With Roop we get an old school big heel. Big and powerful, he is also an enforcer as well as an overall ass kicker that adds a good element to the roster. We also get someone who is a legit olympian in greco-roman wrestling and that fits with part of our vision. He can be both the face and heel, he's exactly the kind of guy that we want in the mix between our secondary belt and our top belt.
