Leeds man sick of people 'laughing' at him when he tells them he's a wrestler

A Leeds man has grown sick of people laughing at him when he tells them he’s a wrestler.

Adam Bowler, 36, began wrestling last year but he says people in the wrestling world have been “bullying” him. He says this is due to him being “short and skinny” rather than having the stereotypical “big and muscley and sportive” wrestler build.

The Gledhow man doesn’t have a wrestler pseudonym but likes to represent Leeds by wearing a Leeds United kit when he wrestles. Adam won his first fight in December and is looking forward to his second later this month.
