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 world of sports and played hockey in high school and college.

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

In his early years with TNA, Bobby was the enforcer for the heel wrestling stable, Team Canada. His lead role in the group soon earned him the title – The Canadian Enforcer.

The stable was eventually disbanded in July 2006 by TNA Management Director Jim Cornette after they lost an eight-man tag team match against Team 3D, Jay Lethal, and Rhino. Following the dissolution of the group, Roode started going by the name “Robert Roode” and picked Traci Brooks as his manager. Over time, he formed alliances with various wrestlers and stables. He also had drawn out feuds with Booker T, Kaz, Kevin Nash, and eventually, former allies Christian Cage and Eric Young.
