Now by appearence, I'm reffering to his hairstyle. In the 70's and 80's, a lot of people were focused on having these groovy, funky and retro looks, as the pop culture, media and society was gradually changing, so of course, the wrestler's went along with it, cheifly because professioal wrestling, was changing in to sports-entertainment. So not only did many wrestler's require good wrestling skills, but also an eye-catching look.

Furthermore, and aside from the 80's hair-fashion history (pardon me), former TNA world champion Bobby Roode, was once in the mid-card of the TNA roster. Almost a decade after his career had passed by; he had become the TNA World-heavyweight Champion. Not long after his title win, Roode had changed his hairstyle that everybody was used to, which was long, curly hair, and had evolved into a simple, short-cut. The reason it had changed in my opinion, was so that he could look like more of a world champion, as his hair makes him look smarter, and it goes with his rich-man moniker. Most likely, another reason could have been, is so that he looks like less of a Triple H facsimile. Before he was a world champion, and was in his former tag-team Beer-Money inc, many had compared him to Triple H, and a minority had labeled him a plagarist, for he had moves similar to Triple H, similar motions as him and a similar hair-style.

With the novel hair chic, he looks like more of an original star, smarter and also, a modern-day world champion. Many of today's world champions, have inherited the the style of short hair, for example: John Cena, Sheamus, CM Punk, Randy Orton, etc. So with the short look, he fits in with the trend, and can be easily looked at as world-champion. With his longer hair, I couldn't see him as that, ever since his the transition, that doubt was cleared. Many could say the change was just his own decision, for the sake of having short hair, but that could be because of looking like a star in the main event picture. As far as the rest of the Triple H similarites are concerned; it appears to be, that Bobby Roode has aquired a new move set, as there have been noticible changes in his matches, and has presented his own, unique taunts to the audience over the past 6 months.

Prior to winning the title, he resided with the lengthy hair, perceptibly the hairstyle changed for the sake of looking like the TNA world champion, as it had changed shortly after the title win, which I find ironic. So, I'm going to have to articulate, that this hair change wasn't because he was "just asked to do so", or "because he wanted a new hairstyle", but to give the impression of being The It Factor of professional wrestling, The Leader of the Selfish-Generation, and as TNA's new, World Heavyweight Champion.
