      For what little my opinion is on this, I think that Taka is doing more
to hurt Sumo than Chad did.  At least when he started acting stupid (or
whatever you want t call his K-1 career) he wasn't pretending to still
be a Yokozuna or Oyakata.

Sure he's still pretending to be a yokozuna. He's got "65" and figures of a yokozuna on his ring attire (and I think tattooed someone on him as well). He parlayed his fame into a Wrestlemania "sumo" match. He certainly isn't letting anyone forget his past as he continues to cash in on it.

He's definitely using his fame as a Yokozuna to ca$h in, there's no argument there. But he is not in the Sumo world and thus his actions are a little less disgraceful. Not by much, just a little.
