Former RAW General Manager and ex-WCW President Eric Bischoff took to his podcast, Bischoff On Wrestling, to comment on Bobby Roode’s recent WWE main roster debut. Here are the highlights:
Could Roode succeed as a main eventer: “I think Bobby Roode has all of the talent in the world to be successful anywhere on the card, including the main event. I can’t say enough good things about Bobby Roode. As a human being, as a performer… I am just surprised it has taken this long quite frankly. I expected Bobby to kind of explode out of the scene much the same way AJ Styles did. I can’t say enough good things about him.”
Does he wish Roode and AJ Styles got their current opportunity in WWE sooner: “No. They are where they are because of what they learned, because of the experience and because of the journey. Both AJ and Bobby, neither one of them are injury prone. I still think they’ve got a lot of runway left in them. I really, really do. They are great athletes, unbelievably talented, smart, they know how to conduct themselves both in and out of the ring. All of that will lead to a lot of longevity in my opinion. I think we are going to be seeing AJ Styles and Bobby Roode for a long time to come.”
