Bobby Roode WWE (The Glorious) Bio

Robert Francis Roode Jr. was born in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada on May 11, 1977. Robert grew up with a love for the sports world and played high school and college hockey.

Roode spent a year under the tutelage of Canadian wrestling greats Sean Morley and Shane Sewell before he began appearing for various independent promotions in Canada. Bobby also appeared for the Puerto Rican promotion World Wrestling Council before signing for TNA Wrestling (also known as Impact Wrestling) in 2004.

In his early years with TNA, Bobby was the manager of the heel wrestling stable, Team Canada. His lead role in the group soon earned him the title – The Canadian Enforcer. They went on to fight likes of Team USA at the World Cup in 2004 and had ongoing feuds with stables like America’s Most Wanted and 3Live Kru (who later added a fourth member to become 4Live Kru) , winning and losing some against both groups.

The stable was eventually disbanded in July 2006 by TNA Executive Director Jim Cornette after losing an eight-man tag team match to Team 3D, Jay Lethal and Rhino. After the group disbanded, Roode began calling himself “Robert Roode” and chose Traci Brooks as his manager. Over time, he formed alliances with various wrestlers and stables. He had also drawn feuds with Booker T, Kaz, Kevin Nash and possibly former allies Christian Cage and Eric Young.
