10.1. What happened to Cactus Jack's right ear?

It was accidentally ripped off on March 16, 1994 in a wrestling
match in Munich, Germany against Vader. During the match, Cactus
got his head caught between the top and middle ropes. The tension
in the tightened ring ropes was enough to tear his right ear
completely off and badly tear his left ear. Part of the right ear
was iced and saved. The left required 12 stitches. Cactus
continued the match for another two minutes before going to the
planned finish. Cactus was in good spirits afterwards with
little damage to his hearing and some trouble with his
balance. Cactus returned to the ring April 17, 1994. Reports were
that Cactus was planning to take a few months time off to have
reconstructive surgery on the ear, however, to date, he has yet
to take time off and is currently working for both ECW and SMW.
