I don't remember the precise context now, whether it was a This Is SportsCenter ad or just what, but it's a reference to a joke Truss and I saw on TV one time, featuring a mashup of platform diving (in which one of the scoring criteria is how small a splash the competitor makes) and sumo wrestling.

"He's going for no splash..."

"In his dreams, Bob!"
