#4 The IT Guy Bobby Roode

Far from Glorious!
Far from Glorious!

Watching Bobby Roode on RAW one feels a sense of pity for him. Fear pervaded when the veteran transferred from NXT to the main roster. After all, his theme song is Glorious and his character work on NXT basic but stellar. Unfortunately knowing the main roster, his run would become all about the entrance music.

It did and that is where Roode is now stuck. A former US Champion, he is swimming in the lower pool of Monday Night RAW with nothing to do. Bobby Roode was once a main event tier talent not just in Impact but NXT as well.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

It all comes down to his 'IT Factor' still drowned out somewhere in the entrance music. Roode's character work is impeccable, as the egotistic suited heel, he oozes charisma and power. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know that seeing RAW. It's not just about a simple heel turn, but a complete reinvention to tap into what made him the 'IT Guy'.
