It appears I was wong.

Terunofuji was abscent so much it feels like normal to not have a Yokozuna wrestling. We are in need of a consistant wrestler...

Was the pressure too heavy?

Stoyan Zaimov

Maybe he'll come back from this and win all remaining 6 matches now the yokozuna pressure is off?

Not only Was Hoshoryu 8-0 on the head-to-head with Hiradoumi but also on the 7th of January Hiradoumi visited the Tatsunami Beya where he fought Hoshoryu 30 times. Hoshoryu 25 - 5 HIradoumi. That's how much of an upset it was. I must also remind others that both his Uncle and Hakuho became yokozuna at 22. He failed this time not because he is too young but because he's not good enough right now. I predict he'll probably become Yokuzuna around the same age Harumafuji and Kakuryu did but they had to fight Hakuho while Hoshoryu had nobody in his way.

UPSET! OMG!

I feel a bit sorry for Hoshoryu, the pressure inside and out must be monumental. He’s only 25 years old, it’s not easy to handle these things when you’re young.

Justice!

Well there goes the excitement for this basho… good grief I think we may be in for a 2-3 year spell of no Yokozuna

King Rama
