Why didn't Roode become a top guy in WWE even for a while?
Juan Rodriguez
Lucas Wright
Vince generally doesn't like non-WWE guys and Roode is a TNA guy. Vince was going to bury AJ but backed off because he was so over.
Noah Scott
SNORIUS
NO I WONT TUNE IN
I WONT TUNE IN
HE'S BORING US
Kevin Lopez
GLORIOUS
Evan Flores
Like so many, he's burdened with the lingering odor of TNA
Nicholas Moore
Why would they push James Storm's jannetty?
Xavier Sullivan
Putting him in a tag team with Ziggler was a death sentence.
Dylan Murphy
He didn't have the height to make up for the Vince intangibles
Zachary Peterson
Didn't stop them from pushing Lashley and McIntyre
Jace Foster
he was too old when he came over
>Vince was going to bury AJ

Gabriel Johnson
>Didn't stop them from pushing Lashley and McIntyre
Lashley and Drew started in WWE and went to TNA. They were Ex-WWE guys, not TNA shitters
Matthew Parker
Who were both in WWE first and Vince tried pushing them for years?
Landon Martinez
Two problems
>Former TNA guy
>Former Haitch NXT guy
he allowed AJ to break through because he is also a NJPW guy who Vince respects, and AJ once flew across the world on extremely short notice for Vince
Owen Evans
AJ said in an interview just recently Vince didn’t think the crowd would know who AJ was
Kayden Edwards
He is awesome and has one of the best entrances ever.
Logan Scott
he said he heard someone say that, he didnt say vince told him that. regardless, so what?
Tyler Diaz
>Why didn't X become a top guy in WWE?
because WWE sucks lmao
Evan White
Bobby Roode looks like that faggot Dan Bilzerian. He's just a generic asshole no better than Dash and Wheeler. I don't think I even know what his voice sounds like, that's how little that ugly mother fucker has spoken in WWE.
Hudson Morales
He is old and was a good boy and sold instead of being a no selling Chad. In wwe, as soon as Vince watches you selling and looking weak he pegs you as a midlevel guy. You have to look strong or be fart joke funny to win him over.
Adam Morales
Because when he debuted on the main roster:
>Brock, Roman and Braun were the main event scene on Raw
>AJ, Nakamura, Owens & Zayn were the main event scene on Smackdown
who would you have replaced with Roode?
Jaxson Murphy
>Zayn
Zayn has never been in the main event picture lel has he even ever had a 1v1 world title ppv match?
Brayden Butler
That fat fuck Steen should never sniff the main event scene until he gets his body in order and stops wrestling in a t-shirt and basketball shorts like the indie shitter he still is.
Nathan Rivera
Because he’s fucking boring and tremendously overrated. Solid hand. That’s it.
Massive headcanon
Thomas Flores
TNA is the only reason they were ever able to develop the character / promo skills they needed to be world champion.
Aiden Campbell
Roode looks like a mini-HHH. He was never "over". His theme song was. You faggots basedboys do this all the time nowadays. You think because a guys theme song is over he is in fact over. No they are too different things.
>Theme song being over means people sing along to it (without being forced) and are happy like a favorite song coming on the radio
>Wrestler being over means when their music hits crowd gasps and goes nuts
Faggots have been so starved of actually seeing an act be over that they don't remember what it looks or sounds like.
