Fat Guys in Diapers Fighting: Sumo Wrestling Trivia
About This Quiz
I've never been to Japan. I have had interest in specifically going to Tokyo, but it's so far away I haven't managed to get there yet. Even if I do ever get to Japan, I can honestly tell you that I would not be attending any sumo wrestling matches. I've watched some videos of the sport, and frankly, I'll just stick to football, baseball, and other more North American sports. However, when researching this quiz, I did learn a number of very interesting and surprising facts about sumo wrestlers. I hope you'll be as interested as I was.
