Eric Young praises Bobby Roode.
Eric Young and Bobby Roode (Robert Roode) came up in wrestling together as members of Team Canada in TNA Wrestling, and have remained close over the years.
Appearing on Dynasty Vipers Viper Cast, Eric Young was asked about Roode and his place in Canadian wrestling history.
"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. 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," said Young.
Roode currently works as a producer in WWE. He hasn't wrestled since 2022 due to a neck injury.
Young is signed to TNA Wrestling, but also works as a fantasy sports and hockey analyst.
