Folks, there was a REASON why Reverend Slick would tell Kamala to turn his opponent's body over after splashing his back in 1993.And there within lies the problem. The characters in Simpsons Wrestling fall down one way on their stomach! Why the characters count normally instead of giving themselves the ol' fast-count is beyond me. You can't turn them on their back, so despite the fact that your opponent is laying face down, you can still cover for the pin. Simpsons wrestling psx iso.

Ryūichi Yamamoto (山本 龍一, Yamamoto Ryūichi, born May 8, 1984), known by his shikonaYamamotoyama Ryūta (山本山 龍太), or simply Yama,[1] is a Japanese retired sumo wrestler from the city of Saitama in Saitama Prefecture. He made his professional debut in January 2007, and reached the top makuuchi division in January 2009. His highest rank was maegashira 9. At 265 kg (584 lb), Yamamotoyama is the heaviest Japanese-born sumo wrestler in history,[2] and is also thought to be the heaviest Japanese person ever.[1] In April 2011, he was told to retire by the Japan Sumo Association after he and several other wrestlers were found to be involved in match-fixing. He now lives in Los Angeles and participates in sumo exhibitions and amateur tournaments, often alongside Ulambayaryn Byambajav.

Career[edit]
Yamamotoyama won several local, national and world sumo championships before entering Nihon University in 2003. He won a total of five championships at Nihon University. He then entered professional sumo as a member of the Onoe stable. He broke the record for the largest new recruit, weighing in at 233 kg in 2007. The previous record holder, Hokutomori, weighed in at 205 kg when he joined professional sumo in 1994. His shikona or fighting name was created simply by adding the suffix yama (meaning 'mountain') to his own surname. This is common for lower ranked wrestlers but it was rather unusual him to keep it even after reaching sekitori status. Yamamotoyama however, shares his name with a well-known producer of Japanese seaweed and tea, with whom he was reportedly keen to secure a sponsorship deal.[3]

Sumo Wrestling Training
Yamamotoyama rose quickly through the ranks, recording only one make-koshi before reaching the second division of jūryō at the 2008 September tournament. Upon his promotion he posed for photographers with two bags of rice and told reporters that he was aiming for 241 kg in weight, to break the record for a Japanese rikishi then held by Susanoumi. Only two wrestlers have weighed more than him: Hawaiian born Konishiki at 285 kg (628 lb), and Russian sandanme rikishi Orora at 288 kg (635 lb). Yamamotoyama once reportedly ate 146 pieces of sushi in a single meal.[4]
After posting nine wins in consecutive jūryō tournaments, he was promoted to the top makuuchi division for the 2009 January tournament. The twelve tournaments it took him to enter the top division ties him with Tochiazuma, among others, in a group of the second fastest wrestlers to reach this level. He came through with a kachi-koshi winning record of 8-7 in his debut makuuchi tournament, and followed up with another 8-7 in March 2009. He failed to get his kachi-koshi on the final day of the May 2009 tournament, for only the second time in his career.
He suffered a muscle pull in his ribcage during the July 2009 tournament after falling to the floor of the dohyo twice in two bouts against Wakakoyu on Day 9 and had to withdraw for the first time in his career. He fell to the jūryō division for the September tournament as a result. He scored 9-6 there, enough for an immediate makuuchi return. However he entered the Kyushu basho in November 2009 in poor condition, having injured his right elbow whilst on tour in October, and he eventually withdrew from the tournament with only two wins, after being diagnosed with influenza. Remaining in the jūryō division, he suffered knee ligament damage on the 11th day of the July 2010 tournament and was forced to withdraw. Still troubled by the injury, he pulled out on the first day of the September tournament, and as a result was demoted to the makushita division. Following his loss of sekitori status, he resumed menial duties at Onoe stable, becoming the head chanko chef. Due to his injury he was unable to do any keiko (training) except walking. After fighting only one bout from the rank of Makushita 13, he withdrew from the November tournament as well. His continuing absence saw him drop to the fourth sandanme division for the (cancelled) March 2011 basho.
Retirement[edit]
In April 2011, along with 18 other wrestlers, he was ordered to retire by the Japan Sumo Association (JSA) after an investigation into allegations of bout-rigging prompted by the discovery of text messages on the mobile phone of fellow juryo wrestler Kasuganishiki, which mentioned Yamamotoyama's involvement in throwing matches. He responded angrily to the decision, saying 'The JSA made up its mind from the start that I cheated without listening to me.'[5] However, on April 5 he visited the Ryōgoku Kokugikan to hand in his retirement papers, alongside stablemates Sakaizawa and Shirononami who were also found guilty.[6] He had a retirement ceremony at the Tokyo Prince Hotel in September 2011, alongside Sakaizawa.
