Anyone else enjoying the Nagoya Basho and Hakuho's return? He's won two and looks strong!

Brew · 5 July 2021, 11:00 PM

I guess not! lol

Here is the GOAT's Day #1 victory (ff to 4:31):

Amazing how they avoid touching the ground with anything but the bottom of their feet.

Here is today's punishing victory.

Endo shouldn't have stuck his tongue out last time they fought!

AK797 · 5 July 2021, 11:05 PM

I am, very interesting that Hakuho comes back just in time to maybe stop the next Yokozuna, Terunofuji, who must win to become one, if they are both there at the end that will be an epic climax.

Nagoya-basho has a special place for me, I spent a summer in Japan with some family friends when I was a teenager and we all watched the golden days of Akebono, Takanohana, Wakanohana and Konishiki do battle.

Brew · 5 July 2021, 11:17 PM

Teru looks very very strong since returning to the top division. What a final battle that would be! They match up very well, when the Yokozuna is at 100%. I'm not sure he's there now . . . .

You sure got enjoy some wonderful wrestlers when you were younger. I don't think we'll see talent like that again soon. And this is likely Hakuho's last basho.

AK797 · 6 July 2021, 04:23 AM

You think he retires after this, or goes to the end of the year?

I think he's done after the Olympics.

I was lucky enough to see Akebono perform Sumo here in Las Vegas before he stopped wrestling...

Brew · 6 July 2021, 05:15 AM

He was a giant! The WWE stuff was kinda sad, imo.

Top tier... not bad for an American.

it was a special event that was put on here in Vegas... they even shipped the Temple over from Japan for the event. I do believe it was the only time that temple had been outside Japan at that time.

Many years ago

I was in Vegas also to watch Sumo many years back. Huge Sumo fan here and so glad Hakuhō is back. Will enjoy watching him demolish all other current wrestlers whom are far below his level. I sure miss the days of Takanohana, Wakanohana, Musashimaru, and Akebono when they were evenly matched. Best era of Sumo IMO.

GB-man · 6 July 2021, 09:40 AM

Seems like Khalil Mack could be a stud in sumo. Either way thanks for sharing. Never watched a sumo match.

Channel 322 on DirectTV. July Basho day 2 is today so there is a lot or Sumo left. If you record the show called Sumo Highlights its only 30 minutes long. Quite enjoyable. I even have my lady watching it...and next to those bodies...I look like a supermodel.

When I first watched Sumo, back in that baking hot Japanese summer, the brothers were actually called Takahanada and Wakahanada, and I think Taka retired the great Chiyonofuji just a basho before so I never saw him wrestle.

After Hakuho and maybe Terunofuji, it's hard to see where the next great Yokozuna will come from, it's a pretty low standard era.

Brew · 7 July 2021, 04:09 AM

Day #3, the GOAT has no trouble at all!

Brew · 7 July 2021, 09:06 PM

Day #4, Hakuho wins again!

Brew · 8 July 2021, 08:57 PM

No false starts from the GOAT on Day #5!

AK797 · 9 July 2021, 09:18 PM

Hakuho and Teru are both 5-0, this could be leading to a great final confrontation. I believe even if Teru does not win this basho he could still be promoted to Yokozuna if he has a one loss record to Hakuho, as he has won the last two tournys as well.

Knappo 1307 · 9 July 2021, 09:21 PM

Gazoontite....

Brew · 9 July 2021, 09:47 PM

Day #6, Hakuho, again!

Teru won too, but I'm still looking for a standalone vid.

Easy one for the big ozeki.

Brew · 10 July 2021, 08:25 PM

The Flying Monkey (a/k/a Tobizaru) didn't want any part of the GOAT on Day #7

Brew · 11 July 2021, 08:45 PM

Day #8, the Yokozuna is cruising (right through a judge!).

Brew · 13 July 2021, 03:54 AM

Day #9 results, same as the first 8 . . . .

But it all honesty, I don’t know a thing about any of this, but to those of you that are fans, enjoy the matches and may whomever you are rooting for win.

austinp · 13 July 2021, 08:15 AM

I watched the videos posted and really enjoyed it. Pretty incredible how nimble these massive people are.

Brew · 13 July 2021, 07:55 PM

If the big Yokozuna keeps cruising, like this, he may stick around for a bit yet . . . .

Teru is also still perfect. It looks like we'll have a new Yokozuna soon!

Moondoggy · 13 July 2021, 08:11 PM

I like learning new stuff. Thanks.

Excellent. I'll try to keep posting, then.

I can add some vids that explain some of the pageantry, if TRF is interested?

zama · 14 July 2021, 06:36 PM

Sorry dont check in often yep I watch all matches from the two salaried divisions every night. One of the biggest events in sumo history if Hakuho and Teronofuji go through to last day unbeaten. Hakuho has already proved he was capable of coming back as big as ever with 10-0 as of the time I write. I still think he might retire this basho no matter what. Great to see big Ichi going well.

Brew · 14 July 2021, 10:42 PM

An imposing win earlier today, Day #11
