Here are some people who I wish would return to ANW. -Star Lord (So great in ANW 5, got cut in ANW6, hasn’t returned) -Sean Morris (Vanished off the face of the earth after ANW6, only man to never fail a qualifying course) -Jesse LaFlair (more ANW5 nostalgia ) -Casey Finley (fastest stage 2 clear EVER, only competed once) -Alan Connealy (why hasn’t he returned?) -Elet Hall (record setting pace until his injury in ANW7; wish he would come back) -Evan Dollard (had a rough time after ANW4) Who would you fine people like to see return after all these years?

Definitely Levi Meeuwenberg and Brian Orosco! I know Brian competed and did... pretty badly for a few years after the Vegas Finals started, but with the modern ninja leagues and training facilities available, I see no reason why he couldn't be a contender. As for Levi, we literally haven't seem him compete since 2012. Who knows how well he could do on a modern course!

Levi Meeuewnberg, Brian Orosco, and Paul Kasemir for sure. They were some of the early greats. It would be good to have them back. I will say there's just something about the classic ninjas from the G4 era. Not too many left.
I'd also like to see Shane Daniels, Evan Dollard, Alan Connealy, Richard King, Sean Morris, Jake Smith, Andrew Karsen, Kevin Antoine, Brandon Douglas, Michael Frosti Zernow, and David Money come back. I know they all weren't huge names but they competed multiple times and were interesting to watch. Especially in qualifiers and finals.
Then there's some from the post G4 days that were interesting to watch. Ninjas like Bull Bullard, Kyle Cochran, and Preston Griffall. Then there's those who had performed strong for at least a season like Derek Nakamoto, Elet Hall, Travis Weinand, Idoku Abuh, Casey Finley, and Josh Levin (who has been in Olympics mode)

Well Rockclimbing was supposed to be in the Olympics this year for the first time and now it's postponed to next year. In terms of qualifying, I'm a bit confused of the whole process, but I believe (might be wrong) he didn't end up qualifying. USA vs. World standout Sean McColl did though.

Brian Arnold 100% - he was absent for s11, s10 runs were digested, then cut twice from the main broadcast which I couldn't watch sadly... rip

Travis Furlanic, my favorite from the first few seasons, but i heard he got hit by a car some years ago.
I also always wondered how good William Spencer (fastest in the first season) would be if he competed. His stunt/skate videos used to be pretty interesting.

Josh did not qualify to the Olympics, so we may see him come back to ninja training soon. Whatever happened to Mitch Vedepo? He finished in first place at a City Finals (one of the hardest ever) in season 9 and we never saw him again.

Josh received an invitation to Season 12, to compete in LA, but it was postponed, I do not know if he competed in St. Louis

I also always wondered how good William Spencer (fastest in the first season) would be if he competed. His stunt/skate videos used to be pretty interesting. From what I heard, Travis Furlanic can't compete anymore. He qualified in ANW4, but had his qualification revoked due to a DUI. As far as I know, that still makes him a no-go. OT: I'd like to see Frosti Zernow and Brian Orosco back, but I feel like they have moved on past ANW at this point.
