I had it twice while wrestling. It hurts like hell. Frankly I don’t understand the guys that tried to develop a mean looking pair of ears. But anyone that’s wrestlers for a long time likely has cartilage damage to their ears.

because they've wrestled for more than a decade and rarely wear them -- JoesterVT Mar 23, 2023 at 11:16 AM ET

Most of the cauliflower ears that you see are from freestyle -- Maroon Avenger Mar 23, 2023 at 10:42 AM ET
