Thankfully, he didn't give in, he didn't give in...till he was victorious!
As much of a wrestling fan as Bobby Roode was, throughout his life, he wanted to be a professional hockey player, because hockey is in every Canadian's blood! At the age of 19, he realized that he wasn't going to make it in hockey, and decided to focus on wrestling instead, as revealed in the interview below.

Another career that he once considered was that of a law enforcement officer, as he revealed on the Colt Cabana Podcast. Ultimately, every road led him to wrestle, and Roode has achieved the kind of success that others can only dream of. We are glad, and we wish him all the best for the future.
