Sumo and the NFL Combine 26.04.2026 55min

Could a rikishi make it in the NFL Draft? I'm at the Rollertown Showdown in Dallas, Texas this weekend, but my friend Tyler was kind enough to join us and break down what sumo skills translate to American football and vice versa. What do you think? How would a rikishi fare in NFL or college football and who would you pluck out of American Football to try their hand in the dohyo?

Isegahama Verdict: How Do You Grow Past Violence? 12.04.2026 1h 4min

Not the most joyous episode, but we finally have a verdict on the Isegahama / Hakunofuji violence incident from the JSA. Former Yokozuna Terunofuji has been demoted 2 ranks in the elder pyramid but will not lose his stable. Instead the 5 elders at the stable will administer the stable as a council. For sumo though, violence still needs to be pushed out of the wrestlers' home lives and with that in mind I was lucky enough to have a friend who happens to be a psychologist specializing in trauma, PTSD, and working with military veterans to talk turn around my negative mentality and start me thinking on positive routes to growth going forward. I hope our free flowing conversation where he guided me from frustrated and despondent to fired up and ready to affect change can help you like it did me. 0:00 Intro 1:43 News (Superstar Tour, Takayasu Healthy, Onosato Practicing) 4:02 Summary of JSA Ruling 10:40 Criticism from Nikkan Sports 13:22 History of Violence in Sumo 16:19 How do you grow past violence and trauma?
