i have fallen in love with sumo in the past year, i root for a stable of wrestlers now called Futagoyama. i understand why joe wouldn't be into it because he knows he would become addicted too easily and it is awkward as an american to be a fan of anything japanese, people consider you a weirdo i think. it is a fair position for him to take, he is busy and has commitments already. there is something for everyone to love in this sport though. i think my favorite parts are the strategies and techniques, and also the fact that the sport is basically a time capsule spanning the entirety of the 2,000ish years of Japan's history. some of the characteristics of sumo we still see today were present from the first matches, including many of the rules. the japanese have a very advanced level of expertise when it comes to designing and producing things that are satisfying, including sumo, food, architecture, etc. i hope people will understand what i mean, but maybe this is just a matter of opinion.
Diaper!!!!!!…f#*k..they have no idea how insulting that is and it never stops! It's called a f€€-€ng MAWASHI!!! 😂 SUMO IS THE COOLEST, Oldest, most complex , spiritual SPORT, it's not even a sport, it's about spirituality, it's pure SHINTO!!!! Pure physics!! 1500 years old!
the best/worst thing about sumo is that you must compete and in each tournament you can lose your status/salary and every tournament is days long

John Tenta Take a look at his old sumo matches.. he became a WWF wrestler in the late 80's
It's the cultural difference that sets it apart. Very little of the entire ceremony is the actual grappling done.
