1. He Wants To Work With Autistic Children When His Wrestling Career Ends
It is no secret that Xavier Woods is currently attempting to finish his PhD whilst on the road. He recently transferred programs, but his eventual goal has not changed. When his career in the ring winds down, Woods hopes to take his education and psychology training and apply that to working with children with autism. The interest in this world came from Woods' time in college. He took a seminar course in autism and that was that. Woods' himself described the course as an eye-opener, waking him up to the world of autism and the lack of help that is currently available. As someone who has extensive experience of the world of autism, working within that universe is tough. Having the ambition to move towards it is an impressive goal, and is yet another a string to Woods' laudable bow. In a world where professional wrestlers are more accessible than ever, as well as being less transparent, Xavier Woods still manages to stand out as an all round good guy and a genuine down to earth young man. It is difficult to begrudge the man his success, especially as he runs down the Usos and Lucha Dragons from ringside, trombone in hand.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
