Bobby Roode on TNA, His Favorite Entrance and Friends in WWE

Bobby Roode spoke with The Peter Borough Examiner about his drive in TNA/Impact, seeing friends go to NXT and his favorite entrance.

On losing his drive whilst in TNA/Impact Wrestling (as it was known at the time):

“To be honest, when I was with TNA, I just didn’t have the drive any more, I didn’t have the passion. It was unfamiliar territory to me, because I’ve always loved the business and I’ve always been passionate about it. It was the first thing that I thought of when I woke up, last thing I thought about when I went to bed. I just didn’t have that any more.”

On seeing his friends flourish in NXT and what really gave him the draw to go:

“It was very intriguing to me. Honestly, I didn’t want to do anything else with my life. I knew that I still had a lot of really good years left in this business. I really wanted to get the opportunity to come to WWE. NXT was presented to me and I was very excited about the opportunity that was given.”

On his NXT ‘TakeOver: Toronto’ entrance, complete with the choir back-up:

“It was fun. That was one of my favorite ones actually, the one with the choir. I think it was 80, 84 people in the choir and just coming up from underneath the stage. Being in my hometown, of course, at the Air Canada Centre, that was probably my most memorable entrance by far.”
