| | Quote: | According to an interview with The Peterborough Examiner, Robert Roode and TNA have come to terms on a new contract. Roode made the following comments…
"My contract is put away and I've re-signed for five years with TNA. I'm very happy about it. They wanted to sign me to a long-term deal. Most contracts are one to three years, but they wanted to keep me around for five. I'm quite pleased.
For now, I don't know what the future will hold for me, but signing the long-term deal is a good sign that in time they'll branch me off into a singles guy again. There are guys in our company right now -- like Kurt Angle, Booker T and Kevin Nash-- who are in their 40s and their careers are near the end. Mine is just peaking.
The company is looking toward their future and I think they'll mould me into one of their spots down the road. We'll have to see what happens, but I think that's what is going to be the case."

| Yeah I heard I signed a few days ago, I've been saying for a few years now that he is one of the most convincing heels in the business right now. Reminds me a lot of Tully Blanchard. Anyone remember when they had the Angle Alliance and Roode was helping out for a couple of weeks? I thought that could have been used as a good platform to take him to the next level, but they just dropped it completely. |

| Roode reminds me a lot like an old 80s heel, Jake Roberts, Ted Di Biase and Tully Blanchard, been saying so for a while, I heard he signed a few days ago too but this is the first time iv saw it confirmed |

| Yeah i can see a bit of Di Biase in him, but I don't really think there's anybody out there today who is like Roberts. Jake The Snake had a style all of his own, the only person I can think of who has shared any similarity to him would be Raven. |
