My Take
Honestly, Yukio Naya's story hooks me: the eldest son of sekiwake Takatōriki and a grandson of the great yokozuna Taihō, with three brothers in sumo, and he chose the pro wrestling ring instead. At 201 cm he fills that ring with DDT, and there is something quietly bold about taking the family's size and discipline somewhere new. I genuinely want to see where he takes it next.
