WWE Superstar speaks at anti-bullying rally

SPRINGFIELD, Mass (WWLP) - A familiar face to wrestling fans spoke to a thousand students today about his experiences with bullying.

WWE Superstar David Otunga, who is also a Harvard-educated lawyer, led a STAR rally, an anti-bullying initiative started by the WWE and the creative coalition.

"Most people know me as being a WWE superstar in this larger than life character with muscles, larger than life, even arrogant character, but they don't know that when I was a kid I was just like them,” Otunga told 22news. “I was insecure, I was short I was picked on, I had thick glasses and I was smart, that didn't help, because everyone called me a nerd."

The students also had the chance to watch the MAAC women's championship game.
