What do you think should be the minimum record he gets this basho to be considered for promotion, or do you think that after he wins this basho (which is not a foregone conclusion by any means) he should be required to win a 2nd in a row in March?

As you can see from the video titles, the result was a rematch, but I still think this is worth watching and I would have preferred it to all be in one video to avoid spoilers, but the 10-minute time limit here on Patreon meant I had to split it up.
