For fans who have followed Bobby Roode's career since the beginning, they know that he has been continually frustrated in his attempts to get to and stay at, the main event level.

In TNA wrestling, he was the first part of an ensemble (Team Canada) before a failed makeover attempt into a Million Dollar Man clone. While still technically the stockbroker character, he entered into a tag team with James Storm based mostly upon the fact the company didn't know what to do with either man.

However, lightning struck and the duo became known as Beer Money, one of the most celebrated tag teams in Impact history. Their feud with the Motor City Machine Guns paved the path for a lot of modern wrestling style.

He did ascend to the role of world champion, but it was short lived and soon he found himself struggling for attention in an increasingly crowded Impact locker room.

His jump to NXT and the Glorious character seemed to add that secret ingredient that had been missing from Bobby Roode. He was insanely over as champion and was hastily called up to the main roster of Smackdown--where he was put into a midcard role. Now on Raw, he continues to languish when he should be utilized in the world title picture.
