– During a recent interview with the Dynasty Vipers Viper Cast, TNA wrestler Eric Young praised his former Team Canada stablemate, Robert Roode. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Eric Young on Robert Roode: “In my opinion, maybe the best professional wrestler. If you’re just marking off categories of what’s important in pro wrestling. Look, check. Ability to talk and be relatable, check. Athleticism, check. Believability, check. He just checked every single box. If I was to make a list of people that I had to wrestle a match every day for the rest of my life, and I hope that doesn’t happen, but if I had to, he’d probably be my number one choice for people.”

On Roode being one of the best to ever do it: “He’s one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. Never really got his full chance or never really got his due, but anybody that has done it or has worked with him would say almost the same things I’m saying. He’s one of the best to ever do it.”

Roode currently works as a producer behind-the-scenes for WWE.
