anybody ever watch sumo wrestling? its actually very interesting and impressive. these dudes weight 300-400 pounds and are surprisingly explosive/athletic. my favorite is Tochinishin, a behemoth 6'4 360lber from the country of Georgia. I also like Hahuko, the Mongolian Yokozuna.

Not to rain on your parade, but it's one of the most crooked sports in existence.




Not that I care, but it's interesting...."its in the data".

Oh I'm sure, with all the prestige I guarantee there is cheating and politics... but it's entertaining and the sumos are surprisingly athletic

sumo is cheating, in any context.

Watched a couple vids of sumo wrestling, looks cool. There are some crazy takedowns and 400lb dudes going flying.

I used to watch pretty regularly, but I lost interest, I guess. I remember Hakuho's way up to Yokozuna at least.
