Jan 11th & 18th

[Mark Buckton 1]

Anybody out there going to the Kokugikan on the 11th or 18th of January?

Got the tickets Friday and as I'll be there both days with friends and family if you are going and feel like a quick meet up during one of the breaks in the action and a beer perhaps let me know.

Then again there is also the Feb 8th charity day and sometime in April the open air cherry blossom event at Yasukuni. (Sigh...)

I wish Adachi!

I shall be spending another cold January in Grimsby,the closest I will get to the action is throwing the set top box round the room when my favourite rikishis losses come up on the NSK site.

You could always hold a placard up with your shikona on,a la WWE Wrestling-"Ok maybe not!"

Fujisan,,you said

"You could always hold a placard up with your shikona on,a la WWE Wrestling-"Ok maybe not!""

but jest not - been there and done that (twice in Tokyo - my wife loves that 'wrestling' and I think it is excellent entertainment value and athletic ability if little else).

Won't do it in the Kokugikan though but as for yourself going - maybe not this year but one day - one day.

No others though it seems.

I am assuming you won't do it in the kokugikan due to embarrassment? Or is there another reason? (Not saying that's invalid)

Correct guess above Yoavo-san in that me wants not the face of red. WWE is fine - everyone's an actor and part of the show.

Sumo is .well, sumo. And cos I'm usually there from early on to see the junior chappies I know I have to face them later. (Clapping wildly...) Not 'de rigeur' as they say. (sp)
