Real vs. Scripted -- Sumo Style

I've blogged some in the past about obvious differences between real and "scripted" (or to be less kind, fake) apartment and mat wrestling matches. I thought it would be interesting to apply this analysis to photos from entirely different culture and type of match -- Japanese Sumo Wrestling.

In the above photo, we have two very attractive women who are not physically built for sumo and have very stylish haircuts while their makeup has been expertly applied. Instead of crashing into each other as is the norm in a true sumo match, the two ladies attack each other's naughty bits for our viewing pleasure.
This next photo is basically an homage to the standard breast attack featured in Japanese catfighting. One lady grips the other's breast, careful to let the nipple poke out between her spread fingers, and the attacker watches the other's reaction. Again, the ladies' bodies are obviously better suited for virtually anything other than sumo and their loincloths are perfectly fitted (or to be more accurate, misfitted) so to expose just a hint of their fine pubic hair.
At least in this photo one could argue that the mutual breast pushes are designed to push the opponent backwards. But since they are wrestling in a ring, how does one know when a lady has been pushed out of the circle -- is it when her back touches the ring ropes?
And now we're onto the real stuff. Immediately, one sees that the ladies would shop at the "plus size" department, at least in Japan. They are obviously not models, but instead are everyday women who have agreed to go at it topless for some extra Yen. While the lady on right does appear to go for a defensive breast push, it is interesting to note that her opponent attempts a much more solid press right into the upper chest.
Going breast to breast, these big ladies are trying to push one another around. And below, we see that the women are starting in a traditional position, on a simple mat that has the tradtional sumo circle.
