Want to see something gross? My answer to that is pretty much always a big fat NO, but hey, some people are into that sort of thing. So, with y’all in mind, here we go.
Former pro wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin decided to share a horrid image of what he claims to be a common injury among in-ring competitors. He posted the picture on Twitter – and be warned, it’s a little unsettling:

I woke up Tuesday morning, started to work out, and had this big goose egg on my left elbow. It was gigantic……..I didn’t know what the fuck was wrong with my elbow, but it was unsightly.”
To say the least. He went on to explain that he suffers from olecranon bursitis, which is apparently what this nightmarish protrusion is. Austin continued:
I bent down to pick up my weight and I used my left arm and my arm didn’t wanna bend. And I’m like ‘man, what the fuck’s wrong with my arm?’ So I grabbed my left arm with my right hand, and it’s like someone buried a golf ball in my elbow. You know, back in the day, when I was in the game of pro wrestling, when I was first starting out – or hell, it could be any time – try and make a flat-back landing and sometimes your elbows just bang into the mat and you bust that bursa sac. Virtually all the boys who ever come up in the business have that tennis ball elbow as you go through the paces, because it kinda comes with the territory.”
If I ever wake up with this demon on my elbow (or anywhere else), please call an exorcist immediately. How would you react?
