Great basho so far!!!

 

[Majorrich]

Watching on NHK here, there appear to be women attempting to take on the posture princess mantle. But they can’t string together multiple days of sitting like stones

 

[Majorrich]

I just noticed some guys swallow the water of power, some spit it out. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason.

 

[Luecke3262]

@Majorrich i need all the power I can get! I’m drinking it for sure!

 

[Majorrich]

That probably explains Wakatakakages record. Had to henna to get a win

 

[Cvargo]

What a Basho!

 

[Majorrich]

Concerned for Onosato, but thrilled for Aonishiki

Catching up on the Basho. Now on Day 13. Is the clay extra slippery down in Fukuoka? Feel like so many rikishi are slipping or loosing their footing this time around.

What an excellent first three days of the Hatsu Basho! Some early shakeups and several torinaoshi were called! Fantastic!

Who else is watching with me??

 

[Majorrich]

I have concluded Takayasu’s battle face is terrifying!

No joke, he was in rare form today! Tremendous slap too!

 

[Spider]

What an excellent first three days of the Hatsu Basho!

I didn't even know it started. Since we gave up on doing the contest here, I'm out of the loop.

Yeah, next Basho I will put one together. Maybe we can get some new folks watching!

 

[Cvargo]

Excellent start to the basho

 

[Luecke3262]

A couple of big upsets on day 4! Love seeing this!

 

[EMG06]

Day 4, lots of interesting bouts.

And Yoshinofuji is a giant killer!

 

[Majorrich]

I think Ura was wronged.

 

[Luecke3262]

How about Yoshinofuji? That guy slayed both Yokozuna in back to back days!!!

Also, it’s pretty surprising that we don’t have any undefeated sanyaku wrestlers, just rank and filers. Obviously, it’s still early in the tournament, but it feels like an omen of change.
