Were knee injuries this common before people trained so much wrestling?

Seems like over the past few years, knee injuries have gone up substantially. Is this due to wrestling becomming a staple of the training regiment?

Wrong.

It’s Bush’s fault.

It's clearly Kid Nate's fault.

That sucks

Was very excited to see him and Killa B go at it.

Seconded.

Hawn definitely could win the whole thing and get a shot at Askren, which I would like to see. Sucks that we’ll have to wait.

Whomever they get

Is probably not going to have the clinch tactics of Hawn… which means Killa-B is going to knee somebody’s spleen out of their mouth.

That sucks he had some of the best clutch judo. Using it at the perfect time to swing momentum or critical his opponent.