Post-retirement activities[edit]

In 2012 he appeared in Season 5 of India's biggest reality show Bigg Boss. Before entering he told reporters that he had already seen the 4th season and he that he loved both the show and Indian culture, despite not knowing Hindi or English.[7] He was given special placards with pictoral representations that helped him to communicate his needs to the housemates. To ensure that Yamamotoyama remains entertained, special activities had been planned during his stay in the house that helped audiences to get some special insights into the life of a professional Japanese sumo wrestler.[8] He entered the house on day 91, as a guest, and bid a farewell after a day of stay there. In their last week Yamamotoyama would teach origami to Bigg Boss 5 inmates.[9]
In 2013 Yamamotoyama participated in a multi-city 'Sumo + Sushi' show tour in the United States, co-sponsored by Living Social and USA Sumo.[10] Attendees were shown sumo training exercises and then actual (albeit somewhat restrained) bouts between Yamamotoyama and other sumo stars such as Ulambayaryn Byambajav and Kelly Gneiting. In May 2015, he appeared on the American television program The Bachelorette along with Ulambayaryn Byambajav,[11] and in 2017 starred in the music video for the song 'Shape of You' by English artist Ed Sheeran.[12] Also in 2017 he was featured in the Hollywood motion pictureJohn Wick 2 with Keanu Reeves.[13]
Fighting style[edit]
Yamamotoyama's most common winning kimarite or technique was yori-kiri, the force out, and he preferred a migi-yotsu, or left hand outside, right hand inside grip on his opponent's mawashi. He also regularly won by oshi-dashi, the push out, and uwatenage, the overarm throw.

List of The Simpsons episodes |
'Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo' is the twenty-third episode and season finale of The Simpsons'tenth season. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on May 16, 1999. In the episode, after being robbed by Snake Jailbird, the Simpsons visit a money-saving seminar, where they learn ways to limit their expenses. Soon, the family can afford a cheap last-minute flight to another country, the only disadvantage being that they do not know where their plane tickets will bring them, which leads them to spend their vacation in Japan.
The episode was written by Donick Cary and Dan Greaney, while Jim Reardon served as director. It was one of the last episodes written in its production line, and its title is a reference to the war film 30 Seconds Over Tokyo. Several guest-stars appeared in the episode, including George Takei as the host for The Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show. This episode mocks aspects of the Japanese, including the cruelty of Japanese game shows.
The episode was seen by approximately 8 million viewers in its original broadcast. In 2005, the episode was first released on home video, and in 2007, it was released as part of the tenth season DVD box set.
Following the tenth season's home video release, 'Thirty Minutes over Tokyo' received mixed reviews from critics. Because of a scene in which the Emperor of Japan is thrown into a trunk filled with sumo thongs, the episode has never aired in Japan, as the scene was considered disrespectful.
Plot[edit]
While visiting an Internet café with Bart and Lisa, Homer gets cyber-robbed by an illegal download done by Snake of his bank's entire savings account, which the family planned to use for their own family vacation. When Ned Flanders catches Homer and Marge burgling his house, he says he got more for less by attending the Chuck Garabedian Mega-Savings Seminar. Homer steals Ned's tickets and the Simpsons attend the seminar, in which Chuck explains many money-saving strategies. The Simpsons follow them and save enough for a Garabedian-sponsored vacation. Bart and Lisa, with help from Maggie, steal airplane tickets from the Flanders at the airport and go to Tokyo, Japan.
Homer and Bart separate from Marge, who wants to go back to the hotel, and Lisa, who wants to do something Japanese, to go attend a sumo match. When a wrestler steals Homer's pretzel, he and Bart subdue him, then when the Emperor of Japan, Akihito, congratulates Homer, he behaves like King Kong, throwing him into a dumpster of worn mawashi. As a result, he and Bart are put in jail until Marge pays the bail. Consequently, the only money the family has left is a one-million yen bill, which Lisa loses in the wind after Homer created an origamicrane from it.
The family finds work in a fish-gutting factory in Osaka, where they notice a TV game show called The Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show. They go on it, telling the host Wink that they wish for plane tickets to Springfield. In order to get them, they must go through physical torture, including picking them up from a rickety bridge over an active volcano (particularly Homer). Lisa's help is congratulated as she is able to get the tickets, but Wink breaks the bridge and the whole family falls into the volcano, which is actually scrummy Orangeade with lots of wasabi added. As the Simpsons leave Japan, their plane is briefly confronted by four giant monsters – Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera and Rodan before it flies off on the journey to Springfield.
