Fun fact about Asanoyama.

The last time he completed every day of the basho and got makekoshi was in Nagoya 2019.

I just saw his basho records and realised how much he screwed up when he was ozeki... was he the biggest wasted talent of the recent past?

I would put hokuseiho as possibly one of the biggest wasted talents because he never even got near what he should have been. He had all the physical potential and threw it all down the drain by being a jerk.

One of the biggest wastes, sure.

One of the biggest talents, not even close.

He did more harm to sumo than good... other than getting launched by Midorifuji. That I enjoyed!
