Was Hoshoryu angry at Takayasu at the end?

He seems to push Takayasu after he already got out and he stays put to stare him down

19 seconds into the fight Takayasu was out of the ring. He's know to just stop fighting when it's obvious he won't win. Hoshoryu had a hold on Takayasu's arm. At that moment, Hoshoryu had a choice: hold on to Takayasu's arm and keep him safely on the raised platform, or shove him down, possibly injuring him. Hoshoryu chose to shove him down, and glare.

That's a great pro wrestling move, but I'm a little surprised to see a yokozuna do it.

Hoshoryu has a strong "Get out of my dohyo" vibe. Actually Ryuden has a similar vibe, but Hosh makes it look cool.
