WSL Video

I found this on Youtube this morning, I thought we might have a thread to collect some of this stuff.

It is from 'Nude Hippo: Your Chicago Show' and shows a few bouts with really, really crap wrestling.

The rest of the video is pretty tooth-grating and makes the event seem very, very cheesy.

Not exactly what I was hoping for, I have to say.

Great. Exactly the kind of publicity Sumo doesn't need. (Sign of disapproval)

Let's just focus on Israel instead...

This guy just posted a bunch of videos, looks like he caught the Capoeira segment and the paegentry stuff. It is a bit rough to watch the fist pumping and grandstanding to the crowd. Still, waaaaay better then the Nude Hippo coverage. Way.

The match might have been decent, alas, the behaviour at the end was not. (Dribbling...)

Considering that these guys come from an amasumo background, I'm sure they know how they're supposed to act. They must have been asked to add a bit of showboating to get the crowd pumped up, which is understandable considering the venue and audience. Pretty tough for anyone here to watch, though.

I may be wrong here. Do amasumo wrestlers usually give each other low-fives after tournament bouts? Are they expected to accept the 'fate' of the loss as the Ozumo guys do?

At least I'm glad to wash the taste out of my mouth after the first video.
