Rare event

There was a feature in the paper about a sumo tournament that was held in London last week. I’ve been told this ultra-Japanese sport was on Channel 4 in the 1990s.
    This was back in the era of the ginormous Hawaiian Dump Truck, Chiyonofuji, a.k.a. the Wolf, and the bad boy Futahaguro, who became a yokozuna grand champion on the strength to second place in 6 tournaments rather than ever winning one, had a bust-up with his manager and switched to the unreal world of TV wrestling.
    These days, sumo is all over the internet. Not that it’s ever occurred to me to look for it.
