Robert Roode 5/5/11 Promo

Bobby Roode's anti-Hogan promo from the May 5th, 2011 episode of Impact.

[@RashadSims-bh3zz]

that was one of the best promos ive seen in a while next to cm punk promo

[@RashadSims-bh3zz]

one of the best promos in tna is this a bobby roode as a face

[@WHALER66]

This was one of the best shoot promo's I've seen. Preach on Brother Roode...... Hogan and Bischoff are nothing but self serving vampires who couldn't run a wrestling company if you drew them a map. I loved the fact that he stood up for Jay Lethal too, that needed to be said. A good man with a passion for the business got a pink slip.

[@mallorycarll6280]

Bobby Roode just laying it in to Hulk Hogan. What an incredible promo and what a moment for Bobby. So happy to finally see him in the WWE where he can spend whatever time he has left on the biggest stage of his career.

[@HotWheelsDavid100]

Best promo Rhoode has ever cut, He's part of the future guys in TNA!

robert roode gave one of the most heartwarming speeches a have ever heard in my life

[@rashadsims7255]

kyrudo that was heartful shit one of his best face promos

[@greatmuta311]

I remember this was a great promo!! I think a lot of the guys felt the way Roode did.

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

This promo made Roode a main eventer in TNA

[@devinabraham2625]

I love that Hogan said: "You're next!". That's right, he's the next WWE GLORIOUS Champion

[@FaysalIsGoated]

This was the moment people started taking Roode seriously. And then he became the longest reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion in TNA history

[@parisbeech2180]

Old TNA before Hulk and Bischoff was amazing :(

[@stevensaidsomething]

ownedweezybaby Yes! They had so many stars. I'll list the ones I loved off the top of my head: AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, James Storm, Eric Young, Christian Cage (a fully-utilized Christian), Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Jay Lethal, Abyss.

[@DirewolfGOT]

This is when I saw him for more than a top TNA talent, so glad hes come to NXT, hoping his stay lasts longer than Storms did and is more eventful than Young's has been

[@seanblaze4788]

imagine if beer money inc came to WWE🙌

[@deriusbrown25]

Where the heck is this Bobby Rhoode at. Oh I forgot WWE holds talent back

[@CanadianWarMachine]

This promo cemented for me that Roode was not just a tag team wrestler. Cemented to me that he could carry the company. Cemented to be that Roode was money. Cemented to me that Roode was a STAR!!

[@rambowitdaammo]

Thats one of the best promos ive ever seen!!! Fuk had me on edge of my seat! "hogan you listen to me you son of a bitch" haha fukin love it!! Go fortune!!!

[@mr.wright9867]

This.....was the money promo that made Bobby Roode.

[@80Slashers]

Bobby Roode aka the best in the world at what he does. I love how this was over half a year ago, before he received a push and he was still kicking ass on the mic.

[@bruiserweight550]

Fast forward to 2022 and Roode is just another guy on WWE roster.

[@ericfuchs123]

GLORIOUS

[@jenniferantoine3666]

Wow Bobby Roode sure told Hulk Hogan off 👍👍👍👍

[@hamadhumaid1984]

2:42 "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU EARNED, HULK HOGAN?"

[@rhapsodyshadow_]

This promo might be one of TNA's greatest promos of all time. I love how Robert Roode spoke not only from the heart, but with authority. This was a great episode of Impact by far. :)

[@SamShepherd-ef7qk]

Robert Roode/Bobby Roode/Bobby Rude, whether he was in TNA, still in WWE, babyface or heel or in-between, standing up to Hulk Hogan and Immortal took serious guts to cut a promo for the fans and Jay Lethal and back then, before he betrayed James Storm to win the World Title, meant a lot to the younger generation and for the future of pro-wrestling and earned my respect.

[@CanadianWarMachine]

THIS is why Bobby Roode will be the next World Heavyweight Champion and this is why Bobby Roode will be a GREAT Champ

[@RashadSims-bh3zz]

One word passion from that promo

[@brad31bw]

Anyone else here after he finally changed it back?

[@Romulan2469]

Incredible promo that is 100% true. Hogan is a backstabbing piece of trash who hops from one company to another because of his own greed, without any morals or respect for anyone apart from himself. It's a shame Warrior is gone and Hogan is still here.

[@bobjones3074]

Dude Warrior is a piece of shit to, just because someone dies doesn't exonerate them from being a total douchebag

[@Romulan2469]

Bob Jones Maybe not, but it is unwise to speak ill of the dead.

