#9 Xavier Woods

<p>

How high does Xavier Woods's geekdom go? We'd say OVER 9000!

From his anime-inspired ring gear to his podcasts, to his video game contest with Bullet Club, Xavier Woods is a geek through and through. And he's far from ashamed of it. In fact, he's quite proud to be a nerd.


10. Kenny Omega

<p>

Otaku is not a label that most people would self-apply. It means a person who is so into anime, comic books, and video games that it goes beyond an interest and becomes a way of life.

Yet, that is exactly what PWI's number one wrestler in the world calls himself. Kenny's constant homages to comics and anime are prevalent in his ring gear, entrances, and social media posts. He even calls his finisher the One Winged Angel, a direct reference to Final Fantasy VII. Is that nerdy enough for you?
