Has there ever been a wrestler that was so dominated by his theme song? It’s his entire persona; his catchphrase, his finisher, his crowd chant..I like Roode, but damn that theme song is really all he is.
So where would Bobby be if they had just given him some generic rock music instead?

He'd be a more handsome Baron Corbin.

Honestly, I think what really blows my mind is how long they've kept him as a face on Smackdown. I mean, the guy works so well as a combination of Ric Flair and Rick Rude, but instead they're having him be a face...and all the face has is his "I'm GLORIOUS!" crap.
I mean, come on...this is what he should be:
But hey, 2017 is the year of "screw up every NXT call-up we have," so what do I know...

He'd be a hell of a lot more generic..not gonna lie. I like Bobby but...I feel there's a lot more things he could do if his character comes down to someone with an overflated sense of ego who thinks he's glorious...subtle things of nuance other than spinning his hips and throwing his arms up and yelling "glorious". It's he face turn stifling him the most though.

He's still be in NXT. Maybe already gone back to his Buddy James to reform Cash Beers for the 7 millionth time.
Dudes already terrible with his gifted GLORIOUS personality, I can't imagine WWE version him without it.

He might actually be less annoying on the Mic Really glorious is all he's got. He's not very good in the ring, and ok on the Mic.

I actually think having him as a face is a good touch. Smackdown is overloaded with heels and no solid faces outside Nak.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that the song is all he’s got. If he didn’t have that gimmick who’s to say he wouldn’t have a better one? The guy has talent and is a great worker.

The issue with Roode is that as a character he's far better as a heel but in-ring he's a much better face, so he just kind of sucks at both as a solo guy and is best off in a tag team where someone can make up for his deficincies in either direction.

If you took away that song and kept everything else about his current WWE run intact, I think that he'd be getting Del Rio tier reactions.

But hey, 2017 is the year of "screw up every NXT call-up we have," so what do I know... This is seriously harsh, unfair and untrue. Every year is the year of "screw up every NXT call-up we have", not just this year.

Fun Fact, GLORIOUS was originally intended for Shinsuke Nakamura Seriously. Yep, CFO$ originally were going for this Queen-esqhe anthem as tribute to Nakamura's character in NJPW. Nakamura didnt want the theme and CFO$ went back to the drawing board and ultimately came up with one of the greatest themes in wrestling history. As for 'Glorious' Bobby actually didn't want it either and Triple H basically begged him to accept the theme and the rest is history. I mean, I don't know if Bobby would be as bland as people think he'd be without the theme but he is definitely looking like a one trick pony in his WWE run. He was plenty over and well liked for over a decade there before ever becoming glorious. I'm sure he would have found a way to adjust. I don't think he'd be as over without the theme though

The Sandman might come close...but he did what was expected of his character and the style of the promotion he was in, and he was still over outside of the entrance.

More trash than he is now.
I've learned these past few years is never listen to FAN's majority opinion regarding wrestlers. Bobby Roode is worse than one of those 3 Nicki tracks she dropped months ago.
