Yamanashi 509 Posted March 9 (edited) Hakuho claims a series of little injuries are pestering him during the basho; meanwhile he wins 15-0 ; also takes time out after day 7 to get in BP with the Orix Buffaloes. Kakuryu starts off well, but begins pulling on day 6 and exits after 3 straight losses. "I dunno, it's lots of little stuff, my knee's acting up, the ripped toenail, slept funny on my elbow, but hey, sorry for kvetching" he explains in an exclusive interview to a bald fellow from Israel. Tochinoshin makes a dramatic comeback, going 8-7 as he pulls a rare henka on Goeido, who sells out completely and takes out three rows of spectators including 4 geisha. Shodai decides to embrace his tachiai. He simply stands up at the beginning of a match against Aoiyama, who misjudges and falls over. Next day Shodai tries this against Hokutofuji, who sends him backwards so fast that he takes out three rows of spectators including 4 geisha.

The Fat Cyclist 15 Posted March 9 The Shimpan decide to have words with Hakuho for standing on the tawara after bouts & he promptly goes kyujo Kakuryu starts well but on day 6 pulls so hard he is last seen exiting the hall at speed, backward, prompting a nationwide search. Tochinoshin grunts so hard while trying to lift Inchinojo he does himself a damage and has to retire Yoshikaze yosho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tama hasn't been consistent from basho to basho and this may be his "off" one. Taka will likely get his KK unless he gets injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sekitori 383 Posted March 10 Half the makunouchi rkishis will have 8-7 records. The other other half will have 7-8 records. With approximately 20 rikishis taking part, this will create the weirdest and by far the longest lasting yusho--ketteisen in history. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
