Is America prepared for a cartoon about fat Japanese wrestlers?

<snip>

Here's the premise -- three half-ton teenage Sumo wrestlers, presumably
human instead of turtles or some other cute animal, fight evil and espouse
their PHAT philosophy -- Peace, Honor, and Truth. Presumably, the wrestlers
will not strip down to traditional dress to deter crime, but with anime
sensibilities trickling down to the US mainstream, who knows?

<snip>

I wasn't able to find out too much more about, but I didn't try much harder
either.

ESPN2 will be airing "Sumo Wrestling Basho, Episode #02004" on October 18,
8pm EDT.  It's a full hour, so I'm guessing it's the Nagoya Basho highlight
show.

Also on the Nickelodeon listing is something titled "Super Duper Sumo
Wrestlers" airing Oct 13 at 4:30pm EDT. I don't know what this show is, but,
since it's on Nick, I'm guess a cartoon with a bunch of fat jokes. Has
anybody seen this one?
