Robert Roode reminds me of
 

what? Rude was the top heel in WCW in the early 90's. And he worked the Main Event program with Warrior in '90. And it's Curt Hennig :mad:

Wouldn't call them main eventers though. Probably should have been for Hennig and Rude. Douglas did fine in ECW too.

I would have said that Robert Roode is a rip-off JBL's gimmick but its your opinion!!!!

Probably the robe, but some stuff he does reminds me of Tully

Rhoode is amazing, and yeah Rude was a main eventer in a major company. Beat Flair for the title no less.

And it's Curt Hennig.

They do now.

Rick Rhude and Robert Rhoode

What you think H's grow on trees? Had to steal it from some one.

I think they took it from HBK. With his current caveman look, not too many hearts are breaking.

So he's BK now? Someone's gonna get sued...

Or I guess he's BM really...and that's way worse...

So fucking hot.

ANyways, BDC you say this like a bad thing. I am sure most guys would die for that comparison or similar careers.

Very true.

SO because you think he looks and works like them, he is going to die in his sleep?

He reminds me of Scott Norton. Great worker, no personality.

Dont you ever talk about Scott Norton again.



Scott Norton is one of my three all time favorites. I will fucking kill you.

SCOTT NORTON WILL POWERBOMB YOUR SOUL.

wonder how scott norton would do with james storm would he make him look good like walker and rude

Scott Norton can make any tag team. Add him with anyone, let them do the talking, and him do the lifting. God, he could have been so big in WCW. Fucking Hogan ruining WCW until the NWO came around, and by that time he was in japan 90 percent of the time.


I cant think of anyone tjhat pinned Norton clean other than Goldberg in the WCW NWO years.

The only thing that I connect between Roode & Hennig is their finishers... Though Roode & Rude are very similar, they both seem to have had a kind of legit toughguy charisma. And for some reason, I can see Roode doing a "Look out, he's gonna SNAP!" gimmick in the future, like what Scott Steiner was doing when he was winning titles in WCW. He would need a badass tap-out finisher for that though, something like a Stretch Muffler. Just imagine, Roode's having a match with somebody like Jay Lethal, and middle of the match, he just goes batshit & DEMOLISHES the guy's knee. That would be awesome.

Roode reminds me of that guy that tags with "Cowboy" James Storm.
I really dig James Storm more than anyone else on the TNA roster that hasn't worked for a major company.

Beer Money, Inc. are apparently pretty fucking awesome as a tag team. More power to them.

One thing to keep in mind is that it is much easier to win a World Title these days then it was in the time of the guys mentioned. Roode could very easily get it done.

Rick Rude and Curt Henning are two of the best, and most respected workers in the history of the industry, so no, I'd say it isn't a bad thing.

And just because Henning wasn't a main event heel, doesn't mean he wasn't good enough to be in that position.

Wasn't Curt Hennig like an AWA World Heavyweight Champion? Not sure the story there, but wasn't the AWA like a top promotion for a time? It's not like Hennig never won anything in his career.

Hennig was the champ in AWA at the start of its decline through no fault of his own. There was just nobody for him to fight

Oh, and Roode reminds me of Tully Blanchard.

oh and rude was the champ in WCCW

But on the WCCW dvd they say the title wasn't a major title in the industry. Now I'm sure for that area it would have been big, but it wasn't the NWA title.

I liked Shane in ECW. In wCw he was pretty much a joke.
