The 1991 retirement of sumo legend David Jones, who retired after 30 years of presenting a PanAm Airlines trophy to yusho winners. He was noted for his extremely poor command of Japanese, which he reprised at 10:07 here for his final performance. His pronunciation of "Hyoushoujou" became a meme.
In the interview segment, he talks about how, once, he failed to write down the name of the winning wrestler, and had to lean over to him to ask him his name (Wajima) before finishing the trophy declaration. Wajima's eyes bugged out when he realized what he was being asked, Jones recalls.
There is also footage of him being lifted by Takamiyama at a party in Jones' honor.
