Takeshi Rikio Meets With Akebono

Takeshi Rikio stated today that he met up with his old friend from sumo days Akebono recently and Akebono really motivated him and he felt his power, which he hopes to use on Sunday at Korakuen Hall to win the GHC Tag Titles with Jun Akiyama from Takeshi Morishima & Mohammed Yone. Rikio said that he has been in a training camp this week in the snowy mountains of Nagano and that with Akebono’s power, it would be terrible if he didn’t achieve the results that he wants.
