Fascinating story about a Texan who went from training with Tobizaru in Japan to doing a Ph.D. about sumo at Cambridge University.

Pretty awesome article, that one. Cheers! -
Working in Social Media for a telco, this isn't surprising. As long as the message is the same, you'll be golden.

Retired Rikishi Inspired By Death of Lover
cyclonicleo replied to Gaijingai's topic in Ozumo Discussions
Well, there goes the last of my tissues.... -
Off to MMA with him. If he tried his attitude in puroresu (pro-wrestling), I can guarantee there would be a few old hands that would beat the seven shades out of him pretty quickly (depending on the promotion, of course). There is little no tolerance for stupidity or arrogance in a pro-wrestling ring.

Personally, I kinda think its this. No matter, how he runs the heya is what matters.

I'm just glad to see coming to pass for Araiso.
-
Its an interesting train ride though, if its on the Tskuba Express line.

Is that Marty Friedman era Megadeth?

Regarding Ryunden's alleged behaviour: that's just....horrid. I'm no reliable moral compass but whilst he's been suspended for the multiple COVID breaches (the amount alone is nuts!), the conduct of Ryuden here is beyond reprehensible. I mean, have people been kicked out of sumo for less?

I wonder how the powers that be will look upon Teru going to a playoff to win the cup? Would it count against him if he won the next tournament in less than dominant fashion (remembering the 2 wins by an Ozeki rule)?

Asanoyama's COVID violation suspension and comeback
cyclonicleo replied to Seiyashi's topic in Ozumo Discussions
People consistently forget that the technology they love to use can also be turned against them. Location history is a great tool for investigations; no wonder the NSK's lawyer went down that path (if presumably to be absolutely sure of where Asanoyama was, if they decided to take legal action against Bunshun). If you really don't care about your privacy, by all means, leave location history on, but know that your phone will give up a lot of information about you, should it be needed to. -
Asanoyama's COVID violation suspension and comeback
cyclonicleo replied to Seiyashi's topic in Ozumo Discussions
I am hoping it'll only be a suspension for Asanoyama, only because I want to see him use this as an opportunity to improve himself, his sumo and his mental fortitude. -
Sounds like the beya has a bit of an interest in preserving their rikishi's career's, in that case? Good for Chiyonokuni to go kyujo and heal up. I wish Tochinoshin would do the same...

Honestly, I think he's about to acquire one very, very soon. Will be sad to see but at least he'll get more time to work on his golf game!

Nah, its not worth the anger.
