Babaryutaikai 1 Posted March 17, 2009 Anyone know what's up with Shishio? Meike, have you heard? Still the shoulder problem? He might be kyujo from sumo almost as long as I've been - well, he' HAS had more kyujo than I have - but I fear he will be off the banzuke if he doesn't return in May (Clapping wildly...) He'll still be in jonidan next basho, so no danger of that yet. Thanks, Aso. That's really good to know. I just hope he is totally rehabilitated before returning - he is one of sumo's most pleasant people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
