An Ozeki Match

I forget who these wrestlers were, but they were near the end of the day so they were probably Ozeki's, the rank just below the Yokuzuna (grand champion), Asushoru. The idea is to force your opponent to touch the ground inside the ring with anything other than his feet, or force him outside the ring. This is a medium-length match - some are much faster!
