Inside Sport Japan 762 Posted August 18, 2021 John (Gunning) asked us to create an account here and post sumo related ISJ stuff that we don't see on Sumo Forum while he is away. It doesn't look like there is anything we know that you guys don't but just doing what the boss requested. Hello anyway. 14 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaminariyuki 498 Posted August 22, 2021 Ha! I somehow suspected a connection. Since the OP here stated elsewhere that they were not John Gunning, I now suspect this could be his girlfriend. ...or, his mother. Mystery solved. Really, we'll entertain the most amazing diversions between basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may be naive, but I'm going to take at face value the claim that "Inside Sports Japan" is one or more staffers at Inside Sports Japan who will use the account to funnel Sumo content to this Forum.

Kaminariyuki 498 Posted August 22, 2021 I only poked around this profile because I was amazed and impressed by the Colton Runyan thread that was posted. I'd love to meet the young man someday, if we get back to the point where I'm willing to meet anyone in person. Same with Gohn GUnning and Yamanashi, for that matter.

As disappointing as I am on the Forum, I'd be much more disappointing in person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree about your self-assessment (although you are probably just being overly modest). I LOVE your sense of humor and I can't imagine that goes away in person.

Currently there are six of us that deal with ISJ SNS content on a semi regular basis and another 15 people that provide virtually all the content used in certain posts so it wouldn't make much sense to do a personal intro as it's not the same people each time.

That's quite an operation that John has going then. I'm glad to see him with such a successful enterprise. Well, I assume it's successful given that he needs to (and is able to) get many other people working under him.

Working in Social Media for a telco, this isn't surprising. As long as the message is the same, you'll be golden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
