LibrarianOCNJ 0 Posted March 15, 2020 I saw in today’s match that the yobidashi dumped a cup of water at the edge of the Dohyō and Abi put both feet in it. Is this something that is done all the time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, me, too. Somehow, though, the email came from some Nigerian prince wanting to also share $5 million dollars with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocks 1,454 Posted March 16, 2020 Here's hoping they at least put some bleach in it. But given the guys are rubbing themselves all over with towels and handing it to the yobidashi I wouldn't bet on it. Joseph Lister would not have been a Sumo fan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
