First coming together in 2008, James Storm and Bobby Roode gelled well as Beer Money Inc in TNA. Originally, both men had characters vastly different from the other. Storm's beer-drinking 'Cowboy' gimmick contrasted wildly with Roode's more traditional heel schtick. Somehow, the pair were able to become one of TNA's greatest ever tag-teams.

So popular were Beer Money that TNA couldn't resist a short reunion earlier this year. This had followed Storm's brief tenure in NXT, somewhere Bobby Roode is making waves today. Speaking to ESPN, Roode addressed his current relationship with his former tag partner.

ESPN wanted to know if Bobby had asked his former on-screen buddy for advice about the WWE system. It appears he hasn't, because Roode said that he and Storm haven't even conversed since the last time they were in a room together.

Remarkably, Roode told the media outlet that he hasn't even uttered one word to James Storm since departing TNA in March. That will surprise some, especially considering how long Beer Money teamed together in TNA.
