Bobby "The Body" Robinson
Name: Bobby Robinson
Hometown: Panama City Beach, FL
Age: 49
Role: Colour Commentator
Bio: Like most great colour commentators, Bobby Robinson was a player first. He was a
wrestler first. Although in "The Body's" case, wrestler was a rather loose term. "The Body" was not known for his dropkicks and arm drags, nor was he known for his plethora of intricate submission holds. He was not, shall we say, a "catch-as-catch can" specialist. In fact, he was the furthest thing from one. But while his matches may not have been works of art, his physique damn sure was. Bobby Robinson looked like a star, a SUPER star, and he carried himself like a superstar as well.
"The Body" had a mouth (and an ego) to match his physique, and he ran it quite frequently. Arrogant, flamboyant, charismatic, outrageous, and outspoken, there was no shortage of adjectives to describe Bobby Robinson as a professional wrestler. He could talk trash with the best of them, and talk fans into any arena in the country. His verbal ability would prove to be quite useful in the latter half of his career, when he stepped out of the ring and into the commentary booth.
It turns out that partying all night, pumping your body full of PEDs, and packing on an absurd amount of muscle mass was not, and is not, a recipe for longevity. On top of that, or perhaps because of it, Bobby suffered several injuries, both in the ring and in the gym. He was forced to cut his career as an active wrestler short. Despite this, Bobby "The Body" remains a huge part of the professional wrestling business. With his newfound role as an entertaining heel colour commentator, he is arguably more recognizable today than he was in his prime.
