Before the Salt Throw - Sumo Podcast

With two Yokozuna's yet to really get firing and an Ozeki looking short of ammunition, will instead one of the Sekiwake take the opportunity for glory? Or will we see another surprise wrestler take the trophy? All to be discussed in the hype up to the September Basho

With the debut of the new Nagoya IG Arena will we see the debut Yokozuna take the top honours? Will the top debutantes to the top division shine? Or will we see a new debut Emperor's Cup winner?

All is discussed on the July Basho Recap.

Finally after 5 years two Yokozuna will grace the dohyo, but will out wrestle the other? Will the new Yokozuna stamp his authority with a tournament win? Or will a dark horse rise out of no where to sweep them both? All to be discussed in this episode

Do we have a new Yokozuna? Do we have a new Ozeki?

Has the current Yokozuna finally had a tournament to be proud of? Or were all these possibilities undone by a dark horse?

All will be covered in the recap of the May Basho

After pulling out of the last tournament midway, will the new Yokozuna be back with a vengeance, or will the Ozeki be there to spoil the party once again. Plus we cannot avoid the question: just how far can the Takayasu train go?

All this and more in the Hype up for the May Basho

What was the result of the new Yokozuna's first tournament? Will an Ozeki reign supreme or will an underdog rise from the ranks.

With no Hype up it will be hard to be truly prepared for March, however the recap will leave no stone unturned (or minimal at least)

For the first time in recent memory we have not one but TWO potential new Yokozunas. Who will be triumphant, which will live up to the hype and which will ponder on what could have been? And with the return of Terunofuji, how will he live up to expectations?

All are covered in this recap of the January Basho.

Kicking the year off with a bang as not one but TWO Yokozuna potentials battle to see who could become the newest top Rikishi. Can either do it, or will someone else spoil the party?

Join me as we hype up the January Basho

Finishing off the year in style, or leave us wanting a new start?

A recap of the Kyushu Tournament to conclude what has been an epic year of Sumo

In the last tournament of the year will there be a last minute twist? A prophecy fulfilled or a redemption arc complete? Or perhaps one we least expect will raise the cup. All covered in the hype up for the November Tournament
