Hulk Hogan, who is currently on tour with TNA in UK, sat down with the Daily Star newspaper to clarify his comments before Bound For Glory, that Roode wasn't a top star.
"It was my opinion, and it was a simple gut feeling to do what was best for the company," Hogan said. "I was sitting watching Roode's parents saying what a great son he is and his wife saying what a great husband he is and his kids saying what a great dad he is. He's the ultimate good guy. He's going to win the belt! But, then what? Who does he wrestle? So, I sat back and thought, 'You guys have just done one of the best old school wrestling angles I've ever seen.'"
He added, "[Turning Roode heel] give him that extra spice - then he'll have everyone to work with, rather than throw him out there and set him up for failure."
