Love that they had to call Akebono a "Grand Champion" instead of properly "a Yokozuna" because they would confuse american fans with the actual wrestler.... Yokozuna. Similarly that they are sumo wrestlers and not..... Rikishi

I’m almost positive WWE wanted to bring Akebono in and that’s the only reason this ever happened, but it just didn’t work out bc he didn’t pass their physical so he went into wrestling back in Japan. He needed money after his restaurant went out of business, and he had already lost a few KICKBOXING matches by this point too for a quick buck.
