Hiroshi Yukio is a giant of a man
He always has been. This has made him stand out from the others and this is how he was chosen at a very young age to be a grand sumo champion.
He is sitting in his hotel room at the Hyatt Regency in Greenville.
It's a plush comfortable room nicely furnished and certainly suitable accommodation. It is after all a 5 star hotel and that is exactly how he likes it.
He sits on the edge of his bed his thoughts wandering.
A flashback is shown as a young Hiroshi is seen training in the ways of sumo. A short wrinkled old man stands over him guiding and instructing him.
Again Hiroshi!
The boy looks up and the old man is staring directly at him.
Again!
Hiroshi repeats the technique but this time correctly and then looks up at the old man . His look softens and he smiles.
Yes good boy that is the correct way. You are a good learner and some day I truly believe you will be champion
He had battled for years to get to the top of the sumo profession and once there he earned international praise for his competitive ability.

A older and bulked up Hiroshi can be seen in the middle of a bout his opponent an equally large and powerful man stares a hole through him and Hiroshi returns the glare showing no intimidation at all
The referee signals both men to start and his opponent charges straight in without hesitation.
Seeing this Hiroshi quickly gets into position and as his opponent nears he grabs the opponent's mawashi and lifts his body off the surface, pulling them into the air past and throwing him down using a technique called a
Tsukaminage or lifting throw sending him crashing to the floor.
Seeing this he is awarded the decision and the match to the cheers of the crowd.
But towards the end of his career after he became a Yokozuna the highest ranking sumo something about it was different.
The competition was just not challenging him anymore. He tried to fill the void by continuing his charity work something he loved doing but even that wasn't enough.
This is boring! I need something to break this dull life. He sighed sinking into a high back leather chair which sits in front of a solid mahogany desk at his room in the sumo stable.
The desk is adorned with writing instruments and a laptop computer which is plugged in and turned on the screen glowing.
Where in the world am I going to find what I am looking for?
It has to be out there somewhere...
Hiroshi sama! A short man in a pinstripe suit with glasses calls out to him and he turns.
Hiroshi sama I have the answer!
Have you ever thought about wrestling?
Wrestling? A confused look crosses his face.
Yes! I have found a place that I think would suit you well. There is a catch..
Which is?
It's in America. The agent replies.
Good! Let's go then! Have someone pack my bags and book me a flight to America first class! I want to see what the USA has to offer me!
A big smile lights up his fave as he stands and lets out a big belly laugh.
Yes this is what I need!
The Hyatt Regency, Greenville,SC Present Day.
That was how it started and now here I am. Living the dream. Working as a wrestler in America. Life is good!
I love hearing the fans cheer and the rush of being in the ring. It gets my blood pumping and gives me a rush.
And so this week... Due to some reason my partner Kincaid is now no longer on the card as I have been informed that he has been replaced by that unpredictable and out of control wrestler known as The Lunatic.
That should make things interesting. I'm not sure how it will go but I know that he and I will need to work together to defeat Ms Black and Mr Smith. They are a formidable team but I am a formidable opponent. So to them I say bring it on and show me what fighting spirit you posses!
