Given the emphasis that Netflix’s ‘Wrestlers‘ has on Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), it is no surprise that the various people affiliated with it have been well covered in the reality show. One of the most crucial people talked about in the show is none other than Craig Greenberg, whose acquisition of the company in season 1 paved the path for some major changes. Given that he claimed to be the one to come up with the idea of buying shares in the organization, it is only natural for people to wonder more about Craig’s wealth, and we are here to explore the same!
How Did Craig Greenberg Earn His Money?
As it turns out, Craig Greenberg, a Ballard High School alumnus, has a stellar educational background, having studied at the University of Michigan from 1991 to 1995.
