But Cass is tall.
I don't know if you've noticed, but he's like seven feet*
*seven feet meaning 6'9"
Disagree. I've greatly enjoyed Roode's big matches this year.
Especially with Roddy and his first match with Nakamura.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Yes we're talking about looks not being the only thing that matters and being far from the most important as well.
If you're going to be a selfish dumb ass, do it during the bad matches, not when there's talent in the ring working their asses off.
Why pay hundreds of dollars to go to a major WWE PPV if your entire intent is to make a show of how little you care? It's fucking beyond stupid.

They were.
They were all good matches and the Reigns one was great and the first AJ one was very good.

I think he's great, but opinions on him vary wildly. His style is pretty slow.
3.5*

Roode is glorious. Guy has the 2nd best entrance in WWE.

Umm Roode has had three 4.25 to 4.5* matches this year...
And his match with MacIntyre was probably 3.75 or even 4 too.

I thought Roman caught one of those legs to the face. Turns out he was just selling that shit. Always looking out for Braun Braun.

I mean that is literally the only thing that he has going for him, he looks like a champ with that belt.

Terrible news. Poor guy.
If all he had to do was make that entrance the illusion would totally work.

I don't put any stock in Meltlzer star ratings. Saying x had x star match means nothing to me.

Lol. Whatever.
Roode is great. If you don't like his style whatever but to pretend like he hasn't had a great year is nonsense.

Agreed. I put more stock in whether a match can garner a "this-is-awesome" chant from the live crowd.
Really underestimating how difficult that is to pull off.

You're not gonna get any argument from me there. I'd much rather these people stopped buying tickets to main roster shows to send an actual financial message to them. WWE has been to Portland several times in the past few years and the only event I've paid to go to was an NXT house show.
That would actually show them how little you care.

Roode does that NWA heel shit really well, and I don't think the modern WWE universe is equipped to handle/appreciate that.

Bobby Roode reminds me of Triple H. A really solid, B+ wrestler.
In all the right ways.
Sunny was one of the few long timers to not shit all over me when I first started posting in WrassleGAF.
Actually, yeah.
excelsiorlef
Member
Yeah.
The NWA style is so good though. His matches with Nakamura were fantastic
Roode is the guy Hunter wishes he could have been as a wrestler
Triple H would've killed to be capable of being as good as Roode is

Did HHH take a picture with the NXT title..... I mean Drew?
I went to a RAW for free with a friend just before this past Mania and I regretted it.

Roode is more like a middle ground between Triple H and Ric. Triple H always wanted to be like Ric, but he was never that good. Roode is closer. Not as good as Ric, obviously, but closer to Ric than Triple H ever was.
It has nothing to do with style. He's not good, he's bland. He doesn't wrestle good matches and I don't have to pretend to dislike his matches. You and everyone else can keep on enjoying them. It doesn't bug me.

He's still technically a freelancer IIRC, so he probably just got a bigger money offer from ROH.
Maybe he wants to go gamble?
