Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michelle Stevens" data-source="post: 148076" data-attributes="member: 11">It's so sad to see him go. His reign as  the 72nd yokozuna didn't have too many highlights. That chest injury really set him back and I had though he was on the way back with his 10-5 record last September. It must be so hard to walk away from a world you dedicated your life to. The pressure must have been more intense since he was the sole Japanese yokozuna in quite some time. At least he'll still be in the sumo world in some way through his stable. <img src="http://www.sumo.or.jp/img/sumo_data/rikishi/270x474/20020024.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
