Asashoryu's future? Speculations

Maybe 'Senior' Sumo a la the Seniors Tennis Tour. All your old favorites together for charity sumo bouts.

Actually, that used to be done during the one-day tournaments... I've seen pics from 10 or so years ago where some of the younger oyakata used to "go at it."

As for puroresu, just pit him against Akebono in a charity match.

Now that could be fun. Asa against his hero Chiyonofuji! OK so there's a 25 year age gap, but still...

I can think of too many fun matchups that it might mean another thread split!

There have been rumors some time ago (at the time of his 2-basho-suspension, i think) and now again, that he would join K-1 or MMA.

I don't know if his harite-abilities are good enough, but at least he would be a much better threat than most Ex-Sumotori before (Akebono, Wakashoyo, Sentoryu).

But otherwise I think he should enjoy life now and play golf or attend charity soccer events or whatever he likes :-P

And..he knows how to deliver a punch. Just ask Kotooshu or that guy in the bar/restaurant ;-)

Can you remind us the Kotooshu episode? I don't know about this one

See Sekihiryu's post here :-P
