I wanted to post the good news from Herouth:
Hakuho will not be needing surgery. He re-joined the Jungyo at the end of the Shirakawa event.https://t.co/9u8LGvQB5m

Somehow, this song came to mind with the news. And now it is stuck in my head. If it sticks in someone else’s, I will be free.
Hakuho, please, please, please, please stay healthy (get healthy?) between now and September whatever. Every time I hear (arrggh) you are not competing or (egad, no!!) choose to leave a tournament partway through due to injury, it feels like a wet blanket the size of beautiful downtown Osaka has been thrown over the proceedings. Compete, dominate and reassure us all that you can do it any time you want. That’s not too much to ask from The King of the Ring, is it?
I honestly think that this version is much more to the point
