The original ECW's locker room was full of testosterone-fuelled misfits brought together under Paul Heyman's vision for what pro wrestling should be. It was a menagerie of wild-eyed animals, oddballs and some who couldn't hope to work anywhere else. Then, there was Devon Storm, who'd later become Crowbar in WCW.

He was just content to sit up the back of the locker room studying and writing essays.

During his brief fling in ECW, Crowbar was ridiculed and bullied for refusing to partake in whatever jollies guys like The Sandman, New Jack and others had in mind. Instead, he kept one eye firmly on his own future, and believed this pro wrasslin' gig wouldn't be around forever. So, he studied for a career in physical therapy.

According to Crowbar's recent interview with Wrestling Inc, that didn't exactly endear him to his ECW brothers and sisters. They viewed him as a square who was wasting the chance to party.
