I am sure that some of you wonder why the hell I post so many sumo pictures. To me it is a great sport. It is simple, violent, quick. That's all I really need in a sport. There is no show boating, trash talking, or bitching about not getting paid enough. Most of these guys (the lower ranking guys) fight for free! It takes skill and strength to win. AND even if you do win you can't show emotion, you have to bow to the loser with a straight face. They fight hurt and healthy. And your are only as good as your last win. Getting to the top isn't something good to these guys. . .Why? Because it means that EVERYONE in gunning for their top spot.
