HailSkins81 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 I bet Joe Salave'a would be good at Sumo. I bet he would too! I loved the Sumo guy in "The Replacements". That was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drockvb Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Yeah Sumo is pretty neat to watch. Nothing like that in the states. I like to see the Japanese carrying on their tradition. Sumo is less popular these days in Japan. Japanese youth are a different breed these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I used to love to watch Sumo when I was a kid... when I lived in Japan we only got one English channel so Sumo was one of the few japanese programs that I could watch. Something about it... even in sushi bars in America, a lot of times they'll have TV's with taped Sumo matches. It is oddly hypnotizing, you can watch it for hours. Also, don't think for one second those guys aren't athletes. I hate to say it but an NFL lineman...even a Willie Roaf... would get owned by even an amateur Sumo wrestler. There is so much technique and so much strategy involved... they spend lifetimes trying to become good. It wouldn't be a fair fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumo is less popular these days in Japan. Japanese youth are a different breed these days. According to ESPN, it is gaining in popularity. It would be ashamed to see it lose popularity in Japan, though. I enjoy watching other sports now and then. Lacrosse, Field Hockey, Rugby and Australian Rules football are fun to watch. I can't really get into Basketball or baseball except in the playoffs, or if I actually get to go to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebowski Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 MMA is getting so big over there that it doesn't suprise me to hear that Sumo is losing popularity. They also love Pro Wrestling and kickboxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lamb Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 They would be good lineman. When will they be scouted? I think that would be interesting to have a Yokzuna at right gaurd. That would be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEJ2200 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I love watching those fat @$* go through their lard exercises. It just seems they keep showing the same matches over and over and over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Personally, I wish they would replace Sumo with the NFL over here so I could watch more Skins games. Especially this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