Production[edit]
George Takei, one of The Simpsons staff's 'favorite guest-stars', portrayed Wink, the game show host in the episode.
The episode, which was originally titled 'Fat Man and Little Boy' (which went on to be used for the name of a Season 16 episode),[1] was directed by Jim Reardon and written by Donick Cary and Dan Greaney. It was first broadcast on the Fox network in the United States on May 16, 1999.[2] 'Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo' was one of the last episodes produced for the series' tenth season. Staff writers Cary and Greaney wrote the draft in a couple of days, and it was then rewritten 'extensively' with The Simpsons' writing staff. Originally, there would be a long scene about how Homer had bought a 'pre-Columbian vase' on the Internet, however the scene was ultimately cut from the episode. The episode's title is a reference to the 1944 war film 30 Seconds Over Tokyo. Originally, the staff wanted the title to be 'Twenty-two Minutes Over Tokyo', since an episode of The Simpsons is approximately twenty-two minutes long, but they eventually changed it to its current rendition because it “sounds closer to” the title of the film it references. According to Cary, the writers did a lot of research in order to accurately depict the Japanese language for the episode. For example, the three categories in The Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show are written in Japanese.[3]
In the scene at the seminar, a character closely resembling the mascot of Hasbro's Monopoly can be seen sitting next to Mr. Burns. Because the design is slightly different from the real-life mascot, the Simpsons staff did not have to pay Hasbro for using their character in the episode.[4] The design of Homer in a Jamaican attire was very popular among the staff, and Mike Scully, the showrunner for the episode, called the design 'great'.[2] A scene in the episode shows Homer buying a squarewatermelon, which turns out to be round and slips out of his hands. In the background, cars are driving on the left side of the street. Originally, the animators had drawn the cars driving on the right side. However, Tomi Yamaguchi, a Simpsons layout artist at the time, pointed out that cars in fact drive on the left side of the street in Japan. Because of this, the animators had to redraw the whole scene, and Yamaguchi received a technical advisor credit for the episode.[4] The speech that Homer gives to the audience in The Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show was originally much longer, and would partially involve kitchenettes from Broyhill.[2] The design of the male Canadian in the game show was based on Canadian Simpsons director Neil Affleck.[4]
The anime version of The Simpsons' theme song that plays at the end of the episode was conceived by composer Alf Clausen. Chuck Garabedian, the speaker at the seminar, was portrayed by series regular voice actor Hank Azaria, who plays Moe Szyslak among other characters. The Japanese waiter in Americatown was played by American actor Gedde Watanabe. Wink, the host for The Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show, was portrayed by George Takei. Takei has appeared on The Simpsons several times before, and he is, according to Scully, one of the staff's favorite guest-stars.[2] The episode also features the voices of Tress MacNeille, Denice Kumagai as Japanese mother, Karen Maruyama as Japanese stewardess, Keone Young as the sumo wrestler, and Karl Wiedergott as both Mr. Monopoly and Woody Allen.[5]
Themes and cultural references[edit]
In his book Gilligan Unbound, American literary critic Paul Cantor described how 'Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo' references and mocks several aspects of Japanese and American culture, as well as differences between the two. At a sumo wrestling match, Bart and Homer encounter the then current Japanese emperor, Akihito. After Homer throws him into a trunk of sumo thongs, Bart and Homer are put in jail, where they have to re-enact a kabuki play about the forty-seven Ronin, do origami, flower arranging and meditation. After Marge bails them out, Bart and Homer can speak fluent Japanese, and have fully absorbed, as Cantor writes, the 'exclusionary' character of the Japanese culture, as Homer asks Bart (in Japanese, with English subtitles): 'Should we tell them [Marge and Lisa] the secret to inner peace?', to which Bart replies (still in Japanese), 'No, they are foreign devils.' The episode also references the Japanese's adaption to American culture, and is, according to Cantor, 'filled' with signs of how eagerly Japanese have taken to American culture. In one scene, the Simpsons eat at a restaurant called Americatown, filled with US memorabilia and having only American items on the menu. Another scene shows director Woody Allen filming a commercial for Japanese television.[6]
The episode lampoons several aspects of Japanese culture. This image depicts the graves of the forty-seven Ronin, of whom Bart and Homer participate in a kabuki play.
