I'm keeping Ichinojo because if I get assigned him I get to learn if being big and drunk is the best base in a fight.

all right it's squad selection time! Y/O Takakeisho Shodai (the Angriest Hamster or... Shodai? I don't want either! But we'll go with this) S/K Tobizaru Tamawashi Wakatakakage M1-5 Takayasu Ura Wakamotoharu M6-10 Tochinoshin Endo Myogiru M11+ Kotoeko Kotosho Oho I'm going more with 'wrestlers I would like to see win' than 'wrestlers I think will actually win', which is probably not the right attitude, but since many times 'wrestlers I think will actually win' has been hilariously wrong... why not? And I never liked Ichinojo so I'm feeling nothing here about his news. I'm more broken that I might have to cheer for Shodai.

Welcome to anyone who showed up via the forums announcement! Cool to get a shout out. I feel bad for Ichi, I hope he's able to figure his situation out okay. I don't like to hear that he got so drunk he was frightening to the okami-san  rare Magic card l00k posted:Switch my M1-5 to: Will do! Just make sure you edit your original post, since that's what I'll use to populate the spreadsheet.

I don't gather any draft picks before I announce it, and then I go through the list of posts. We're all free to decide we hate Ryuden or love Wakamotoharu or whatever until Saturday night.

Ichinojos technique of just leaning on someone until they get tired is just him being too hungover to fight FTW

Hope Ichi gets some help. If his drinking is to a point where it's loving up his career and threatening women a quarter of his size, dude needs some professional help and unfortunately I doubt the sumo world is very progressive on mental health issues... Also I'm trying to imagine how scary it would be for an average 5 foot nothing, 100 lb, 50ish year old Japanese lady to have Ichinojo go after her.

drat, hoping the Ichi story is more alcoholism and less physical abuse, can be supportive of one but not so much the other On another note, there is a lot of disrespect being put on Kadoban Shodai in this thread, don't y'all know that's when he's at his most dangerous? Ride or Shodai.

Alcohol abuse has been rampant in sumo but it seems like it's not a problem if it doesn't get violent. Will be interesting to see how the JSA deals with Ichinojo

Chris sumo mentioned that Shodai has diabetes and is finding it difficult to manage it which is sapping his strength. Unless he turns it round quick I can see him dropping from Ozeki.

i think ichinojo should drink or not drink but he should keep his loving hands to himself when not on the dohyo.

If I understand the twitter thread correctly, he didn't threaten, but actually attacked / hit the Master's wife. https://twitter.com/SumoFollower/status/1590857655350095873?s=20&t=agN2IinX4GbMaLx2N56I3Q Sad that he has a drinking problem, and alcohol makes people do crazy stuff, but this seems too far, and it's wild that this alone doesn't get him suspended or something.

I'm hoping "raised hands" is a translation issue where the Japanese original means something like threatening gestures like holding your hand up like your threatening to backhand someone or literally raising a fist like "I'm gonna get you". Still bad and he deserves whatever punishment he gets, but I hope she didn't actually get hit by a drunk, belligerent giant.

I know nothing about this but I'll be following since my other teams are done for their seasons and my vacation lines up with this month's events. I don't know enough to make rankings yet so for now I'll just say my top 3 are whoever is largest, whoever is smallest, and whoever is sassiest. Who would those be?

Hey, don't feel like you need to put together a team for the first time around. I highly suggest just watching and seeing if it's something you enjoy. Good chance you'll find at least a couple rikishi that you will enjoy their style of sumo. I personally enjoy the Waka brothers who are on the smaller side of the top division, the hamster Takakeisho with his slaps and the young Kotonowaka. The OP posts have lots of good resources to get you started.

Largest - Ichinojo (Yuck), Tochinoshin !(Lovable big bear!) Smallest - Terutsuyoshi (Hell yeah!) Sassiest - Shodai or Abi? Not sure if it matters, but I edited my picks to get rid of Letdown Snorlax

Hello sumo thread. I really liked Takanoyama back in the day bc of the technique vs size, David vs Goliath aspect. Who should I be looking out for now? Also, who are the best grapplers now? The matches where one of the dudes basically hoists the other dude up and carries him out of the ring are for sure the most fun to watch.

Yeah I don't really know if Ishiura plans to come back, it doesn't seem like it to me but I don't have much info. Keep in mind that Takanoyama is 185cm, he was skinny but not really short at all, Ichiyamamoto, Abi and Kiribayama are probably closer comparisons, though obviously none of them are quite as lean as he was. As for the best grapplers, there's not really anyone left right now who's entirely picking anyone up anymore, Tochinoshin is still there but his body won't really let him do this successfully when he tries, as much as he wants to. I'd say Wakamotoharu probably has the most impressive grappling technique in the past year, but Ura pulls off some really weird kimarite sometimes too, Brut fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Nov 11, 2022 |
