There is nothing healthy about being morbidly obsese, which is what is physically takes to be a sumo wrestler.
It's just another sick version of what passes for entertainment amongst the bored and perverse. If these folks are happy, it's for the paycheck and prestige, if you can call the freak show that is sumo wrestling "prestigious".
You have to practise regular gluttony to be a sumo wrestler. That may make some (temporarily) happy, but it's never healthy to be morbidly obsese. And their life expectanvy is far shorter than that of the average japanese male.
