 mrmojohalen (6468) | After all these years, he’s training to leap off the drum riser. When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor? mrmojohalenQuote |

Perhaps there’s a quick edit between the jumpsuit clip and the stage shot that follows, but VH played in the daylight at Anaheim Stadium, not at night. ffonerQuote |

 guitard (7354) | I used to watch a lot of sumo wrestling when I lived in Japan and remember Konishiki quite well. He was a good sumo wrestler and the fans loved him, but another Hawaiian who went by the sumo name “Akebono” who wrestled during the same era totally kicked ass. Akebono was the first non-Japanese to reach the top rank of Yokozuna. Konishiki never reach Yokozuna – he made it to the second highest rank of Ozeki. So I’m kind of curious why Dave never mentioned Akebono. guitardQuote |

| Cut2TheCrash (816) | Akebono was a great sumo wrestler but he didnt do himself any favors by trying to K-1 fight back in the early 2000s. He was not even a trained K-1 fighter and just embarrassed himself with the Bob Sapp fight, and that pretty that much ended his pro career. I remember the fight was huge as I was living in Vegas and Bob Sapp was going to fight Mike Tyson after the Akebono fight, so everyone was wanting to see how he fought. If I recall correctly, Sapp knocked him out in the first round. Don’t get me wrong, he was a great champion sumo wrestler, but he started to train way later in life instead of like the Japaneses that start as fast as they learn to walk and I believe he just got too old and developed weak knees like a lot of them do. Great call Guitard – brings back lots of Vegas memories for me. Cut2TheCrashQuote |

| guitard (7354) | Oddly enough, in Japan – going from being a champion Yokozuna sumo wrestler – to joining the equivalent of the WWF is not unusual or shameful. But in America, it would be like Tom Brady retiring from football and then going to play in the arena football league. Akebono was a badass sumo wrestler. He went for the throat (literally) almost every time. I won four tickets to see Day 15 of the Tokyo basho in 1995 or 96. It was Akebono and Takanohana in the final. I wanted to see Akebona win, but he lost that day. Those two had some epic matches:
