Robert Roode reminds me of
Shane Douglas, Rick Rude and Kurt Henning. Which isn't a good thing as none of those guys ever went on to be a main eventer in a good promotion.
Same thing with Kennedy. |

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

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

ECW was never a big promotion, especially when Douglas was in it.

I'm not talking about gimmicks, but you right, he is kinda like JBL. But his build and kinda bland style reminds me of those other 3.

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. |

Good, just making sure we still have Triple H, and not Single H.

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

Henning and Roode are dead, and Douglas is dead to me. It is kind of a bad thing.

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. |

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