It is nice that in the end, the complaints that Hakuho faced are mostly that he was too drat good and would gently caress with people. And when you're that good, doing things like henkaing a rival yokozuna is just hilarious.

anakha posted:If nothing else, Asanoyama's fall from grace should hopefully make the grumpy old farts ease up… I’m gonna stop you right there… What I’m gonna love is the fact that the two guys who catch the most poo poo- Takakeisho (One trick pony, runs out of gas in about 15 seconds) and Shodai (Being Shodai) are both gonna get the tonguebath treatment as Hakuho bows out and Teru takes the heir apparent slot, if not the rope itself. If they stumble what’s left? Maybe Taco Bear improves with a new coach come August? Abi redemption tour?

Finally watched that Chris sumo video on Asanoyama and the institutions surrounding his pandemic transgression. I don't feel sorry for Asanoyama at all but my negative opinions about what he did have been spread out a bit more now. Wonderful piece of journalism and even though he can be a little pompous I've grown to find it kind of endearing and he's easily the best English language sumo news source I've come across.

That's when he sounds the most English to me. But he is the best English language sumo news source around for me anyway. I really hope Endo can get it together and kick on just a handful of bashos at san'yaku level is pretty meager for someone who started so brightly.

I think you mean AOIYAMA. The only correct capitalization.

Says Asanoyama is still ozeki? edit: ah of course, he is just going to be treated as a no-show here and for the next half year
|
# ? Jun 21, 2021 04:59 |

He went 10-5 in March, so his 7-5-3 in May means that he’s kadoban now. He’ll lose ozeki after his 0-0-15 in July.
