊
Watching early and prime tna was a blessing ngl .. I remember raw coming on my tv randomly I was I was like oh ish is that Bobby roode? And aj styles??? Tf
I loved roode, wish he had a main event run but his nxt run was very good.
Mac mahon Junior was never gonna let a TNA top guy have that spot
