Xavier Woods nickname should be dead on arrival, because they didnt even wait for him to get out of the gates to bury him 6 feet under. In recent memory, there hasnt been a guy so quickly and effectively buried before he could even get started (maybe Michael McGillicutty because of how stupid his name was, but they didnt actively bury that guy like they did Woods). Upon his debut, Xavier Woods was saddled with the task of stealing, for all intents and purposes, Brodus Clays gimmick. Why would anyone want to steal that gimmick? It didnt work for Brodus, why in the blue hell would it work for you? Needless to say that it didnt go over well. Instead of allowing the man to cultivate and present his own personality and character, the WWE thought it best to saddle him with a failed one, and the results were predictably bad. Hes been getting his ass handed to him on a weekly basis since. Luckily for him, hes only 27 and has a long career ahead of him, and maybe hell be allowed to do his own thing at some point. The kid has a lot of charisma and character. That being said its very hard to climb out of the grave once its been dug.
