Independent wrestler “Cauliflower” Chase Brown died at the age of 41.
Brown died on October 13. He started his wrestling career in 2012. He wrestled several times in ROH from 2015-2017. In addition to wrestling, Brown was a musician.
The cheeseburger posted a tribute to Brown on social media and shared how Brown got the nickname “Cauliflower.”
“A truly one-of-a-kind professional wrestler and a legitimate, genuinely good person in this crazy business. For those of you who didn’t know Chase Brown, most of us came across him in the mid-2010s through the ROH tryouts and ring crew. He was a guy working his a** off trying to earn his place. He was playing his music again. A giant cauliflower he was biting off named Terry Funk, if I remember correctly he was a legit shooter and a tough guy.
I remember all of us in the ring crew being so insanely hyped when Chase finally got his first ROH match. He also serenaded us with guitar songs behind the scenes.”
WWE’s Saquon Shugars posted a tribute and reflected on the cauliflower that allowed him to make ROH shows in 13.
Always a great brother, multi-talented

JCW’s Caleb Conley also shared his thoughts on Brown’s death.
“And how many times can I post about my dead friends? Chase was, unapologetically, one of the strangest, most unique, most whimsical people I’ve ever had the privilege of calling my friend. He loved it very much. He did nothing half the time. There were no part-time hobbies for him if he was going to do something that he was going to put his whole heart into and dedicate to what his heart desired. somewhere you talk about philosophy and sing about dolphins,” he wrote.
Brown leaves behind a wife and a one-year-old daughter.
