Michael Pericoloso

Michael Pericoloso was a rafter and two-time competitor on American Ninja Warrior.

He first competed on American Ninja Warrior 4, in the Northeast Region. In qualifying, his run was digested, but it was shown that he managed to make it to the Warped Wall, but could not scale it. However, his time was good enough for 25th place and a spot in the semi-finals. In the finals, his run was digested again, but it was shown that he again failed to clear the Warped Wall. However, he was one of only 15 that day to clear the Jumping Bars, and as a result, scraped in at 15th place and moved on to Vegas. In Vegas, his run was digested for the third time, but it was shown that he was one of 10 competitors to go out on the Half-Pipe Attack.

He returned to compete on American Ninja Warrior 5, in the Baltimore region. In qualifying, his run was digested, but it was shown that he finally scaled the Warped Wall and cleared the course, placing 24th overall. In the semi-finals, his run was digested again, but it was shown that he was disqualified on the Body Prop after he grabbed the top of one of the walls and swung over, his foot tapping the water in the process. However, this was good enough for 14th place and the second spot in Vegas. In Vegas, his run was cut, but it was revealed he surprisingly failed the Jumping Spider, despite clearing it the previous year.
