"The Wall"-Asashouryuu

[Kintamayama]

"I'll be the wall between KaioU and his tsunatori aspirations", said Asa, again.

Cool caption-"Asa and KaioU-tsunahiki(tsuna pulling)". Tsunahiki is actually a tug of war. A "Tsuna-hickey" is probably something else.

Hmm.. I just noticed that "wall" can be read as "Heki".. Heki hiki hickey.

Asa throws Touki at keiko:

And all these years I've thought a rikishi can inflict only a single loss to another guy during the honwari... Perhaps Asashoryu knows better.

[Jakusotsu]

Asashoryu's self-imposed wallishness implies winning the yusho instead of Kaio, so I think.

[Coo-cook]

I don't know. I hope, Asa's talking what he really means.It's only one bout with Kaio. But, Kaio should be one,who should fly over a cuckook's nest.

The loss to Kotomitsuki was so disappointing.I'm still looking for a big "do or die" showdown with Asa.

Most likely, yes, but even then you're bound to find yourself at YW if you keep churning 14-1's for a decade or so. :-P Well, make that 13-2 now after the loss to Mickey.

Kaio's head remains the wall between hmself and the aforementioned tsuna.

a couple more of these displays and he can kiss the tsuna goodbye.

Asa is just messing with U's head

all in all it's just another brick in the wall :-D

Would "insurrmountable wall" be something like "great wall", or "Ozeki - 大関" ? Did 'Shoryu mean he was gonna be an Ozeki, just a plain, ordinary Ozeki to Kaio? That may explain things on senshuraku ;-)

Perhaps it was a secret message telling us that he already expected to be a Yokozuna-Ozeki soon...

Is their such a thing as a Ozeki-Yokozuna? :-P

Those were the times... (Welcome...) If Kaio had the will our people had at those days, he would annihilate Asa and every other, 15-0.

This thread was just begging for... "all in all, you're just another brick in the wall..." (not my creation) (Blinking...)

It was used already by Naifuzan about 12 posts above yours..

[Yoavoshimaru]

;-) Doh! Inter-basho laziness...

[asa_love]

asa acts as the WALL for everyone..

ozekis get promoted with 2 consecutive yushos, right?

kaio won, then asa blocked him

chiyotaikai won, then asa blocked him

then tochiazuma won, and asa blocked him

kaio won again, and asa blocked him with a yusho after that again..(forgot the actual order.. )

i guess its just that asa wont let himself lose yusho 2 times in a row...i DO want kaio to make it to yokozuna though...

actually perhaps iwakiyama deserves being called a "wall" more.. his face is just like one

[Yoavoshimaru]

Well, that is the role of the yokozuna. When an ozeki can consistenly thrive in the face of strong yokozuna competition, he deserves the promotion.

true, my opinion. More, if a yokuzuna scores a zensho yusho a 13-2 should not be a yusho equivalent.

btw, it looks more like Asashoryu being the ladder. If he had won against Kaio, Kaio would have to start from the beginning again.
