Stopper Heya

[Otokonoyama 2,735]

Before the basho, the Musashigawa guys were loudly proclaiming their stopper heya heritage (the oyakata once stopped someone's streak: Kitanoumi's? :-) ). Now, the only one's who've been stopped are the Musashigawa rikishi themselves (Shaking head...) .

Take Miyabi-yabadabado. He lost again today to go 1-9. This is after having Asasekiryu in the banzai position, practically ensuring Red Dragon's loss. Practically... (Clapping wildly...)

The only stopper Miyabi, makuuchi's heaviest sekitori, resembles is the one at the bottom of the bathtub. Speaking of tubs... (Neener, neener...)

Well, much talk and not much action. Almost every rikishi has a bad basho now and then. It could be 2 or 3 within the same heya and still be a coincedence, but at some point it gets suspicious.

For Miyabiyama, he losses certainly because of his new mawashi!

Indeed ( there is no logic :-) ), since Takamisakari has a new blue mawashi, he dosn't win very often... And it is the same thing for Takanonami: he changed his mawashi last january, and had to withdraw last week!!!

So changing a mawashi isn't good for the Win!

Not to mention Toki, who went from his usual orange to baby blue, and promptly lost form! Gojoro also hasn't done too well since he picked that garish shock pink one... :-)

Well,if you

jealous of who ???

Don't know... They used to have good rikishi, but these rikishi (Musoyama, Dejima, Buyuzan...) are not as strong as they were... And since Musashimaru left, they have no "top" rikishi, unlike in some others heya where the wrestlers succeed. I think they are jealous for Takasago's success!

[sorry for all these gramatical mistakes]

if you don't consider Asasekiryu's last basho i couldn't say Takasago heya is a very succesfull one.

their top rikishi are Asashoryu (no comment on him),Asasekiryu (a future sanyaku ?) , Toki (just look at his last bashos..... (Clapping wildly...) ), Assanowaka (plese don't get me started on him.......)

(sorry Tokimori-san for the disregarding comments on your favourite rikishi........)

I will never forgive you... :-P

I would say that Musashigawa-beya is a spent force.

[Zuikakuyama 1]

Yes. Their only promising young star in sekitori is Kakizoe. Dont think they have anyone coming up soon from makushita.

[Asashosakari 20,215]

They do have this basho's Ms15 Tsukedashi starter, Nakano.

A "spent force"-not so sure about that.

It depends on your time-frame I suppose.

Not a very good start at that with a 3-4.. Perhaps that nagging wrist injury hasn't healed??

Well, Kakizoe sure is a success so far... We have a saying in Sweden that goes "up as the sun, down as a pancake"... Perhaps a little bit mean but really true.

Which is the next stable then? Hardly Musashigawa - I agree it
