Don Frye and his moustache being awesome aside, it's unfortunate that sumo wrestlers haven't capitalized their skills outside their sport. I've seen a few sumo matches on TV and it's actually very entertaining and the wrestlers being big and all show a fair amount of speed and agility, particularly the smaller ones
