Mine's still at the absolute basics. I've not really gotten into Sumo the same way I have with MMA or Boxing but this thread has given me a greater appreciation for the skill involved and I watch the highlights but simply because it's entertaining to watch. I'm probably the most casual Sumo fan in the world lol!

Yeah there's still loads that confuse me about the sport but I'm enjoying watching it. I may not know my Juryo's from my Makuuchi's but I do know that watching 2 big men trying to floor each other is entertaining to watch!

Interesting video about sumo match fixing.
Disgraced former rikishi Takagenji (twin brother of Rizin fighter/ also disgraced former rikishi, Tsuyoshi Sudario) gives his opinion on who is and isn't fixing sumo matches.

Get your picks in for Katchi Clash!!!
Katchi Clash is basically the Sumo equivalent of Tapology. The goal is to pick the rikishi with the best record in each level of top division. Whoever has the lineup with the most victories wins it all.
Y'all have four more days left to make your picks!!!

Not really tbh. Most of my favourite MMA fighters or boxers are based a lot on what they're like outside of the cage/ring as well but with all the Japanese tradition, there doesn't really seem to be a lot of room for individuality (I've never seen a trash talking sumo wrestler with a hohawk, covered in tattoos for instance). I think could be partly why.

Could just be that I've missed a lot of that. Or maybe my brain is just struggling to comprehend sumo because of how different it is to other combat sports.

My picks. I'm well and truly on the Takakeisho train now (partly because I love him, and partly because I couldn't draft Teru for my fantasy sumo league so now I have to hope he does well)
