Benevolance 2,253 Posted April 18, 2021 I looked up Masunoyama to see when he intai'd and was surprised to see he's been kicking around in the bottom of sumo for the past five years. He had knee problems, right? Ah, I fondly remember our discussions of predicting precisely *when* Masunoyama would keel over from a heart attack on the dohyo due to his shortness of breath. Good times, good times. Oh, man. It's so obvious in hindsight. Kotoyuki and Masunoyama should have merged into, like, Voltron. Kotoyuki's hoots would have given Masunoyama the extra breath he needed, and between them they'd have a good set of legs, and good set of hands, and they'd weigh in at approximately 0.85 Ichinojo's. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
