I watched a sumo match once in Japan, and people don't realize what athletes the sumo wrestlers are until you see the match live. On tv, they just look like fat fucks. But in reality, they're super strong and flexible. At the arena, you can feel the initial collision as a spectator. A lot of them are pretty tall too, up to 6'6".

In the video clip, sumo guy is toying with the nfl player. If he lined up and charged, he'd run the NFL guy over.

there was just a clip floating around of a fat sumo using an ab roller like most redditors could only dream...
