I guess the Kyokai did not study their physics books.  One of the
fundamental laws of physics is:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction...

Wakanoho appears to be applying this law to the Kyokai.

He doesn't have an extensive top division record, so perhaps we can
predict which Makunouchi rikishi he may target by reviewing his
losses.  Rikishi that Wakanoho lost to most often are (interesting
that most are foreign, and won't that spice things up!):

Of course, Asashoryu, a convenient target...
Ironically, Kotomitsuki?
Hakuho?
Asasekiryu?
Kyokutenho?
Roho?
Wakakirin?

Or, is this not the list, and instead we should be looking at
rikishi that Wakanoho both defeated and lost to, implying that he
may have thrown matches against those he could defeat?
