It’s such a shame that after a phenomenal entrance and a good match, Bobby Roode’s in-ring debut was tarnished by an uber-lame finisher, a pump-handle slam dubbed the Glorious Bomb.

No, seriously.

Road Dogg must’ve insisted on that one, but thankfully, Roode didn’t hump his opponent like Jesse James used to.
