What did they mean by this?

I'm ashamed to say Roode was the last time I was hyped for anything wwe.

The true kino NXT experience

So he just stopped wrestling and retired?

I'm still fucking mad at what they did to Bobby. He was the only fucking reason I watched TNA and when he got to wwe and went to main roster I was really excited to see what he'd do
Which was, of course, nothing.
Fuck me
>>19685957
He got a neck injury and decided it was time to just be a backstage guy

>>19685779
I should have known he was going to get fucked on when he got to main roster as a face instead of a heel

Remmber when they had Bobby beat Nakamura for the US title just so he could job to Randy for it then jobbed to Jinder again at Mania just so Vince could bury Rusev again?

>they originally made this song for nakamura
more proof wwe is full of bumbling tards

>>19686102
Wasn’t the US Title storyline heading into WM34 over a Top 10 List?

I enjoyed this run a lot. The synthesis of the two types of the Man of the 80s, wearing dimes gear

well yea, a gay LA glam metal guy and a rick rude manly man type

>>19686110
They probably got told Nakamura loves Queen and went from there

You guys don't understand that beer money was absolute dimes

>>19686381
I just happened to be watching TNA during the episode where Roode turned heel on James Storm and took the belt from him. Was kino

>>19686229
Would have been better if they had been treated better overall, but at least they're buddies rl so Dolph got to pull to let Bobby do something on TV the last bit before retirement

>>19686381
Beer Money Inc might legit be my favorite tag team of all time, I loved those niggas

>>19686381
That period of TNA is what made me love wrestling. Shit was so retarded and based.

>>19686396
>>19686418
>>19686442
Ok maybe you do some of you are alright

>>19686418
It was such a stupid wrestling idea that ended up working in spite of itself. It would be like if IRS had Undertaker as his tag partner instead of Dibiase and they called it Death & Taxes but somehow it was Based.

>IRS had Undertaker as his tag partner instead of Dibiase and they called it Death & Taxes but somehow it was Based.

>implying that wouldn't be absolutely based

>>19686407
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I think by the time Roode dropped the robe and they got matching gear and a tag team song, they were already not on TV as much. Though I barely remember anything from the pandemic era.

>>19686102
Vince hasn’t had any power over WWE since 2005

>>19685248
GLORIOUSLY ruined his career.
Complains about TNA
Big leagues himself
Goes to wwe.
Gets shafted and put in nxt
Does a few raws/smackdowns
Gets forced to wrestle green horns
1 breaks his fucking neck
Has his collar bone fused to his neck
Cant turn neck 180 to the left anymore
In pain all the time
Poppin pills daily
Wwe does zero with you afterwards
Insurance company being dicks

He is this generations Rick Rude

>>19685248
what ever happened to this nigga

>>19686229
What the fuck was this team called?
Raw dogs?
Dirty dogs?
Dirty something..
Anyway, i fucking hated this team up because it was missing something - that's more on the script maybe but I remember always thinking they were at some level phoning it in promos and segments.

>>19686473
>Undertaker & IRS could have been Death & Taxes and been the biggest tag team of the decade
I respect you bookerman, get this fucking guy the pencil.

Dirty dogs, yeah. Though, again, as I remember, they only called themselves that and were announced simply as dolph and roode, and by the time the tag team became whole, either they got written off or I stopped watching. I think they were feuding with street profits? Fuck if I remember
>Big E was champion at that time
Yeah I guess I wasn't watching anymore

Miss him

>>19686658
I think I saw all of Big-E's run, it's definitely in the latter stage 'Old Man booking like shit' - eras, one of them. I think I remember them doing the 'Glorious' for Roode a few events and then dropping them before this tag team so that's probably what soured me on them on the get go, but it was also that beside chancing the title the were unremarkable.

individually I think Dolph is a fantastic talent and Roode is a bit of a tragic story in wrestling that could have been a all time great but hey he made the choice to work there and still gets money out of it so.. I'll put it on Vince, just like later Dolph coming to ringside and kicking Theory in the face and that never amounting to anything.
