I found this ball in my garage. It was my dads. Still looks great and thinking about testing it out.

I never knew about sumo wrestlers until I saw this bowling ball advertisement on Bowling Digest. But of course, I saw the commerical and after seeing this stunt, I informed I would never do that, even if I wanted to when I got so frustrated with my game.

LMFAO I was 4 years old when this commercial came out but for some odd reason I remember it. Maybe it's the image of a very large Asian man in an oversized thong hurling himself down a bowling lane that's a lil hard to forget. And yes, I know the big Asian guy is supposed to be a sumo wrestler, but it's funnier to think of him as a fat guy in a huge thong.
