This essay delves into the symbolic significance of the ranks of Ōzeki and Yokozuna in sumo, interpreting them as archetypes of human growth, transformation, and transcendence. Through a philological analysis of the kanji characters for these ranks, the essay explores the Ōzeki as the liminal warrior standing at the threshold of potential, and the Yokozuna as the embodiment of perfected unity, strength, and wisdom. Drawing connections to the modern human experience, it presents sumo as not only a sport but also a profound metaphor for personal and spiritual development. The essay reflects on the universal journey of initiation, struggle, and achievement, showing how sumo's path mirrors the warrior's journey in both the physical and spiritual realms.

Back in 1999 the wrestling business was booming big time and in an attempt to cash in on the success being enjoyed by WWE, WCW and ECW, a new promotion formed that would feature the wrestling stars of yesteryear, and put them on pay-per-view.
