Washuyama

I still have mine. About 95% of issues from '74' - '05 and probably 5 total from '07-'10.

1983, I believe.

I started watching one video on this channel (don't remember which one). It started with The video and graphics from NattoSumo's channel and the commentary from Chris Gould's.. I usually enjoy seeing new sumo content, but this just seems to be someone mashing bits and pieces from others work and calling it his own.

Given your hypothetical situation, I think Asa would still have the skills and strength to compete at the joi level, barring injury, possibly even Ozeki level. I don't think he could make it all the way back to the top, but it would be entertaining to watch, especially if he fought with the tenacity and fierceness he did on his way up the first time.

Probably not the first time he's seen what's down there... They are brothers after all.

The last time I disagreed with an Ozeki promotion was Kisenosato's. I just didn't think his 10-12J-10 string was "worthy" enough at the time. Then he went on to have one of the strongest, most consistent Ozeki careers in history, ultimately earning him a promotion to Yokozuna. Asanoyama has looked like an Ozeki for the past year or so. I for one, wish him the best!

...and HAVE been for quite a while...

Every zensho not by Hakuho is a surprise.

Have you been talking to my wife again??

There were also three on the Nagoya 1976 banzuke (Mienoumi, Kaiketsu & Daiju). Not sure if there have ever.been more.

Wouldn't be completely surprised if Hakuho was still there.

Well, this IS the 21st century.

Just a guess, but it may have come about during the post-war occupation when,I assume, a number of American G.I.s discovered sumo and tried to put it in familiar terms.

I would LOVE to see this bout!!

Looks like 300 kg/660 lbs.
