And Paul applied to ANW8 and ANW9. No calls. Not a big enough "personality" for NBC sadly. Then why did he say that he didn't apply? If NBC treats him like that, why not say the truth?

Jeremiah Morgan was back this season in Kansas City. He didn't compete last year because filming was on Sunday and it was against his beliefs. He knows the Sabbath is actually on Saturday, right?

Don't forget about Dorian Cedars and William Brown Theory: After the failure in ANW7, he felt the Silk Slider will never accept him so he quit xD

There are only four competitors who competed every season. There have been many prolific people who no longer compete. I was thinking make a list of some of those who no longer compete. Some on the list have felt that the show has become too much reality tv, some the producers haven't invited back, some had there jobs prevent it, and some there is no known reason. Some made it far and some were frequently highlighted in the past. People who come to mind: ... Dustin McKinney Good news on this front: He's back from his deployment safe and sound, and competed at the NinjaQuest NNL competition last Saturday. I saw him on the livestream, and it looked like he hadn't lost much ground if any. I think they mentioned his deployment in the last season he completed and said he'd be out the following year due to his deployment.

Couple other notables that haven't been mentioned yet:
Stephen Volcko Patrick Cusic Danny Johnson (I think he still applies) Michael "Frosti" Zernow Adam Laplante Trevor "Tre" Vaughn
EDIT Oh and how can we forget!?! Alison Haislip Olivia Munn Sara Jean Underwood (never officially competed in ANW, but unofficially ran ANW3, failed on Quad Steps, I think)

I thought that both Remi Bakkar and Derek Nakamoto had a potential to become an elite competitor. Miss them a lot. Remi probably re-joined Cirque du Soleil after the ANW? As for Derek, I suppose that he's working very hard for his job. I'd like to watch Paul Kasemir, Elet Hall and Stephen Volcko again as well.

Here's all of the ones that I know Levi Meeuwenberg - Retired to Michigan to become a farmer Brian Orosco - Became a CrossFitter Travis Furlanic - Got DQ'd from ANW4 for a past DUI, hasn't been allowed back Shane Daniels - ? Evan Dollard - Presumably focusing on his TV career Dustin Rocho - ? Jake Smith - Still doing parkour in Colorado Andrew Karsen - Trains with Philip, no clue why he hasn't been back Kevin Antoine - Still applies. He's stated here that he might apply to Beastmaster. Derek Nakamoto - ? Elet Hall - Quit Ninja Warrior due to the public nature Travis Weinand - ? Kyle Cochran - ? Bull Bullard - ? Idoko Abuh - ? Josh Cook - Still does NNL Casey Finley - No one has any idea. I've asked several ninjas and they say he still applies but even they know why he didn't get called for ANW6. Isaac Caldiero - Said he wouldn't be back unless they let him skip regionals and go straight to Vegas, they said no, he abandoned all his friends. Brandon Douglass - Still doing parkour competitions and most recently surfaced on Ultimate Beastmaster Rob Moravsky - Did poorly in ANW8 which probably prevented his return Preston Griffall - who? Geoff Britten - Quit due to the reality aspect of the show, currently works on ATS (production team) Jeremiah Morgan - Probably something conflicted with his warped view of Christianity Dustin McKinney - Maybe he's stationed somewhere? Paul Kasemir - Didn't apply to ANW8 due to a 6-month honeymoon, no idea if he applied this season or not Regarding Jake Smith, I actually asked him through Facebook. It was like the first competition he was gone, and I asked him why he was not there. He just said something like “lost interest sorry dude.”

Alison Haislip Olivia Munn Sara Jean Underwood (never officially competed in ANW, but unofficially ran ANW3, failed on Quad Steps, I think) Steve and Tre both were tired of competing back in ANW4, or 5. I forget the exact number. I competed with them in Denver. Steve was basically taking the piss out of it and actually seemed a bit upset when he made it to semis. Tre was taking it as a joke and was just trying to get fastest time in semis for the prize money. Both of them were pretty disillusioned to the product at that point, I think. Steve is a great guy. Haven't talked to him in years though. He was around prior to ANW even being a thing. At one point he was giving up his job to train. Lots of things change I guess. What about Rich King?

Would like to see Paul Kasemir back. He has been doing Wolfpack, Team Ninja etc so still on the scene. Always liked him.
Would also like to see Geoff v Isaac 2.0
From the rest mentioned, Derek Nakamoto (if he still only sleeps 2 hours a day as claimed then he is probably not very well), Elet Hall.
And not mentioned yet, Jesse Villareal (looked like he had real potential) and if Kane & Shane still turn down Sasuke I would like to see them... They are not over the hill just yet.
Oh yeah and how can I forget Jon Stewart, one of my inspirations and still on the scene I believe.

Aah my bad. I get confused as I only discovered Ninja/Sasuke in February and have burned through 9 seasons of ANW, all the specials, NW NL, NW Aus, some NW UK, Sasuke, etc etc.
2017 has been one big blurr of ninja obsession that's taken over my life! Injured my wrists aiming too high before getting fit and I am busy building a ninja website to rival all the rest!
