Robert Roode (Spoilers)

[NWAFAN]

I think he's the best thing currently going in TNA. But TNA CANNOT continue to to let him hold on to the title by cheap finishes. It's OK for the bad guy to cheat to get the win. But to kick the ref in the balls? This is the second PPV with an unsatisfactory ending. For people to take a champion seriously, he's gonna have to win a few convincing matches.

[Brad]

It's his gimmick, selfishness and doesn't care what it takes to get the win and not caring who he screws over in the process. I agree he needs to get a clean win over someone, but the best way to explain it is that this is like the Age of The Viper or Age of Orton when Randy Orton had the WWE Championship in 2008 I think.

Lol, Bobby Roode! kicking Brian Hebner in the nuts was funny. You dont
see a wrestler do that as much like they use to back in the day. I thought
it was good for him to be able to retain the championship of Impact Wrestling.

[NWAFAN]

I guess he's gonna go down as the champion that never wins a match.

^^^You mean the same way he didn't win the match against James Storm to get the title in the first place or A.J. Styles at Turning Point & their final encounter on Impact?

If you think the way he's winning matches is winning over fans, then you're clueless. I think Roode can be a strong champion and I love that he's wearing a suit when he's not wrestling. But he needs to actually win matches to be considered a strong champion. Right now, he's the "DQ" champion.

You said he wasn't winning matches & I pointed out that he did and now your calling him the "DQ champion" when he's won more title matches than he's lost by "DQ" in this title reign. Your the one who's clueless by making the statement & observations you are while trying to speak for the entire wrestling community and in this case acting like no other heel champions have lost by DQ to retain their titles when they knew they were in jeopardy of losing then yet call yourself an old school NWA fan?

The difference is Roode's character is to get DQed when he can't win. Sure, Flair and any other heel champion would get DQed, but it wasn't nearly as blantant as what Roode is doing. Plus, they would also win their share of matches by pinfall via pulling the tights or grabbing the ropes, or somestimes even fair and square.

I believe Roode can be a dominate champion, but in order for that to happen, TNA needs to let him win some matches and not make him get DQed everytime.

Have you even payed attention to how many title matches Roode has had as a champion? You can count them on one hand and he's won more than he's lost. He's only lost ONE title match by DQ...ONE yet your screaming "he never won a match...he's a DQ champion...he gets DQ'd all the time." You also said that past champions would win their fair share of matches via pulling the tights...how did Roode win at Turning Point again? You also said sometimes fair & square...that's how he beat A.J. in their final encounter via submission & also got 3 clean wins on A.J. in the ironman match. Everything your saying he doesn't do he's shown that he has done in a small time & saying he gets DQ'd every time when he's only gotten DQ'd once. It's a case of a fan getting too busy complaining & going off on a rant instead of paying attention to see that TNA actually has done with Roode what the bitching is about in the first place.

OK, "he gets himself counted" out at versus AJ at Final Resolution. Yeah, they both had clean wins in their iron man match, but all that matters is how it ended. What people remember is him getting counted out to remain champion. Then he gets DQed at Genesis and gets DQed (I guess) at last weeks IMPACT. I don't know what you call it, but TNA is setting up Roode's title run as a joke. That's two bull shit endings in a row at a PPV that me and others paid $44.95 That's right, before you use the "you're just a TNA basher" card, I'm actually one of the few that pay for the PPV's.

[Black Terminator]

I think Robert Roode kicking Earl Hebner is smart move and funny at best, I can seriously think he is going off to bigger and better things.

[NWAFAN]

I hope so.

OK, "he gets himself counted" out at versus AJ at Final Resolution.

First you said he doesn't win which I showed that he did & now again stating something that didn't happen & seeing what you want to see because it was a draw at Final Resolution, Roode never lost by countout.

Yeah, they both had clean wins in their iron man match, but all that matters is how it ended. What people remember is him getting counted out to remain champion.

That's what YOU remember, again you don't speak for everyone. I'm part of the people & that's not all I remember.

Then he gets DQed at Genesis and gets DQed (I guess) at last weeks IMPACT.

So he gets DQ'd once (Impact was a no contest) & you call him a "DQ champion" like that makes alot of sense.

I don't know what you call it, but TNA is setting up Roode's title run as a joke. That's two bull shit endings in a row at a PPV that me and others paid $44.95 That's right, before you use the "you're just a TNA basher" card, I'm actually one of the few that pay for the PPV's.

And everything you said Roode should be doing was pointed out that he did yet you want to forget about that to try to prove a point that you keep changing whenever the facts you try to state turn out wrong. If you want to spend close to $50 to only see the last 3 seconds of a match since you just admitted that the entire 20 plus before it is irrelevant to you then that's your own fault & problem but you will never convince me that anything they would have done on these PPV's would have pleased you since you started to complain about something involving the show before the PPV started.

I think Robert Roode kicking Earl Hebner is smart move and funny at best, I can seriously think he is going off to bigger and better things.

A person who in retrospect has been claimed as one of the best heels in the past decade was J.B.L. & he was booked in the exact same fashion where he wasn't a dominate champion who just beat everyone in sight (that's how you get people to cheer you & NOT get over as a heel to be hated) but he was a smart champion to took advantage of the rules to keep his title or found some way to steal a win when his back was to the wall. As I've pointed out time & time again, Flair was booked in this same fashion during his NWA title reigns where he would keep the belt under questionable circumstances & not always get a clean finish as well but when he back was to the wall, he someone came out a victor to retain his title. Roode isn't the first successful champion to be booked in the manner & he won't be the last.

[NWAFAN]

Dude, I'm not the only one that has pointed this fact out. No one wants a champion that constantly gets himself DQed all the time "on purpose." And spare me the Flair lecture. Flair defininately won matches with the help of the Horsemen many times and he had his share of DQ's, but he WON plenty of matches. Getting DQed WAS NOT his gimmick as it has become Roode's.

[4 Gold Scorpio]

Constantly gets DQ becomes a gimmick after 1 time...please spare me. And I'll mention Flair as many times as I feel like it because it still applies & you can try to do the WON plenty of matches all you want but if you want to compare his length of championship title wins to the amount of times he's screwed wrestlers or cheated throughout the NWA & other territories to the actual number championship matches Roode has had as well in a short time...they are pretty even as I don't have to look further than his feud with Lex Luger when he only beat Luger once (still cheated to do it) & screwed him over with a b.s. finish every other match they've had. It's called looking at the facts of what actually has happened instead of only focusing on one thing, ignoring everything else, and drawing conclusions that are no way true.
