That being said, before Rikishi became the WWEs resident sumo Superstar, we had the even more colossal Yokozuna tearing through the company. His exact weight fluctuated throughout his career. Debuting at 505 pounds, he actually peaked at a whopping 641 pounds four years later. One thing that remained constant though was the precision and effectiveness of his Superkick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri7-TjVd7og The previously-made points about Rikishis weight distribution apply to Yokozuna as wellin fact even more so given that he had more weight to distribute. A man with that kind of girth on his abdomen and thighs shouldnt be able to kick another man in the jaw, and yet Yokozuna managed to do exactly that on a regular basis. Sure, the technique may not have quite been picture-perfect, but for him to be able to kick all 6 foot of Bret the Hitman Hart is an admirable achievement to say the least. As JR so precisely put it, this one was all about the phenomenal flexibility of one of the WWEs biggest ever starsliterally.
