History YMMV / BobbyRoode

*** On that note, [[EngineeredHashtag #GloriousBomb]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]A series of short videos with Roode and NXT peers Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa and Gargano turn on "Glorious" in some random location where Bobby Roode is. Roode notices them, stares at them from behind (facing the camera phone one of them is holding), and finally nods his acknowledgement and goes back to his business, and they nod in glee that he approved. A top contender is the one in which they interrupted his bedtime, not only because of the hilarious absurdity of the situation, but also because Roode took so long to react ({{facepalm}}ing in annoyance well before nodding in approval) the song got to the first full chorus before the video cut.[[/labelnote]]

** And then ''Takeover: San Antonio'' happened. First, ANOTHER spectacular entrance, only this time with eight fine ladies in tow. The entire arena once again singing him to the ring, to face the NXT Champion Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura who has his own spectacular entrances. What happened was a very back and forth match with Roode using his infuriating Americanized heel tactics to get under the skin of Nakamura. After Shinsuke hurts his own knee on a [[FinishingMove Kinshasa]] attempt, Roode finds his opening. After a Canadian Maple Leaf [[UpToEleven WITH added punches to the knee]] and TWO Glorious DDTs, Roode becomes NXT Champion! I repeat, Bobby Roode [[HolyShitQuotient DEFEATED SHINSUKE NAKAMURA FOR THE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP]].

** His entrance for ''Takeover: Toronto'' tops the Brooklyn one with its sheer awesomeness. A choir singing a prelude to his theme with the crowd chanting "Glorious"... and then the piano hits, and Roode comes out, with everyone in the arena singing his music. It helps that Toronto is Roode's home turf, but it's also his opponent, Tye Dillinger's home turf. In fact, people were chanting "This is awesome!" and "Both these guys!", clearly indicating their status as NXT Universe's favorites.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Both his TNA top {{heel}} theme "Off the Chain" (instrumental) and his NXT theme "Glorious Domination" are goosebumps-inducing epics, especially upon first hearing. Especially "Glorious Domination", which has been hailed as a CFO$ masterpiece to the point of becoming the third WWE Music posted track to reach a million views after Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura and Wrestling/AJStyles' themes and being enthusiastically sung along with in his incredible BigEntrance at ''NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 2''.

** The entrance for his first NXT main broadcast match at ''Takeover: Brooklyn 2'', AKA the greatest entrance Roode has ever made to a ring. Emerging from the [[Wrestling/WadeBarrett Bad News Barrett]] scissor-lift covered in blue drapes with a graphic of a heavenly sky behind you and a spotlight on you, with said lift slowly descending as you extend your arms in a display of grandiose ego while clad in a classic villainous robe, is one thing. ''[[UpToEleven Being serenaded by an entire crowd of damn near 20,000 people singing the chorus of your entrance song while you're doing this, and all just before your first televised WWE match?]]'' There's a reason that shit-eating grin found its way to his face despite his best efforts. Everything that Bobby Roode accomplished in his career prior was validated by landing him in that spot — making his NXT in-ring debut full of credibility with that song in tow, and absolutely lavished by a jam-packed audience despite being a heel. He not only won that match, against Andrade "Cien" Almas[[note]]the former La Sombra from Wrestling/{{CMLL}}[[/note]], he completely took the crowd from Cien without even trying.

*** In another Download Festival NXT match he took a Bayley-to-Belly Suplex, just to pop the crowd.

** '''''GLORIOUS!'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]It's all over his NXT theme song, he says it to end every promo, it's his main word to use to describe himself — that word has instantly become the Bobby Roode thing.[[/labelnote]] On that note, [[EngineeredHashtag #GloriousBomb]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]A series of short videos with Roode and NXT peers Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.

** '''BOBBY ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'''[[note]]Certain ring announcers, when announcing his name (especially TNA's Jeremy Borash), tend to drag on the initial syllable of his last name yet peter out and go near-silent at the "de".[[/note]]

-->'''''GLOOO-RIOUS!'''''

* EarWorm: His new NXT theme. ''GLORIOUS!''

** Averted with the first two years of his solo run as he was easily the most hated heel in TNA (at least prior to Wrestling/AcesAndEights and Team Dixie, and even then he was only second to the stables' {{Big Bad}}s), not even getting cheers when he's teaming with TNA's biggest DILP, Wrestling/AustinAries.

* DracoInLeatherPants: The fans cheered for Beer Money so much they got turned face as a result. Doesn't help that both Roode and Storm had such great chemistry together. Averted now that he's on his own as he easily the most hated heel in TNA, not even getting cheers when he's teaming with TNA's biggest DILP, Wrestling/AustinAries.

* MoralEventHorizon: Has gone over it multiple times since winning the title. From beating down his best friend to spitting in Dixie Carter's face to mocking Storm's late brother and father's passing, if there's a line, Roode has forgotten where it was.
