Random note: My wife remembers Takayasu because of how uncommonly hairy he is compared to the other wrestlers!

A few years ago he got off to a good start and the guys on reddit were calling him Cocaine Bear.

Thoughts from today.

Tamawashi has some slick old man moves 😆. Just fantastic.

Holy crap, Kinbozan hit Endo with all his frustrations of this tournament.

Pink magic is a marvelous name for Ura.

Tamawashi reminds me of when I was a kid and would randomly ask my dad to compete at something with me only to discover he was like Michael Jordan compared to me. That old man strength/magic is something else. Since we're the same age, I'm loving watching him beat down these whippersnappers.

My wife noticed that Endo looked off after his day 9 loss and when he lost on day 10 she immediately expressed concussion concerns. I hope he's ok.

My wife said the same. Endo often looks exhausted/out of it after a match, but he definitely seemed more rocked than usual in the last two days.

For sure. He did not look good get up.

I’m glad that Onosato didn’t sustain any ankle damage in that bout. Could have been nasty!

Exciting matches! Always sad to see my fav Midorifuji lose, but Onosato v Takayashu was fun to watch. Loved your breakdown of the fight.
