That is awesome. Guys like that are the ones I usually tend to like more in the long run. They are in it for more than money and it shows in their work in the ring/promos.
I agree about Roode. He has been one of those that I always thought is going to be remembered fondly in the coming decades - not at the same level of someone like Hogan but maybe like we look back at guys like British Bulldog or Hacksaw Jim Duggan. A solid worker that could put on good matches and the like.
