Legit thing that used to happen though, when the NCAA national wrestling championships would be held, the D1 tournament organizers used to invite the winners of the D2 and D3 tournaments to participate. But when Carl Hasselrig would win three tournaments at the D1 level in a row after he would win the D2 championships, they discontinued inviting the lower division champions to the tournament. Carl Hasselrig to this day is the only 6x NCAA wrestling national champion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hakutorizakura 629 Posted March 18, 2023 Takakeisho returns tomorrow and ends up with a 11-4 yusho, beating Daieisho and Midorifuji in a playoff. When asked in the yusho interview what happened in the first week, he just shrugs and says, 'just to make it interesting, I know it's been boring for the fans'. He still is not promoted to yokozuna though, per kyokai's new rule '3 consecutive yusho in case of a hamster'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yamanashi 3,844 Posted March 18, 2023 After Takakeisho fails to clear kadoban, the NSK has a panic-filled meeting, and decides to create a temporary Ozeki Sonobakagiri ("Ad hoc Ozeki") for the Nagoya basho. The slot will be filled by the winner of a tournament among the current San'yaku. As you can guess, the final match is against Tobizaru (K1w) and Shodai (K2w). Tobizaru pulls a henka and beats Shodai by hatakikomi, but a mono-ii shows that he pulled on the hair. Thus Shodai becomes the Next Ozeki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They just have to hope there's a Sekiwake with a kachi-koshi to shove up there, regardless of their prior records. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering that Takakeisho is usually competitive whether healthy, I wouldn't be surprised if they resurrect the kosho seido system instead than going down that way. Like that, Takakeisho is 7 losses in May and likely to get an eight the following day. First news of the next day: kosho seido reinstated, Takakeisho goes kyujo under its protection. Second news of the day, Mitakeumi drives a donuts truck through Hakkaku's house. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
