4 Reasons Bobby Roode is the Next Triple H in WWE

3. Glorious!

Did you hear the 15,000+ Brooklyn fans chanting to Bobby Roode’s gloriously awesome “Glorious” theme music? Never ever underestimate the value of an amazing entrance. You can be the greatest in-ring specialist ever and if your music sucks nobody will care. Just ask Dean Malenko.

A wrestler’s music is their life blood. It tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. Randy Orton wasn’t “hearing voices” until his music said so. The Miz wasn’t a World Champion until his “Awwwwwsome!” theme song. In 1999-2000 during his emergence, HHH hit us with the perfectly-timely “My Time” theme (my personal favorite), and at the height of his powers he’s used the dominating Motorhead tune, “The Game”.

Look at the lyrics of Roode’s “Glorious:

No, I won’t give in
I won’t give in

’till I’m victorious
And I will defend
I will defend

And I’ll do what I must
No, I won’t give in
I won’t give in
Oh, so glorious
Until the end
Until the end

Everything about him is summed up in that beautiful, hymnal and orchestral score. His conceit, his resiliency, his arrogance, his self-centered focus on being the best. He won’t stop until he’s victorious. It’s possibly the best theme music WWE has had in years and couldn’t be more of a perfect fit for Roode, who showed up on NXT and acted like he owned the place and had the music that made us believe it.

The most important thing a wrestler’s music tells us is what the company thinks about them. Yeah, the worst guys tend to have the worst themes, too. It’s all about perception. Roode’s music tells us that not only does he think himself to be glorious, but the WWE thinks he is, too. Fans pick up on that. If you knew nothing about Roode or Andrade Almas you’d know who was going to win just based on the entrance. That stuff matters, and Roode is on the path to championship glory. His music tells us so.
