The Shortest Book Ever Written: Famous Skinny Czech Sumo Wrestlers

The Shortest Book Ever Written: Famous Skinny Czech Sumo Wrestlers


It’s right up there with Famous Indigent Yachtsmen, and The Big Book Of Busty Blondes That Buy Their Own Drinks.

Born Pavel Bojar, he’s now calling himself  Takanoyama Shuntarō, and he’s really only skinny for a regular ol’ sumo wrestler. He weighs 216 pounds. Takanoyama means “noble mountain” in Japanese, but he seems more of a molehill compared to the other guys.

I do not see how anyone could possibly not root for the guy in every match. He’s David to every Goliath. But after watching his method for taking on these lumbering beasts, I got to thinking: wouldn’t every offensive guard in the NFL be able to wipe the floor with any of these guys?  Except Takanoyama, of course; he’s shifty. Shifty always wins. Just ask your boss.
