what technique will a wrestler use

Yokozuna (横綱 yokozuna) is the highest rank in sumo wrestling. The name comes from the most visible symbol of their rank, the wide (yoko) rope (tsuna) worn around the waist. The rope bears a marked similarity to the Shinto shimenawa rope often attached to torii temple gates and sacred trees, and like them serves to purify and mark off its content. The rope, which may weigh up to 20 kilograms, is not used during the matches themselves, but is worn during the yokozuna's dohyo-iri ring entrance ceremony.
History
The birth of the rank of yokozuna is unclear, and there are two competing legends. According to one, a 9th-century wrestler named Hajikami tied a shimenawa around his waist as a handicap and dared any to touch it, creating sumo as we know it in the process. According to the other, legendary wrestler Akashi Shiganosuke tied the shimenawa around his waist in 1630 as a sign of respect when visiting the Emperor, and was posthumously awarded the title for the first time.

There is little supporting evidence for either theory — in fact, it is not even certain that Akashi was a historical figure — but it is known that by 1789, yokozuna starting from Tanikaze Kajinosuke were depicted in ukiyo-e prints as wearing the shimenawa.
Prior to the Meiji Era, the title Yokozuna was conferred on Ozeki (currently the second highest rank) who performed sumo in front of the Shogun. This privilege was more often determined by a wrestler's patron having sufficient influence rather than purely on the ability and dignity of the wrestler. Thus there are a number of early wrestlers who were, by modern standards, Yokozuna in name only. Furthermore the right to award a wrestler a yokozuna licence was a hereditary privilege of one family. In these early days Yokozuna was also not regarded as a separate rank in the listings, but as an Ozeki with special dispensation to perform his own ring entering ceremony.

Are you talking about the current yokozuna Asashoryu he just went 14-1 in the last tournament he's pretty strong and tv wrestlers are just actors, sure some of them have real experience but if they had to fight sumo they would get messed up bad.

Yes they can but it would be extremely dangerous and difficult. If I was to use a wrestlig technique on Yokozuna, it wouldn't be shoot for sure!. I probably would try to get behind him and push him forward a bit and sweep his leg with mine.
Also here' some technique I can see a wrestler use:
If they can somehow get a yokozuna on their knee (it won't be a easy task for sure) I would apply a chick wing on them.
Get to their side, try to wrap my arms around them a much as possible and push them toward side while hook my leg around their and hope trip them over.
If they rush toward me, sidestep, wrap one arm around their arm, other arm across their back and place a leg in front of them. With some luck, their leg would hit mine and they would fall down.
Get them really tired then out of blue, push them as hard as I could and move slightly to thier side and shoot for lower shin so my shoulder ram it with my hands wrap right behind their heel.
That's all I can really think of. but it have been a while since I wrestled.

Bring a spider into the ring. Yokozuna was arachnophobic and that is what ultimately caused his death.
