BIOGRAPHY
Little is known about Desmond Astor before he showed up at The Fear Factory Wrestling Academy in 2000 at the age of 18. Astor spent more time at the school than any other student, spliting his time between being a trainer and a student, not officially graduating until 2010... having spent 10 years at the Academy. During those 10 years, he trained most closely under 'The Machine' Chris Legion, but also trained with and alongside Kyle Cross, Torin Justice, Eric Masterson, Saito Nakamure, Ash Scion, Anna Molly, Alyssa Pryde, and all of the other Fear Factory students.
He developed a strong MMA based style, combined with some stiff Strong Style puro and Canadian style submission wrestling. In late 2010, he left the school for Japan, and has not really been heard from since until signing with VoW in 2014.
