Sumo Wrestling is Japan's national sport. It originated in ancient times as religious performances to the Shinto gods. The basic rules of Sumo are simple: The wrestler who either touches the floor with something other than his sole first or leaves the ring before his opponent, loses. (Add picture)

Always amazes me how they get their arses into those weird jock strap things and how their balls don't pop out, got to be a five just to watch them eating behind the scenes, watched a documentary on it one time...

So many of these people have opinions on something they know nothing about. I lived in Korea 3 years and watched Sumo on a Japanese cable channel. 6 tournaments a year, lasting 15 days. You could only understand Sumo by watching the entire ritual. The hour summary ESPN used to carry was ok but was like saying you understood football by watching only Superbowl highlights. The sport is ancient and complex and the effort necessary to be good is worthy of respect. Americans are so intensely shallow!

Ugh- Who wants to see fat, disgusting people push each other around? There are better sports out there that actually have a point.

Alright, they're not the most attractive of people, and maybe they aren't the kinds of people that the general public would want to see in giant thongs, but I sure wouldn't want to mess with those guys! I know it doesn't look like it, but they (er, most of them) are mostly muscle. I don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone's culture, and if I do upset someone I apologize, but there's something about two huge guys giving each other mega wedgies that make me crack up hysterically! Definately something worth watching at least once on TV!

Seriously, the only ones who are into these "freak shows" are the mentally warped!

Alright...they are fat and wearing hardly anything, but its the best combination of power, quickness, and strategy of any sport. Only problem is that a match only lasts a few seconds.

I'd rather attend an insurance seminar than watch this sport.

Imagine all the stuff they eat a day!!!! man probably enough to feed all the homless people in new york or chicago!!! and that's just one day dudes!!! and the way they do it just looks like jello blubbering around on a wet plate!!! It's wittingly funny and It's cool to watch them. all I do is laugh the entire time and then my little brother stuffs himself with pillows and acts liek a sumo wrestler. that's funny!!!

Gets my vote for the most ridiculous looking sport of all time. Huge, dangerously fat Baby Hughy’s waddling around in what for all intents and purposes look like diaper thongs, which BTW appear to be very ripe and more than ready for a change. You don’t know whether to laugh, cry or call a paramedic. Pee-U and change the channel!

I actually enjoy watching Sumo Wrestling. There is so much tradition and ritual - I especially love the pre match stare downs, which once would last up to an hour, but have now been legislated down to about 10 minutes. While the matches themselves rarely last more than a few seconds, it is a pretty intense burst of action. What's not to like about a sport that pits giant humans in diapers agains each other in a shoving match?
