Ha! Apparently he's coming back to Japan tomorrow (the 24th). Can't wait to see the melee at the airport.
He won't want to screw up too badly because he has his retirement sumo match in October (at least I think it's October), and that event alone will earn him a serious pile of shekels.
Interesting.

What melee? Did he ever cause one? All he ever does is ignore the reporters asking questions.

I thought there would be one this time, considering where he's been, but there wasn't. Booooring!:zzz:

Somehow I don't think that Asa can fall quite as far as another former yokozuna...
OK, I'll admit the photo book cover is probably Photoshopped... (I can't take the credit though)

USATODAY.com | July 21, 2010
Retired sumo star Asashoryu might be serious about mixed martial arts, after all.
An official with World Victory Road says Asashoryu has started an MMA team for athletes from his native country of Mongolia, according to the Nightmare of Battle. World Victory Road runs Sengoku Raiden Championships, one of Japan's two leading MMA brands along with K-1's Dream organization...
...Sumo athletes generally have not done well in MMA competition, but none as talented or accomplished as Asashoryu, who was just the third non-Japanese in sumo's long history to become a yokozuna, the sport's highest rank.
