Foreigners are bound to do better, they are bigger built and make the bouts look more convincing.

Knews- I Know that the Japanese officials are trying to rid the sport of foreigners because they are jealous of their success.

knew- And it was on Channel 4 in England until they stopped it because everyone realised it was fixed and not a real sport.

Nobody outside of Japan believes in the joke sport anyway. The foreigners were brought in to attract Tv viewers from abroad, but it failed.
It is so obvious all fake, it is so funny! Tee! Hee!

If Giant Haystacks was still around he would beat everyone hands down.
Too few Japanese are interested in this bleeding silly "sport" cos they is too lazy nowaday, know what i mean?

There still some real sumo in there. At least they're not wearing masks and hitting each other with folding chairs. But certain outcomes, such as a certain improbable tournament win earlier this year, and y'all know what I'm talking about.. yeah, that one couldn't have been more obvious.
