Gyoji please don't commit suicide.  Could someone shed some light on the importance of the dropping of the envelope? The crowd seemed a bit shook by that as well.

I predict a 5-minute long snoozer that doesn't end until one of them falls asleep. The immovable object meets.. the immovable object.

Chiyotairyu is out with a knee injury sustained in the last match. Poor Osunaarashi, all these injuries have 'promoted' him into the meat grinder again, he's going to find it tough with his heel.

At least Gagamaru's gone. He's 4-7 in Juryo so I think we can probably expect not to see him back in Makuuchi for a while.

Speaking of old, what Kyokutenho's doing is amazing. Only one win away from a winning record at the age of 40. He's competing against wrestlers who weren't born when he started his career.

He's competing against wrestlers who weren't born when he started his career. I keep wondering to myself how he's still going so well in such an unforgiving sport. I'm amazed his body hasn't broken down by now, but I hope he keeps going! I have to imagine if he ever wins a tournament again he'd retire after that. What better time to go out than at the top? Aside from that, I have no idea when he might go. I would guess a major injury that would require him to miss a tournament would do it. Also, Ichinojo just loving with Kise was great, but man I would have loved to see him take him down without a stupid henka. Hilarious that Kise fell for it, though.

Ichinojo is amazing. I am absolutely loving this run. I really hope we get to see Ichinojo vs Hakhuo, I am sure it would be incredible. Props to Aminishiki this basho as well, he's on fire. I've always enjoyed his wily wrestling in the past and I hope he can finish with a great record this time.

I saw a little sperg about Ichinojo on junk news yesterday. When asked about what surprised him about Japan after growing up in rural Mongolia, he replied "Plumbing. You just twist a handle and water comes out!  " Dude used to have to carry 20 liters of water from the local river multiple times a day.

Day 13: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5j3coTXn5E Still trying to figure out how to pronounce "okurihikiotoshi". Congrats to Kyokutenho for his kachikoshi! Hooooooly poo poo Goeido!!! There is no  big enough for that Ichinojo-Kakuryu bout - both with the result and how the bout was won.anakha fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Sep 26, 2014 |

Goddamn, that was weird. Ichinojo making Kakuryu looking like a chump with that henka was hilarious though. Also, Tochinoshin still without a loss.

I think when Hakuho lost Ichinojo was thinking, "I don't loving care about 'good sumo', I need to win today." Absolutely incredible. Maybe he intentionally jumped the gun to get Kakuryuu to overcommit?

I was rewatching the two Tochinoshin-Ichinojo bouts from the previous basho, and Ichinojo looks like he's very difficult to unbalance or move around while both feet are planted, but it's a completely different story once one foot leaves the ground. Ikioi's win over Ichinojo this basho seems to bear that out.

This is what I meant earlier when I very poorly described Ichinojo as a stable wrestler.

Day 14 - here we go... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K97fvdI9MgQ Yikes - make that a partial Day 14 due to the volcano... The next stage of crowdsurfing - rikishi surfing!  at Kintamayama's commentary on Takarafuji-Goeido.Guess that was Kisenosato's karma for loving up the tachi-ai three times. Hakuho won that one at the tachi-ai by beating Ichinojo to the ideal mawashi grip, I think. anakha fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Sep 27, 2014 |

Day 15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPOOgoUi4no Takayasu-Aoiyama was pretty drat good. Figured there would be a Osunaarashi-Endo bout - not suprised they'd save it until the last day. 31 yusho - still a major anyway you look at it.I'll be shocked if Ichinojo doesn't get ranked up into the meat grinder in November. anakha fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Sep 28, 2014 |

Tochinoshin got 15-0  I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can do back in form in Makuuchi. (Now watch the board promote him all the way to J1)

That's a lot of envelopes. The little spin at the edge that Aoiyama had there was pretty neat to see.
