As if day 8 could get any more awesome… Well Wakaichro has a match day 8 as well. It’s against Shinyashiki from Otake beta. He’s been in sumo for 28 tournaments, so he brings some experience to the dohyo. He’s much lighter than our Texas rikishi, but I am sure he makes up for that in skill. His highest ever rank is Sandanme 60.

With us live blogging and possibly having folks inside the Kokugikan, I am sure there will be no shortage of coverage of this match.
