Bikini-clad bottom battlers

With sumo’s popularity gradually waning, now is perhaps the perfect time to think about introducing a new, more attractive national sport to the Japanese masses — like bikini bottom wrestling for example.

An activity that cleverly continues sumo’s blink-and-you’ve-missed-it bouts and a distinct lack of clothing, yet at the same time is far more appealing and perky.

Although with its fast-paced action, the regular use of replays to accurately judge the winner would probably be necessary, with slow motion and pause facilities a must.