[@AakashBalajiCyborg]

More likes its a shame SAVAGE is gone

I wish we had this Bobby Roode in WWE, not some jobber / mid-card talent on live TV. I hope one day we get this Bobby Roode back whether its back on NXT, back on iMPACT! where he made his name, in the NWA if need be, or even AEW. Either way, this Roode is what the fans wants

[@TheTitofan1]

He had to much of a hhh look so never going to happen on wwe tv

[@TattahitotsunoEsbee]

I don't watch much TNA, but how is this guy NOT world champion material?

Great promo this is at the cm punk promo

[@rashadsims7255]

[@QiJSimy]

4:49 Matt Hardy before he went broken.

[@mightybk]

Roode has been letting loose with some great promos since Fortune turned on Immortal, including this one and the one the week after the turn. They need to get him "healthy" and let him loose.

[@DKfan87]

@icewatercube. If you wanna hear something that you probably know already? Technically, Jeff Jarrett is a former WWE employee. He was close friends/tag team partners with the late Owen Hart. At some point of some of the TNA roster's careers, they were in WWE as well. So, technically some of the roster of TNA have been associated with the World Wrestling Federation.

[@Blitzkrieg1321]

it used to be rober roode, he goes by bobby roode now

[@adrenochromejoe7448]

All the guys in the ring have left TNA (Storm sort of did). Who is still here: Matt & Abyss

This really examplafies how annoyed TNA staff are with Hogan, Bishoff and anyone else screwing with the company.

[@hamadhumaid1984]

This show happens before the appearance of the Network representative and that person happens to be WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley

[@t4d0W]

@Dalyxman he's long been due one anyway considering him and Storm are a few of the home grown TNA talents who are still around and getting pops from the crowd.

[@KleboldWF]

I'M HERE BECAUSE SOMEONE POSTED THIS ON WRESTLING FORUM

[@Renwick19]

Lol isn’t it ironic how Roode cut this promo about Hogan stealing and raping from TNA when a year later Roode turned heel and became the leader of the selfish generation screwing Janes Storm out of the TNA World Title and doing every dirty trick in the book to keep it

[@jayleatherwood7115]

Finlly he became a man and stand up

[@cameronchesters5300]

I love the look Styles gives Roode at 0:56 when Bobby mentions Flair, as it hadnt been that long since AJ was in a storyline being the "next Nature Boy" lol

Yea. To think the old wrestlers, stars and official's that made wrestling special in the past are ruin it for everyone today.

[@128gzcu0]

There's one tiny problem with this promo- Roode's CANADIAN

[@diegoacuna9889]

Antony Hamilton Then why Roode has been 2-time TNA World Champion, the longest reigning TNA World Champ, and in NXT, became NXT Champion?

​@@diegoacuna9889don't forget 6-time TNA World Tag Team Champion

[@AnimeJason2011]

That monologue reminds me of what professional wrestling is all about. Even in this climate today, whenever backstage politics or factions like The Jericho Appreciation Society and Honor No More try to ruin this great sport with their kayfabe-breaking malarky and such, I will always think of the moment Bobby Roode said his piece to Hulk Hogan regarding why wrestling and all of its history should be preserved for future generations. Imagine someone saying the same thing to Eddie Edwards if the opportunity knocks. Keep that in mind, people. Anything could happen. 😉

[@hamadhumaid1984]

So, Jay lethal got fired by the Hulkster? If I were the president of TNA I would never fire Jay Lethal I've seen how he fights the man is a high-flyer and he's got a lot of potential for his career

[@stevenzelinski7963]

Roode is Awesome in the Ring

[@t4d0W]

@EnjiBEARatsu the funny part is WHILE Roode/Storm have worked their tails off, Meth Hurrdy is still getting sympy from TNA management so instead of him working his way back the ladder, TNA will throw him in there because they are desperate for ratings and attention and will use WWE rejects to get it. "Modest to the top" he says!

[@greenelf12]

Awsome

[@Doollover08]

Is this when Roode started to be called Bobby Roode more instead of Robert Roode?

[@Cosmic86x]

Bobby Roode has more wrestling talent in his little finger than Hogan is his whole wrinkled-up, tanned and roided up old carcass. He's a better wrestler and does better and more entertaining promos. And don't start with "Hogan made this business" and shit. He was a boring and overrated slob back in the 80's, in the 90's (most boring matches in WCW ever) and he's boring and overrated now!
