Disgraced former top-division wrestler Osunaarashi appeared on a late-night variety show this week. Head freshly shaven, the big Egyptian hammed it up, participating in sumo bouts with veteran TV personality Bobby Ologun and erstwhile UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett.
The appearance, coming barely three weeks after his forced retirement from the Sumo Association, raised eyebrows, with even the show's host asking if it was OK for him to be on TV.
Generally speaking, entertainers or sports stars that have fallen from grace take a period out of the public eye before attempting to rehabilitate their image. Comebacks too, normally start with something low key and suitably contrite.
