Burning Hammaaaaah!!!
I haven't really seen too much discussion about Roode as Champion so I thought I'd throw it out there.
For a while now on these boards, people have compared him to Triple h, due to his old school mic and in ring styles. I would have to say now that he is Champion he reminds me of HHH in another way. And that is how great he is at being Champion.
HHH wasn't really all that entertaining until he became this heel champ that ran over the WWF in 2000. now in 2011, Roode is doing the same, and I gotta say he looks great with the big gold belt around his waist (wish his entrance music wasn't so generic and country-ish though).
In any case as a heel, suit wearing World Champion Roode has been doing a great job, looking dominant and yet using heel tactics to retain his belt. I'm sure if the company keeps promoting him strong over the next few years in the main event spot (unlike continuously changing their minds such as the dropped mega push of Anderson), then Roode could really be one of the greats of this new decade, much the same as HHH was talked about in 2000's.
Having the Championship strengthens his character ten fold like it did with Flair and HHH before him, and with his old school, slow methodical in ring style he can really take it to another level.
Anyone else really enjoying Heel Champion Bobby Roode?
