In the Stage Two, La Flair completed the new Hang Slider, but on the redesigned Double Salmon Ladder, he completed the transition to the second ladder, however the bar slipped off the rungs while La Flair was getting ready to begin climbing again, ending his run.
American Ninja Warrior 6[]
In American Ninja Warrior 6, he competed in the Venice qualifier again. His run was cut from the broadcast, but from a video from YouTube, it was shown that he failed the Slack Ladder. He failed it when he stumbled at the end and his hand touched it, disqualifying and eliminating him from the competition.

American Ninja Warrior 8[]
