What a talent this man has. A tremendous athlete with a great look and a ton of charisma, Roode is the sort of wrestler that every promoter wants to book. Almost incidentally, hes also one of the best wrestlers currently working in the world today. In fact, its almost as if TNA fans are so used to excellent work from Roode, that they simply expect it from him and dont often offer the man the credit he deserves. Roodes current babyface run may take away from his true calling (as a spiteful, selfish heel), but it has propelled him, once more, into the World Title picture. Before that, a series of quality outings opposite Kurt Angle merely cemented his place as one of the best wrestlers around. Angle put Roode over like a pro and Roodes stock went even higher in the hearts and minds of wrestling fans all around the world. Bobby Roode, if promoted correctly, is the man to lead TNA forward into a new era, as long as TNA creative ensures that his reign as World Champ is a long and healthy one...
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!
If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it).
I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
Latcho Drom,
