That's what I was hoping it meant, thanks for clearing that up.

After USA got the trophy and hoopla they asked if Japan wanted to do a ceremonial climbing of the 4th stage (since they were ripped off last year but I'm digressing) and because no one qualified for it during the team event since USA sealed their victory at the 3rd stage. Morimoto went up against Ian Dory? (Sorry if I'm butchering his name  ) Morimoto edged out Ian in the Final. You are wrong on this. But like a lot of things here, its posted as truth, based on accounts, not actually being there. This was in the books from before it started, with competitors already lined up for it. AND You always talk of NBC shenanigans?!? Lol, this one will take the cake, ill talk after it airs. Hurray, NBC shenanigans! I thought we left all them behind in Season 6  Either Geoff got taken out by NBC officials and the WWE cover-up was that he never existed, or Geoff is secretly Canadian and NBC refused him a spot on team USA. Or GeoffScrewedGeoff and the ANW7 Screwjob occured. Or America wanted to seem better at Stage 4 than Morimoto and Japan, however they let Ian run Stage 4 and when he lost took their anger out on Geoff Either way this will be presented as NBC being a good company and that no shenanigans happened and 99.9% of the casual audience will not know the injustice that has happened, just like in ANW6 vs the World, and all because 'Murica. God damn I hate 'Murican TV... |

AND You always talk of NBC shenanigans?!? Lol, this one will take the cake, ill talk after it airs. Which is why I said what I said with question marks and if anyone was there to correct it. I probably won't get full details for a while but unlike last year, the event was legit or at least legit on the surface which is all I ever wanted. They had a clock that was visible to everyone involved. So no shenanigans this year with it.
Results wise, USA won with Europe in 2nd and Japan in 3rd again. Morimoto being the highlight again for Team Japan for those interested. USA won it in the 3rd stage not requiring the 4th.
If I find out more I'll post about it. If anyone knows and don't want post it you can send it to me and I'll post it. I still haven't gotten a full report on this and the ONLY thing I asked was whether it was a fair fight. I was told it looked legit on the surface so I shouldn't rage this year. NOW I'm being told it wasn't? LOL I get yelled at no matter wtf I am told. I'm only the messenger geez. If you wanted a correction like I asked, you could have sent me a message and I could have corrected this anonymously like I do every year. Damned if I do damned if I don't. |

Understood. I think the frustration that is thrown at me is unwarranted and I always bite back. I convey reports given to me because I have no pony in this race. I am not subject to NDA and I don't even blog about ANW as a whole. I only blog about the World event. I only bother doing any ANW reports because I am interested in the Japanese competitors as my blog for 7 years has been Japanese centric. And because they are my friends and they asked me to do it as this is the only way the Japanese can ever learn about ANW as it's blocked over there in Japan. Otherwise I would have stopped blogging 2 years ago and ESPECIALLY after the bulls**t from last year. I stopped this year doing anything ANW. The ratings thread and all of the television threads even though everyone is complaining to me to do it next year because it's so disorganized. I'm not doing it.. why should I? To get attacked again?
I always support all of the competitors and for the record I applaud them for doing what they do because ANW is hard as hell. To be crowned anything ANW is like winning the decathlon. I've been trying to get the kids here to understand that my concerns are with NBC as a company and the bulls**t editing that they do because THEY want a certain thing. Hell if this was aired live there's enough drama and epicness on it's own. They don't need to fabricate greatness because it's already there! They do this with the friggin' Olympics for crying out loud. I still follow the reports from ANW because I care about the competitors that compete. I could care less with how NBC presents the show. I often wonder if they even care because the treatment that they do to it's people and how it's presented doesn't look like it. And of course because they created the whole Sasuke fan vs. ANW fan as if we are stupid enough to fall for it. There's plenty of fans for both and they are different enough from each other to be able to enjoy both. I don't happen to like NBC's presentation of the event and I don't take it out on the competitors. That said, every year I question why I even given these reports if anything I get is backlash. Here I am actively looking forward to the show because I know the whole thing is legit this year and I get crapped on because they misread a line. I have yet to figure out wtf I said was negative so mark me as someone who is pissed off for being attacked on writing something good. I understand people hate me for some reason or another.. but if I'm wrong about something then point it out. Don't attack em because you are venting on what others have said. It's infuriating.

I have not watched this since the first one I hate the format so I skipped last years and will skip this years.
I think all the contestants should run every stage until they do that; I will pass

Well I hope it all runs fair and clean and I hope not to see moravsky throwing vitriol around on rambling rican. Really interesting to see how ryo does, given he was the worst performer of the 5 at sasuke 31.

He only got angry because I actually commented on his tasteless comment about his friends. Everyone who read his comment knew it was totally uncalled for what he told me. He also attacks people on Facebook for for the same reason. He also attacks people if they don't like him on Facebook as well. It's pretty sad actually. |

If I'm looking at the wrong page (looking at US vs World Review Part 3) then link me to the one with the joe moravsky comment please? |

Apparently he was upset about something and ran back to my blog to insult me again. That one was the saddest since it was so many months after it aired and a year after the event happened. |

Very disheartening, I was hoping it was some fake account but those 50k views probably tell otherwise. This actually kind of scares me, how many other ANW's are like this??

I was never a massive fan, a lot of his features felt pretty artificial, but I didn't expect that.

NBC hasn't said anything about it, at the same time last year the public announcement was also at the end of the ANW6 season finale.

Much appreciated. I know some of the Japanese are getting anxious and know it was this time last year. Giggles. ♥ Thanks for letting me know! Hopefully we will hear something on Monday.