In order to get back to the United States, the Simpsons have to enter a humiliating game show called The Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show. According to Cantor, this is where the family find a difference between Japanese and American culture, as Wink, the game-show host, explains to them: 'Our game shows are a little different from yours. Your shows reward knowledge. We punish ignorance.'[7] The game show is partly based on the Japanese show Za Gaman, as well as the British show Family Fortunes.[citation needed] As with many other episodes in the series, 'Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo' suggests that, in the end, the Simpsons are more attached to the local than to the global, and, as Cantor writes: 'indeed the global is ultimately important in the series only insofar as it can be made local, that is, part of Springfield. For all its cosmopolitanism, the show keeps returning to the American theme of 'there's no place like home'.[7]
The computers seen in the internet cafe that the Simpsons visit in the beginning of the episode are based on the AppleiMac computers. In a scene inside Flanders' kitchen, a note which reads '1 COR 6:9-11' can be seen. This refers to the Bible, First Corinthian, chapter 6, verses 9 to 11: 'Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.'[8] The cups in the 33 cent store read That '70s Show, a reference which Danny Masterson, one of the lead actors in That '70s Show, was entertained by, according to Scully.[2]Battling Seizure Robots, the seizure-inducing television show that the Simpsons watch in their hotel room, is based on an episode of Pokémon, called 'Dennō Senshi Porygon', which caused 685 children to develop epileptic seizures. According to Scully, the staff received 'several angry letters' from people for the scene.[2] After the cartoon, an advertisement for Mr. Sparkle, a character that first appeared in the season 8 episode 'In Marge We Trust', can be seen on the television screen. Barney, while impersonating Homer, says 'That boy ain't right', a line frequently used by Hank Hill, the main character of the animated television series King of the Hill.[2] The giant monsters attacking at the end of the episode are Godzilla, Gamera, Rodan and Mothra, all of which are famous from Japanese monster movies.[9] The scene was included as a reference to the 1998 action science fiction film Godzilla, in which three of the main The Simpsons cast members (Azaria, Cartwright and Shearer) had a live-action role.[3]
The Simpsons Wrestling is really nothing like a traditional wrestling match other than the 3-count pin to finish the round. Like other aspects of The Simpsons, this game is totally wacky and promises to be a lot of fun for fans of TV show.
The Simpsons Wrestling is a fighting video game based on the animated television series The Simpsons and is based on the professional wrestling genre. The game was made for the PlayStation console, was developed by Big Ape Productions, published by Electronic Arts in Europe and Activision in North America and distributed by Fox Interactive. It was released in Europe on March 23, 2001, and in.
Release and reception[edit]
In its original American broadcast on May 16, 1999, 'Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo' received an 8.0 rating, according to Nielsen Media Research, translating to approximately 8 million viewers.[10] On May 23, 2005, the episode was released along with the season 12 episode 'Simpson Safari', the season 13 episode 'Blame It on Lisa' and the season 15 episode 'The Regina Monologues', as part of a DVD set called The Simpsons – Around The World In 80 D'Oh's.[11] On August 7, 2007, the episode was again released as part of The Simpsons – The Complete Tenth Season DVD box set.[12] Matt Groening, Mike Scully, Donick Cary, George Meyer, Ron Hauge, Matt Selman and Jim Reardon participated in the DVD's audio commentary of the episode.[13]
The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, gave the episode a positive review, and wrote that it was 'A magnificent end to the season.' They wrote that the episode was 'thoroughly racist' but 'completely inoffensive because it's simply very funny.'[9] Jake MacNeill of Digital Entertainment News was also favourable, considering it to be one of the better episodes of the season.[14] James Plath of DVD Town wrote that the episode has 'some funny moments.'[15] Aaron Roxby of Collider was more critical, denouncing the episode's dated references. He wrote: 'I am going to go ahead and give this one the benefit of the doubt and assume that making fun of Japanese junk culture and game shows felt fresher in 1999 than it does do now.'[16] Colin Jacobson of DVD Movie Guide called the episode 'mediocre'. He wrote that, though the episode's concept should 'open up lots of interesting possibilities', it 'doesn't explore them particularly well'. While he did not consider it to be a bad episode, he thought it 'fail[ed] to live up to its potential'.[12]
In Japan[edit]
'Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo' is one of two episodes that never aired in Japan (the other being season 11 episode 'Little Big Mom').[citation needed] The reasoning behind this was that a scene in the episode, which shows Homer throwing Akihito, the then current emperor of Japan, into a box filled with sumo thongs, was considered disrespectful.[8] There was also a rumor that Sanrio objected to the portrayal of the Hello Kitty factory featured briefly in the episode. The episode has become study material for sociology courses at University of California Berkeley, where it is used to 'examine issues of the production and reception of cultural objects, in this case, a satirical cartoon show', and to figure out what it is 'trying to tell audiences about aspects primarily of American society, and, to a lesser extent, about other societies'.[17]
