Kintamayama 45,252 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) Angry phone calls are pouring into the Kyokai offices for the last hours, after it appeared that Asashouryuu kicked Tamanoshima out of the ring today with his knee. "His feet stayed in, so I went with my body", he explained. Tamanoshima, who saw it later on video: "I hadn't noticed that. Stuff happens". "His knee was a bit high but it was in the course of his movement", explained Hanaregoma Judging Chief. Tamanoshima: "Oh yes, YES!!' Exclusive!! A second before the sign someone taped on Tamanoshima's ass fell off: Edited September 19, 2009 by Kintamayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Treblemaker 254 Posted September 19, 2009 To be absolutely honest, yeah, it was a "bum's rush"... on purpose or not, that was the intention. Still, that, AFAIK, is perfectly legal, what with the vicious trips and leg play we've seen fom Asa and other rikishi in the past. Let's face it. The Grand Yok plays with emotion. This would be perfectly within his character, to be added to the list of extra shoves, slaps, pushes and other finishing touches he's delivered while showing other guys "the door". I think in a previous life, Asa was a bouncer. When he decides to hang them up, any club in New york will hire him in a minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gusoyama 103 Posted September 19, 2009 Tamanoshima had clearly planted his feet and leaned back to regain his balance. Asa simply shoved him with his knee to make sure he was out. Nothing illegal or wrong or excessive about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kozaru 0 Posted September 19, 2009 Do people really make angry phone calls to the Association for stuff like this? Or is it just exaggeration? Is that what the old people do? Don't they have a Japanese forum they can bitch on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't they have a Japanese forum they can bitch on? Some people live for this. There's an old yiddish saying (the transliteration is close, but not quite on): "Sis git seshmisin auf yenem's tuchas." ("It's good to kick someone else's butt.") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
