Kintamayama 40,632 Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) When Kisenosato was told the yusho was his, all cameras were on him backstage. Was he crying? Was he not crying? You couldn't tell because his back was to the cameras. In the end, a rolling tear was observed.. Back in August 2008, the Mongolian jungyo was held in Mongolia. A formal dinner was held where all the rikishi drank and were merry. The 22 year old Komusubi Kisenosato was cracking everyone up with his imitation of pro-wrestler Keiji Mutou. Then everyone started chanting "Drink!! Drink!!", so he had no chance but to drink. At around the end of the banquet, he ran into Yokozuna Asashouryuu. The totally plastered Kisenosato leaned on him, crying. "Yokozuna, I am pathetic.. I am really weak.. I'm useless.." he lamented. The surprised Asashouryuu attempted to pacify him, putting his arm around him. "Come on, you are strong. From here on you have to lead the Japanese rikishi. Gambarize!" he cheered. "Bawww.." Kisenosato answered, still crying. (The same year, Kisenosato got his first kinboshi off Asashouryuu and actually beat him twice .)

Kuroyama 715 Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Is a yokozuna allowed to be a weepy drunk? Or will the YDC insist he must be a boisterous, manly man when plastered? Edited February 16, 2017 by Kuroyama 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
