  1. But can I still VPN the UWW site from Canadia? That's the real question.
  2. Natto posts the top 3 divisions: Makushita, Juryo and Makuuchi...with Makuuchi being the top. Hop on the Sumo train, Smalls! As mentioned, he gets shut down pretty regularly, so you just need to search for NattoSumo: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOhpHpQKHzSSPIYC4fIh5Q
  3. Horshoru's kakenage against Hiradoumi was fantastic.
  4. I was living in Japan, briefly back in 92-93 when Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishki (remember him?) were all wrestling. Wak/Tak were great to watch back then. I remember seeing the smallest rikishi at that time, Mainoumi go against Konishki....probably 200+ pound difference. I truly enjoy watching the smaller rikishi with their speed and agility go against bigger and heavier ones. The fact that there are no weight classes in Sumo is an amazing part of the sport. I highly recommend a book, The Way of the Salt for anyone interesting in knowing more about the history and tradition of the sport. Once I left Japan, there was no way to follow sumo, so my interest went to zero, but with YT and several dedicated ppl in Japan, we are able (albeit, NHK, who owns the rights to broadcast) to watch. Several also broadcast on Twitch, but time difference makes in almost impossible for watching where I live.
  5. I follow Sumo each basho. Makushita, Juryo and Makuuchi divisions. Very easy to get caught up in the sport and the Japanese culture. Favorite rikishi: Akiseyama, Enho, Midorifuji, Ura, Horshoru, Tobizaru, Daiesho, WMH, Asanoyama. The athleticism and flexibility for MOST of these rikishi is amazing. Agreed upon NattoSumo for your viewing. Excellent info for each wrestler, heya, records, etc.
  6. I heard he wanted to be a Runnin' Bulldog at Gardner-Webb, just so he could get his own Member's Only jacket and revitalize Member's Only Mondays.
  7. How Vito Arujau Teched DeSanto in 50 seconds.

  9. What's the backstory re Henry/Terry? Thx. OTC?
  10. Nah, I'd just say that ppl think you are a tool for being you. All love tho, bro.
  11. Nah, I've seen enough of eyeglass homicide for a while. I just thought of it bc ESPN cuts out as soon as HWT is over and there is no true "wrap up" of the matches. But if you can find and post them, that would be cool.
  12. WGAS....a coach brought 5 to the table. JFC, you are such a tool.
  13. Tourney Coach of the year? Seems like someone who brought 5 to the table should have won it, no?
  14. Nah,he showed up to promote himself. It's what he does.
  15. Anyone able to post all 10 here?
