I would say that Musashimaru is more like AT&T stock historically speaking. Solid, steady, a mostly reliable sort. You do have a good point there about his two losses to wrestlers who normally are not supposed to have any decent chance of beating him, but I would say that the only "real" loss was to Kyokushuzan (the Mongolian rikishi), with the other loss being the result of a mata (timeout) not being called because of a poor tachi-ai. One can say that Musashimaru should have gone full blast for the win anyway and not have waited for the call, but even the greats make mistakes like this, with memories of John McEnroe not playing crucial points still in my mind because he thought the ball would be called out. I think they took that firmly into consideration, as well as his impressive comeback performance after those two losses. In July, hopefully Akebono will finally get his tenth yusho (tournament victory), so he can fully be appreciated as a great yokozuna in Japan. Kaio looks like the next ozeki to me, unless he gets injured or gets sick. Yogizuna
