Solely "what have you done for me lately"?
>I also think 12-3 yusho would (and should) be enough... Musashimaru's double 13-2 in times of absents was hardly better than Wakanohana's 14-1+12-3 in times of absents.
Just raising a question here. Let's assume for the moment that Asashoryu loses the next two days and goes 12-3 but wins the yusho, making him a borderline candidate for promotion. For these kind of cases, should yokozuna promotion be based solely on a "what have you done for me lately" criteria? After all, the two-yusho criteria is intended to be a guideline and not written in blood. When Musashimaru and Wakanohana won their double yushos, it was the 5th yusho for both of them. This would only be Asashoryu's 2nd.
Would the Kyokai consider career history in deciding promotion for these types of borderline cases? Should they?
