Check out Shishi's bout on day 13. At this point Shishi was at the absolute bottom of Makuuchi, nobody was even tied with him. I think he's struggling with an injury. Last tourney they didn't let him do his bouncy pre-match prep. Nobody cheers for him when he lines up. Things were not going his way. In this match he-- well I'm not sure how to describe it. He maneuvers, he pushes, he recovers from a hopeless-looking position, he takes out a couple audience members... It's actually really fun to watch. That's why I'm cheering for ya, ya big galoot! I know ya got it inya!
