Hi there again everyone,
Last week, I was looking around at some of the ‘dirtsheets’ on the web and I came across an interview that Robert Roode did for ‘Monday Night Mayhem’
Throughout the article he talks about Beer Money, his push against Booker T, Singles competition, the future, Ric Flair and the company’s investment.
He talks about when he first came to the company he was placed as the ‘bodyguard’ of Team Canada (awesome team 
“….took me off on my own and put some high expectations on me being around the World Title picture. I got to be in the ring with some big names……”
After Team Canada, Roode was placed into an angle with Booker T. After that they didn’t have anything for him and he was in real danger of being released.
“I’m not going to make the mistake again of letting them not have anything for me. I’m going to make them have something for me….”
Roode credits the creative team for putting him and James Storm together as Beer Money.
“Honestly, it was only supposed to last for about three months. It lit a fire under both of us and we just told each other to make the best out of this and run with it. We did, and obviously it’s worked out great. Three years later and here we are as one of the most popular tag teams in professional wrestling today.”
On working with Ric Flair, Roode says that he was so blessed to have worked with him both in a group and one on one.
“Ric is 60 years old and he’s been around the block, but he can still go. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. He had an awesome match with Doug Williams over in England.If I have an opportunity to wrestle Ric, it would be a dream come true.”
And lastly, he talks about TNA’s investment in his superstar potential.
“Obviously I don’t want to disappoint anybody…….expect the unexpected. I was taught that you have to be different from everybody else in order to be successful in this business. You’re going to see Bobby Roode be his own person and become a superstar.”
Now, for my personal opinion about Bobby Roode. I personally love Beer Money and I think that they are kind of the whole package of what a tag team should be.
There was talk lately of splitting up Beer Money and reuniting AMW but that never came to fruition because, when Chris Harris returned at Sacrifice this year, TNA officials felt that he was out of shape and didn’t get over as much as they would’ve liked. There is no talk of Harris returning so I don’t see that happening. I don’t know if I want Beer Money to break up. They just work so well together but I also don’t mind Bobby as a singles wrestler. I think he does well on his own. Mind you, I only know his singles character as one who berates and puts down women. Makes them sound like a stereotypical women who doesn’t stand up for herself.
But that’s just me
Anyway, that is all for now,
Until next time,
You know you love me xoxo
