The glorious Robert Roode had quite a career in TNA before he arrived in WWE, especially as a member of the tag team- Beer Money, Inc with James Storm. Between the two of them, Robert Roode and 'Cowboy' James Storm have multiple title reigns. You may even remember Robert Roode's time in Team Canada, in the early days of TNA.

Yes, Roode earned many tag team accolades while he was in TNA, but he was also a legitimate singles star, as fans may be aware. He's been the TNA World Heavyweight Champion on not one but two separate occasions during his stint with the company. Robert Roode carried this momentum to NXT as well, where he captured the NXT Championship, but his main roster stint hasn't been nearly as...glorious.

Bobby Roode is one of those guys who is destined to go into the TNA Hall of Fame someday, once he's done wrestling in WWE. However, at the age of 43, he's showing so signs of slowing down at all.
