SUMO - 2023 Aki Basho (Sept 10th - Sept 24th)

Stormtrooper85 said:
I wonder sometimes about the amount of competing they have to do per year. I know at one point like 100 years ago almost they had 4 basho a year and briefly 3. I understand at this time Japan had some other things going on some more pressing matters. Is there any harm outside of tradition in dropping 1 basho a year even 2?
The amount of injuries that could be reduced if these guys had some extra rest time. I know they won't but like 4 a year seems like it would only benefit sumo as a whole.

I’d be okay with 4 a year but you gotta think about all the guys out there in the lower divisions. It hurts them a lot to me less active.
 
Well i'm currently in hospital so i'll be missing a little bit of Sumo, though hopefully not too much.
 
Tree got uprooted while he tried some bizarre standing ezekiel choke. man, this guy has to learn what to do at the tachi-ai.
Gonoyama looking to increase the hamster ratio in the sanyaku.
That Kirishima-Asanoyama match, goddamn.
Hoshoryu almost lost this one. Just get your KK and let's forget about this tournament.
 
Man Hokuseiho is just clueless.
Shodai who is asking you for this?
This is shaping up to be a Takakeisho yusho I think.
Takayasu making his annual run at second place.
Nephew getting it together today

Did Natto get nuked again? Have a link?
 
Natto is on Rumble if anyone needs access.

Who TF is going to come out on top!?
 
Kirishima and Hoshoryu doing some Ozeki Sumo now.
Really rough start for Asanoyama.
Takakeisho still looking very strong.
Hokuseiho having nothing for Midorifuji is hilarious.
Ura winning and still trying spinning.

Nephew really was going for it today.

Btw Rumble has Natto on there no problem. It’s actually a very seamless app.

tbh, i hardly ever watch natto cause i watch the live stream on midnightsumo. i understand not everybody has time to sink hours into it, cause only the makuuchi is 2 hours long. the entire stream is 9 hours long, starting from the bottom division up. you see guys there that barely have any hair on their head yet.

also, i do it cause it's convenient. it's morning for me, but if i was in america, i surely would not get up at 2 in the morning to watch it. kinda why i stopped watching ufc events.

Yeah we don’t have the full access easily. Natto is nice because you get really everything you need to. A brief intro before the match, good graphics and replays. You don’t really miss anything whatsoever.
 
Well i didn't expect the Hokuseiho forklift to work on Kinbozan
Papayasu 1-6 week two incoming.
hoshoryu is completely off this tournament. he relaxed after making ozeki
Lord of Chaos Shodai, you just have to slap him a bit to activate looks like.

Shodai got locked in after that slap holy smokes.

Daieisho is definitely injured he just looks so deflated.

Nephew barely trying.
 
(Day 7)

Kotoeko was robbed.
The NHK announcer tried to explain by "dead body" but he sounded like he knew it wasn't making any sense. Kotoeko won beautifully but his opponent got senile staff's gift.

I'm rooting for the first yusho of takayasu but my confidence level is below zero.
