* AbortedArc: He was suppose to debut when ran a petition in order to reinstate Big Show. Nothing came of this, until a debuted a few weeks later.
** In July 2014, he appeared before Wrestling/{{Big E|Langston}} and Wrestling/KofiKingston, [[BadassInANiceSuit in a suit]], offering to be their manager. They accepted, had one successful match one week later, and... nothing's come of it on TV as of yet, although the group has been spotted together at live events and on social media.

* {{Keet}}: Woods is, uh, [[{{Understatement}} pretty hyperactive]].

He has been a tag team champion in multiple promotions, including [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ga/anarchy/anarchy-t.html NWA Anarchy]][[labelnote:with]]Hayden Young[[/labelnote]], [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/fl/nxt/fcw-fl-t.html FCW]][[labelnote:with]][[Wrestling/AcesAndEights Wes Brisco]][[/labelnote]], [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/tna/tna-t.html TNA]][[labelnote:with]]Wrestling/JayLethal[[/labelnote]], and [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-t.html WWE]][[labelnote:with]]Wrestling/TheNewDay under Freebird rules, x8[[/labelnote]]. He's also a one-time [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ga/dsw/dsw-h.html DSW Heavyweight Champion]].

* TheCastShowOff: He really can play that trombone.

* TheNineties: From his finisher and billed from location being shout outs to [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Power Rangers]] to his entrance music that sounds like something from Technotronic or C+C Music Factory his gimmick practically screams '90s Kid. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as he was born in late 1986 and most of his childhood memories before high school would have been of this decade.

* ICallItVera: Every iteration of his Trombone is called "Francine".

* {{Keet}}: Woods is…pretty hyperactive.

* MythologyGag: Once tagged with one Wrestling/RonKillings in TNA as "Truth and Consequences". When he debuted on RAW, he was introduced in a tag team with R-Truth (Ron Killings) as a 'friend' of Truth's. One of the few times WWE has referenced, if only ''very'' opaquely, a talent's time in TNA.

* MostAnnoyingSound: The trombone he brings to the ring is at least intended to be this.
