10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were Nothing After A Great Entrance
6. Bobby Roode
Over the course of his two decades between the ropes, Bobby Roode has proven himself an exceptional professional wrestler. Outside of some underrated TakeOver main events however, this has simply not been his calling card as a WWE wrestler.
Making his instantly iconic entrance theme the central part of his presentation, Roode's gimmick stumbled when he couldn't be quite as "Glorious" in between the ropes. Whatever exactly that even is.
With a style that veered closer to something that Jim Ross would call "methodical" than anything matching the luminosity of his arrival, he'd perhaps never have garnered such attention and acclaim without the packaging, but the packaging wouldn't have been anywhere near as effective if a choir shouted "really good hand, won't hurt anybody and is very reliable" before the Brian May-style solos.
Without much obvious evidence that the company were ever going to push him as a serious headline concern, the only place to go from his debut was down.
