Sakura 1,472 Posted September 10 3 hours ago, Gurowake said: Based on what happened day 2, I would go with Meisei, but unless there's something I'm missing, Onosato vs. Oho instead of vs. Takanosho day 3 is also an interesting development that runs counter to changing the even day rule, and thus I'm inclined to think that "they forgot" is a better explanation for Day 2. That is, I'm thinking someone new is doing the torikumi, and they were told what they did wrong on Day 2, and then overcorrected for Day 3. 4. Gonoyama I also noticed the Day 3 oddness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakusotsu 5,815 Posted September 10 The two WTK pickes might have benefitted from the Hamster's kyujo, but who can say for sure. The Day 4 oddness for me is Bushozan-Kagayaki, which doesn't seem to fit the rest of the upper bill.

And I think @Gurowake was correct in saying that the Day 2 difference was down to 'they forgot' 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryoshishokunin 261 Posted September 10 Certainly the Takakeisho kyujo threw off *my* logic, even if it wasn't the Kyokai's. 5. Meisei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assumed they were guessing a Takakeisho kyujo when I saw them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As much as I'd like to take credit for Nostradamus-ing the pick, I had them lining up the bottom four sanyaku on day four (S2E/K1W and S2W/K1E), because that's been the general approach for a little while. That freed two joi wrestlers above M4 to fight each other. Then, if they kept rotating like they did on day two, the next fights were M4E/M6E, M4W/M6W, M5E/M7E. Going back to the "normal" even day setup pushed Ura all the way down to Endo, and the way schedules have looked of late made that seem wrong. So I went with Waka and ended up being right for the wrong reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
