298: Sewanin and Wakaimonogashira Do What?

When Mr. Sumo himself (Chiyomaru) retired, he became a wakaimonogashira, and we were stumped. What the heck does that mean??

This week, we jumped into the internet to discover what it means to be a wakaimonogashira or a sewanin - 2 roles that a retired wrestler can take within the JSA. Along the way, we discovered new terms like 'shisho,' and we learned that, sometimes, there is not much detail to be found. We're not frustrated by that at all. No. Not at all.
