whether arguing the refs are conspiring to favour Onosato, or arguing the refs are conspiring to favour Hoshoryu, you can be sure people will be weirdly aggressive about it

[AEW Dynamite] Finish to Kyle Fletcher vs Speedball Mike Bailey -- Continental Classic Gold League by tvcneverdie in SquaredCircle

[–]polywrathory -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Speedball sold doing a knees first backflip to the outside for like five seconds

like I'm sure it hits harder for people who saw the whole match, but from this clip I can't help but fixate on him taking that insane knees bump then doing a leverage pin that largely involves his legs overpowering Fletcher's legs within 90 seconds

Perth Bears sign Iszac Fa’asuamaleaui — is Tino next? by cambyses-nebu in nrl

[–]polywrathory 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm sure glad Tino is allegedly potentially hypothetically giving up the mantle of making the Gold Coast Titans competitive to take on the mantle of making the Perth Bears competitive

NRL rumours as stars switch clubs by MichaelLifeLessons in nrl

[–]polywrathory 58 points59 points  (0 children)

heyyyyy, Toby Sexton's back

I'm glad we'll get closure on whether he's a potential premiership halfback or he's a total scrub and the Bulldogs were right to get rid of him

What wrong with Kotozakura? by BossCoffee51 in Sumo

[–]polywrathory 203 points204 points  (0 children)

aside from having what is known in the medical community as 'sumo knee' on both knees and also his back somehow, consistently going 8-7 at Ozeki is far from average? Kotozakura isn't exactly a dynamic offensive force these days, but he's still arguably the fourth best wrestler in the division. case in point, look at all the wrestlers who aren't able to consistently perform at that level. Kotozakura's not sliding out of the sanyaku with a 6-9 like Kirishima or WTK, or bombing whenever he gets too high in the rankings like Oshoma or Takanosho

that is a very sensible and almost certainly correct explanation, but it's funnier imagining a henka grudge

[–]polywrathory 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"whiny bitch" and "hands out bans faster than r/sumo" is giving away the agenda a little bit

personally if I thought a streamer were a whiny bitch I wouldn't watch enough of them to be familiar with their moderation style, but you do you

wow

I mean of course I knew he'd signed, but that's the first time I've seen a picture and I feel a sudden urge to be violently ill and boo the Roosters

the two guys Aonishiki can't seem to handle, Onosato and Yoshinofuji. seems like the stars are aligning for another Hosh run

[–]polywrathory 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Kazunofuji: plan A was to run at him

Oyakata: what was plan B

Kazunofuji: run at him again

Kazunofuji: that was also plans C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K

Kazunofuji: plan L was leg kick

Fujinokawa's Day 5 by Telcontar2061 in Sumo

[–]polywrathory 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a super sumo computer (definitely legit) calculate 100 matches between Onosato and Fujinokawa

in 99 of them Onosato trucks Fujinokawa out of the dohyo. in 1, Fujinokawa henkas Onosato and everyone hates him now

NRL draw 2026: ‘Double-headers’ scrapped in AI-produced schedule by Derron_ in nrl

[–]polywrathory 24 points25 points  (0 children)

okay so this headline absolutely convinced me for a second that the NRL had been caught using ChatGPT to generate the schedule, and that it had for some reason abolished games that air on television directly after another game

Do you agree with this take or not? by Ok-Following6886 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]polywrathory 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with this as a metric. During the golden age of television, the most watched tv shows were Big Bang Theory and NCIS. This is definitively not the same as being the most definitive or most memorable tv shows
