Better TNA Mid-Card Heel

[KingPopper]

These two pretty much make up TNA's mid-card heel roster. Both went solo around the same time, maybe Roode a month or two before.... Well anyways which out of the two do you like better?

[dpg]

James Storm is a very good heel, he knows how to rile a crowd and has a good character. Roode isn't as good in all those respects, however he is improving(slowly)

[KingPopper]

4 months ago I would have said Roode, but his endless fued with Eric Young kinda left him going no where.

[boiledewokthe3rd]

I can't tell them apart.

[comahan]

I absolutely love James Storm. Future main eventer.

[THE Dinobot]

If he would ever break away entirely from the everlasting Eric Young feud, perhaps it could be Roode, he certainly has the in-ring junk to go on to more promising storylines, but that whole program is dragging him down.
By default, will settle with Storm.

[leemir]

Roode is just so boring.

James Storm, I think he's TNA's answer to Edge. his promos are amazing and great. The Pub crawl and the AA meeting was hilarious! By next year he should really be TNA World Champion and he can actually wrestle as well.

Bobby Roode? I liked him as the Enforcer in Team Cnada he seemed really great there and reminded me alot of Arn Anderson mixed with Bradshaw, but his current gimmick is not working and does not come off rich at all, who thought of that crap. I thought he was getting back on track when he started teaming with Cage's Coalition and fighting with AJ over Christian's affections but it sort of died and so did my interest in him, and his current storyline is just a retread of the Eric Young storyline which was terrible.

Roode's been in decline since he sought out Traci's boobs as his manager.

Storm and Harris have actually been doing great since they split up. My only complaint is that I can't tell them apart.

Yeah, that pretty much does it for me too. I think Roode has better in ring skills but he has absolutely no character. Storm doesn't even have much to work with: the drinking, the cowboy stuff, but he's such a stronger character. Roode can have the valet, the robes, the notion that he's a hot commodity but he's as vanilla as they come as far as an on-sceen character goes.

The whole "lol i'm a fake drunk" bit is a bit annoying, I think. Not as annoying as the whole Eric Young contract debacle, though.

As for Bobby Roode he has potential I just don't like his current character and direction.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

James Storm's easily the more amusing at this point, and I maintain faith that he will eventually find Rhino.

[Andrew is Good]

He's a very mean individual. But in a good way. So him.

Exactly. Storm is more natural in his character, while we're supposed to believe that Roode is a Wall Street tycoon, when he never does anything related to the gimmick. And he's got one of the worst catchphrases of all time: "It pays to be Roode!"

Basically, he's like John Morrison without the main event push.

[machinegun]

James Storm by a mile

[Hensley]

Storm!!!

[Timmy8271]

James Storm by far.

[MGH]

James Storm is good enough to be champion of that company.

[Dolph Zalgo]

This is such a mismatch. James Storm is pure awesomeness in his heelishness, while Roode seems like a sorry joke.
