It has finally happened. Ryan not only reclaims his Best Banzuke Guy status in the Guess the Banzuke rankings, but he also got 1st place in the whole dang contest. Certainly this won't go to his head.

With less than 2 weeks until the Sumo World Championships in Poland, we sit down with Mighty Eagle Sumo's Jay Scriven, the 2024 men's heavyweight national champ.
