10 Wrestlers You Totally Forgot Worked For AEW
5. Crowbar
Crowbar did something more miraculous than most professional wrestlers, and that really isn't an exaggeration: he made 2000 WCW fun and halfway watchable.
He wasn't an outstanding wrestler or anything, but he was committed and engaging, and knew his way around some flips and plunder. His double act with Daffney actually made sense of WCW's madcap landscape. All in all, he was a memorable, endearing prelim act.
He didn't have the main event potential prized by WWE, nor was he gifted enough to star on the youthful, workrate-driven circuit that unfolded in the 2000s. He sort of bounced between TNA and obscurity deeper into the decade and beyond. But time has a way of mythologising everything, and by the 2020s, Crowbar developed potential as a meme wrestler. AEW sensed this, and, in a GCW Spring Break-adjacent development, he worked Joey Janela on Dark on the October 11, 2021 edition.
He did the job in a respectable effort, presented as part of a loose ECW tribute in Philadelphia, gamely bumping for Janela's demented indierrific offence and barricade-clearing dives.
He dumped himself on his crown to get the match over in a neat hidden gem.
