I honestly think it isn't true. In a pic that was posted earlier, You can clearly see that Paul Darnell cleared and is getting interviewed. To play Devil's Advocate, he could have easily timed out at the Wall Lift. You generally are interviewed at the place you failed also.

I don't believe the post. It is just rather odd that the person deleted their account after I said that I don't believe their claim.

I kinda call bulls**t on "Goodbye"'s "info"... Besides the fact that he said it and just left and deleted all traces of it... if that happened more than one person would talk about it... Besides that we're dealing with a top competitor field, including several competitors who are experienced at this exact same Stage 2, And because TBS is involved I don't expect any major changes in specs or design, these obstacles should work the same as before...

This. It would be just crazy having none of the "ANW All-Stars" in the 3rd stage.

Seemed like the crowd was having fun too.

Still didn't look like he made it in time(maybe just me) if he had to hit the button. Course, I was going off of what sounded like an unofficial time(Iseman or someone announcing).

Seemed like the crowd was having fun too. I really didn't like the screaming too much in Stage 2, or having that many fans in general. Sure, having loads of crowd watching Stage 2 and having those 'background cheering' might make it look more interesting when shown on Television, but this was never the case during SASUKE when pretty much everyone went home after getting eliminated from Stage 2. Mixed feelings about it, seems like watching Stage 2 will be completely different this time around
And no, I'm not dead.

I think that he pulled an Ishikawa. EDIT: Scratch that, the guy's timer was WAY off (I hope)

Well... Listen to the buzzer, he has close time, and you can hear the clear horn and see the gates open Also some anonymous info (note my source wasn't there but he heard from people who were). 3 of the northeast competitors cleared, but there were a lot of fails in stage 1, LiveWire and even David Campbell failed stage 1 (My source says they didn't pass the Spin Bridge so I assume they failed there). Stage 1 filming took from saturday night until 5 am sunday morning, stages 2 and 3 were last night and ran into this morning. Sorry to disappoint you guys but we can unconfirm some wildcards... Ryan Stratis and Mike Bernardo were only there as testers... BTW we have info on stage 3, it had Roulette Cylinder, Doorknob Grasper, "Hanging Doors" (I assume this means Floating Board), "Cliffhanger" (It wasn't said which version, apparently it looks the same so I assume this means Ultimate), Jumping Bars, Ascending Climb, Spider Flip, and we already have Flying Bar confirmed along with those last two, I don't have results from stage 3 but it sounds brutal...

DAVID CAMPBELL FAILED STAGE 1? By the way, if you can, ask for more info, please?

DAVID CAMPBELL FAILED STAGE 1? By the way, if you can, ask for more info, please? Yeah... I'm in shock too... While I don't have any real info on how he failed... Because the Spinning Bridge was mentioned I'm assuming (Note... unconfirmed) that he tried to go for the second one like in 27 and messed up, that's the only way I can see that happening..
And I'll try to get more info if possible

From everything I have seen and been trying to find before it gets shut down on the next, Stage 3 was a monster. Personally, I hope that there is a good showing in Stage 3, but I am not hoping for a winner, because I want it to take off like Sasuke, and I think a first season win would let the air out of the sails a bit.
And I didnt mean this post as not having faith in anyone that made it to Vegas either... I just hope that this years ANW is a good platform for it to take off an become a big and well known event nationwide.

3 of the northeast competitors cleared, but there were a lot of fails in stage 1, LiveWire and even David Campbell failed stage 1 (My source says they didn't pass the Spin Bridge so I assume they failed there). This I have a really hard time believing. Unless the time limit was especially strict, I just can't see there being "a lot of fails" in Stage 1. How could 9 of 10 pass in Japan and then come back and have bad results on virtually the exact same stage?
Plus, what are the chances of David failing that first stage? I mean, I guess it's possible, but when he beat it so effortlessly at 27, it's just kinda inconceivable, ya know?
Everything else you said, however, I can believe. Sucks about Strat.

Even Nagano makes mistakes that cost him in stage one. That's one of the best aspects about this stuff. It's totally unpredictable.
