SonofCyrus

I noticed that too. I pretty much knew he had lost his concentration and that Asa had the match. Osh still has a little ways to go to get rid of that pressure bug.

Looked very arrogant to me and also the way he looked after Osh went down. Sure he beat Osh. But remeber who Asa hasn't beaten. Too little too late now. Anything can happen in 2 days though.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Who is the wise-guy that told Iwakiyama that there are snack cakes in the tawara?"

"And he is called safe at home plate! West wins 1 to nothing!"

That will work or SoC. I like to cheer for Ama. He feels like an underdog to me most of the time because of his size.

Fujisan suggested I introduce myself over here. I have been a lurker here for a little while. I usually don't post too often. I mainly use this forum as a resource to gather information. I really enjoy the various translations people post. Thank you for taking the time to translate stuff for other people. I currently live in Japan about an hour out of Tokyo near Tachikawa. I am originally from Louisville, Kentucky. For a while I saw sumo on TV. I really became interested and fell in love with the sport after I went to the Natsu-basho of this year. Now I watch sumo on TV when I can and I plan on going to the current tournament. I have read a few books on sumo and know most general information. This forum helps me stay on current events and covers topics you can not find in books. This will be a very good resource when I leave Japan. I have a couple favorite rikishi, but currently I am a "mainstream" fan because I am so new to the sport. You will notice that listed under my "Favorite Rikishi" I put: not Asashoryu. I might as well explain this. I think Asa is an excellent and truly amazing athlete. He can pull off some very amazing athletic feats. He is a fierce fighter full of spirit. He is a legend in the making. I am just not a fan of his attitude and how he handles some things, but I deeply respect his skill and ability. I don't want to open a can of worms here. I am just giving my honest opinion. I don't have a shikona. I didn't really think of one when I made this account. The name I chose is a pretty common name I use. I used to have Cyrus, but usually that is taken so I started using SonofCyrus because that name is the "son" of the original. Thanks for what you all do to make this a cool forum.

It is a bummer but he had no business being out there. It was depressing to watch him wrestle the last three days.
