Just like last year, this thread will be for open spoilers about the event that people can get. If you have zero interest in finding out results, etc. then this thread is not for you. In this thread will be obstacle spoilers and even competitor spoilers whenever possible. HOWEVER: Please note that all results that are provided are only for the benefit of the community. NDA's are strictly enforced and under no circumstances are competitors to be hounded for information. If someone graciously provides information it will be appreciated, and the reverse is true, if information is held tight then we will understand and respect their decision not to come forward. We support our competitors and have no wish to have them sued. So let's play nice and enjoy the show. This is for ANW6 Special (which if going by last year's schedule (and the aforementioned June 13-15 published dates) will be taped on Sunday, June 15. . For those who remember from last year, this is the date for the USA vs. Japan special. All rumors point to it returning with a slightly different/expanded format as last year.

How can you hate ANW so much and still know way more information about it than we do?

Seriously.... This is getting REALLY FRUSTRATING. You didn't watch one damn episode last year, yet you get info like you are a staff member.

I don't blame them for the shoddy television production of the show. I do put that into perspective. Seriously.... This is getting REALLY FRUSTRATING. You didn't watch one damn episode last year, yet you get info like you are a staff member. As for getting information.. it's limited and they are reaaaaaaaaaaally holding tight to the vest this year. I do know the Japanese are returning. NO idea which are coming. Even Inui was surprised I knew anything about it being expanded but didn't tell me anything past that. Inui figured I know more than I should as it is. LOL For the record Inui has been helping me compile the history of Sasuke for my panel next week in New Jersey (there's a thread already on that) and a book I'm writing on the subject which I expect will be completed next year. Inui took the opportunity to make sure I got the facts right so we spent 2 hours this morning talking about that over Skype. The subject of ANW came up in the last 10 minutes and he just smiled saying he had no idea how I found this stuff out (it didn't come from him). He did however confirm it's expanded but NBC is running the show (Inui is not going to Vegas as he's editing Sasuke). The rest I found out from other sources. Hell Shingo himself posted on his Facebook telling Bernardo "see you next month" for the whole world to see just last week. I thought that information was already public.

It's the adamant effort to avoid watching ANW because it somehow taints the legacy of SASUKE. It's not that at all. I find it boring, didn't like the presentation, announcers or the horrible fact checking. That's not any of the competitor's fault.

Hey, since when is there fact checking for you to hate on? I'm pretty sure there was no fact checking, because the alternative was that I was seriously intoxicated and thought I was in Denver last year when I was really in Dallas... Attachment Deleted

Nah see everyone involved took advantage of the denver trip, and either participated or got the fumes of everyone who did and all got high and moved everything to dallas and everyone was still so weeded out they didn't even notice how far they moved, it makes perfect sense, especially for any competitors given the number 420

Btw as an aside (as a fan) I did ask if the repeat disaster from last year where fans couldn't even get autographs was going to be repeated. I got a resounding no. Inui was personally sending someone else that has a different personality and assured that outside of Mount Midoriyama (meaning the NBC closed set) that if any fan wants to meet them they will make themselves available to them. So hotel, etc. they can be approached without having some vicious handler making life impossible for them (like last year). Inui wanted to make sure though, this is an NBC event so once they are within the closed set of ANW, it's NBC's rules so they dictate how much access is given to their stars (Americans included). I'm hoping to get more fan pics and meetings reports this year in light of the new news. So if anyone is going to Vegas and want to track down the stars please share your stories on this thread. The Japanese in particular are eager to not repeat the frustration of last year.

I'm determined to meet the Japanese stars. I talked to my mom about it and she would be willing to make a beeline for Las Vegas if need be! At least I hope so since she's a BIG fan of Makoto Nagano! (so am I. ^^)

Just noticed the dates listed on the locked thread USA vs Japan are wrong. The USA vs Japan special, along with the finals in Vegas; have not been taped yet. No one knows who's going to be there until after the Finals are done. The speculative dates so far are June 10-17 for the Finals, and June 18 for the Special. Please use this thread for discussion about the USA vs Japan special, including competitors. Read more: sasukemaniac.proboards.com/thread/5275/usa-japan-competitors#ixzz33sgc7RXt

I saw Shingo updating his facebook with the competitors for Team Japan. Seems they're there and I can't see them... It sucks too since HE BARELY VISITS THE US ANYMORE! I hope he sticks around and maybe travels around the US a little more... But still. Cheering for him all the way!

Ah I see. Wish they could visit other parts of the US besides Vegas. VERY shocked that Urushihara isn't coming! I thought if anyone was going to be switched it be either Asa or Yamamoto! Glad they kept Yamamoto though. ^^

I thought if they were gonna switch anyone, it would be Kanno. Shingo's too well known and Asa's too much of a "spaz" (Arsenette)
