Terunofuji intends to retire

Recommended Posts

Yeah, the second I saw him lose like that I knew he would. He has ten, entering didn't seem reasonable but I guess you have to try. I'm still mad at what he did to the Geek.

Sad but necessary for his future development. A truly inspirational story. Wish him a great deal of success inheriting such a storied stable. Hope he could raise at least as many yokozunas as his shisho did.

I’m actually a little relieved, hopefully now he can slim down a little and get that diabetes under control. His story is an inspiring one for any injured wrestler hoping to make a come back, just imagine what he could’ve been if his knees had held up from the start!

This time the NSK was prompt - other intai press conference digests take days till they get posted

Kyodo a little later posted the full intai press conference - much better quality than NiTele, but the photo shoot cut short

ANN(Asahi) just a short news clip 

Actually TV Asahi as usual later posted the full intai press conference as well (premium quality)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3USGTm2f2Iw

with photo shoot

According to this article

  1. Terunofuji is going to inherit Isegahama-beya
  2. The new heya location is already under construction and should be ready when the takeover happens
  3. Current Isegahama (ex-Asahifuji) will borrow Takarafuji's Kiriyama kabu
  4. When Takarafuji retires, ex-Asahifuji will become NHK's exclusive analyst (the late Kitanofuji's role)

It's a tabloid, I think.

Saying the same thing here I said in another venue yesterday when the article was brought up there - the whole thing reads like pure guesswork + fan fiction to me. The best part is the anonymous "young oyakata" who somehow knows absolutely everything, from the state of the Terunofuji/Hakuho personal relationship, to Terunofuji's business dealings, to what's on upcoming board of director agendas. (The idea that Asahifuji will be a lame duck sanyo whose time could end at any moment also strikes me as rather fanciful. That is, if the Kyokai were to allow the suggested arrangement to begin with, which I'm also skeptical about.)
