Robert Roode, a Real Superstar whether Hogan says it or not

If anyone knows Mr Main Event BDuB like they claim they do, they understand that I am one of the biggest Hulkamaniacs in the world. But one thing in this world I understand, not all good things last forever. Hulkamania is one of them. Sure I was happy to see Hogan return to the WWE in 2002 and become undisputed champion. Sure I was happy to see him become apart of TNA and hoping that he could possibly turn the company into a legit competitor for the WWE. But I do understand that he should not be a "power of be."

What should a superstar possess in the world of professional wrestling? They must have in-ring ability, regardless whether or not they use it every match like Ric Flair did. They must have charisma, the ability to make you love them or love to hate them. They must have microphone skills, the ability to make a crowd listen and be captured by their words.

Personally, I do not watch TNA as much as the average person. The product is simply hard to follow and become attached to. This is my opinion. However, I will never forget the night that I saw that Robert Roode and he captured me by his words. On this night he told Hogan face to face that they say you should never meet your childhood idols, because they will disappoint you. The way he approached the microphone and stood toe to toe with the biggest icon in the history of professional wrestling truly displayed that he was ready. A few weeks later, Hogan himself went on a radio show and indicated that Roode has a bright future in this business. Then months later he stated that Roode is not ready, and is a mid-carder at best. Really?

As "The Real" Dwayne Allen (dwayneallen24 on twitter) said, "great players do not make great coaches, look at Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson." The point he is making, these guys think because they are talented and were also  hard workers, that no matter how much you work if you are not talented, then you will not achieve the same type of success. We all witnessed what Hogan, Bischoff and Russo did to WCW. A company that stood to toe to toe with Vince McMahon go straight down the drain in less than 3 years. Will Roode ever reach Hulkamania status, probably not. But he surely has the potential to rise to the occasion and bring new life into TNA. With a guy like that on the Horizon, and Triple H in the front office of the WWE, one can only imagine what he could do on a stage like WrestleMania!
