What Do you Mean Producers are Desperate and Uneasy? Exactly what I mean, desperate for teenagers to do well, there's a literal bias for them. They were rooting against veterans. Why Don't they like the veterans? They're the ones who make the show |

Exactly what I mean, desperate for teenagers to do well, there's a literal bias for them. They were rooting against veterans. Why Don't they like the veterans? They're the ones who make the show They want to push the new generation stars hard, and if one of them were to win, it would justify it in their minds. I don't see anything wrong with trying to create new stars, but I don't think going the children route was the right option. Could've used that energy to put over the already young 19, 20, and 21 year old stars. People want to see adults run the course. |

Ratings went up 0.70% but the show is still at 350K 18-49 viewership. Which is bad. Honestly even if NBC doesn't pick up ANW again, it will likely go back to G4 which will be a win for everyone. Current viewership is 2,749,000 If it goes to G4 it's going to be doing like sub 1,000,000, G4 is a terrible channel to have your show on. I'm thinking Fox Sports or ESPN might purchase it in 2024. Maybe even Turner because they took Wipeout. It won't go to G4, at least not anytime soon. They're struggling to even get the new eps of Sasuke up. |

Over Under is like a two option version of Wheel Flip where there's a fast option if you can nail the laches and the slow draining option if you can't.
Flipped Around could be a Spider Flip replacement with some changes. After the first board is flipped and locked, instead of a lache, they climb up and stand on a small ledge like Spider Flip and jump across to the other board. Would have to adjust the heights of the flipped first board and the unflipped second board to be level like Spider Flip. Could also make the end a bit harder by either, requiring them to climb up the second board after its flipped and locked so they have the height to jump onto one of those Stage 3 rest platforms, or keep the second lache but going to the spinning board at the end of The Dungeon, or lache up and onto that tilting Cat Grab wall from Pipe Dream in ANW11 Stage 3.
Another brutal version of this could make it a whole section in Stage 3 that combines it with The Hinge and The Dungeon to look like - first part of The Dungeon, first Flipped Around board, climb up again to Spider Flip onto middle part of The Hinge, jump to second Flipped Around board, climb up again to Spider Flip onto last part of The Dungeon.

I would argue most people say teenagers have a. Advantage over veterans due to time and responsibilities. I think it plays against ANW having someone who can be so dedicated years in sport, pushing a sport that wasn’t a sport when people started. I do love all the teens who are so talented and don’t want to take anything against any of them. I hope ninja can continue but the lack of support through viewership worries me. Hopefully it’s just due to streaming surfaces and everyone is hurting compared actual live video.

What exactly is the point of only having 60ish ninjas in Vegas. Make it top 20 to Vegas or something if we're only running 4 semi's. In ANW 5 they had tons of wildcards to fill the gap. It's supposed to be Midoriyama not a glorified city final. .-. I'm wondering this too. Even with three extra women for each of the four shows, you're only at 72 runners total. Already it's hard enough to get runners even to Stage 3. What do they possibly gain by having even fewer people compete? |
