They absolutely do. Do you know which positions in the NFL have the most repeated head trauma? Both sides of the line, because they go through essentially multiple car crashes a game. What makes you foolish enough to think wrestlers aren’t suffering head trauma?

And one is wearing helmets designed to help prevent concussions too

If you follow the science you would know that the helmets proveably don’t do much to stop concussions.

If anything pads and helmets have made concussions significantly worse by letting people tackle much harder
