I don't want to jump the gun or as some like to call "Andrewism" but is Bobby Roode turning face? He got a good reaction screwing Austin Aries out of his championship match. I'm not sure if I would like that, Roode has been terrific as a heel.

What do you guys think?

I think he was just playing his normal character with screwing Aries because Aries screwed him, but the fans would definitely get behind him if he was to turn. I think it depends on how the want to use him. He has already feuded with most of the top faces and that could be motivation to try it. I think he stays heel though.

I wouldn't turn him yet, he works really well as a heel and I think that they can still get more out of him as a top heel. In the future I can see it though and I don't think he will find it too hard to become a fan favourite.

Same as Troy. Roode fits best as a heel and still has his best years in that role to come. I would leave it at least two years before switching him.

He wouldn't completely suck as a face though. In my opinion TNA fucked themselves over by turning Aries heel and Bully face. Seriously. If Roode were to turn face though, it would be quite interesting as the roles would be reversed.

Roode can play both a heel and a face just fine in my opinion, but I do agree that he should stay heel for a little bit longer just because he's so good at that.

Funny you said that, I was going to post a status but went nah, he's still heel. My initial reaction was Kurt's injured, are they just filling Roode in there for the hell of it? I still see Roode as a heel.
