Veteran Indie Wrestler Crowbar Reveals He Was Bullied In ECW For Pursuing Degree

Veteran indie wrestler Crowbar was recently a guest on the Wrestling Inc podcast. During his chat with Wrestling Inc. managing editor Nick Hausman he revealed he was being bullied for pursing a degree.

Crowbar is one of the few wrestlers to have wrestled matches in many promotions such as WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA and ROH. He has a degree in physical therapy, so he is prepared for life after he steps out of the ring. He revealed that he was bullied in the locker room for pursuing his degree, but he is proud that it never deterred him from getting it.

"If you want me to be frank really, I'm at the point where I don't care anymore. Most of those guys s**t on me for studying in the back of the locker room. People talked s**t when I was in ECW because I would bring my books and I would study. I would go do indie shows and I would be doing homework, and they mocked me. I don't wish ill upon them, I wish success on everyone, but I knew the business was finite, that it ends someday.

For me it's not over, but it's not my way of life, it's not my career, it's not how I make money right now. But I can say 80-90 percent of guys gave me s**t for it, and I hold my head up high and I think I'm better off than 95 percent of them. And I'm not saying that to be snarky, but I took a lot of s**t for years, everyone looked down upon me trying to do both, and I'm in a much better place for it right now."
