Well it appears the greatest sporting event on the planet is coming right where it belongs....Las Vegas. And what sporting event and I am referring to you ask? I am of course referring to a Grand Sumo Tournament!
That rights. Pick yourself up off the floor and take a look at the Mandalay Bay site to get your tickets for the October 7th-9th event. For those of you who have never seen this you should try to get out there as it is a spectacle and a half. I have had the great fortune to see this in Tokyo and to witness the incredible fucking awesomeness of Yokozuna Asashoryu Akinori who has won an incredible 12 tournaments out of the last 16 including all 4 this year. For those of you wanting to get a better glimpse or idea of what makes this sport rock I suggest checking out the Nihon Sumo Kyokai Official Grand Sumo Home Page.
Also for other fun Sumo links check out the following:
Hope a few people can check this out or at least enjoy this in some way as I think it is very worthwhile. And the other cool thing; no bets in the casinos on the event at all.
