American Ninja Warrior 10[]
Morgan "Moose" Wright at the Miami City Qualifiers - American Ninja Warrior 2018
Wright returned to compete in Miami in American Ninja Warrior 10. In qualifying, he placed a bet to have Matt and Akbar put on Moose hats if he finished the course. Wright used an interesting technique on the Slippery Summit by facing backwards, and was able to clear the obstacle (although he did lose his hat in the process). He was able to finish the qualifying course, and hit his first buzzer. Wright finished in 11th place overall.
His run in the city finals was digested but it was shown that he had shockingly failed on the Ring Turn, particularly due to him rushing the obstacle, and despite clearing it in qualifying. He missed out going to the national finals, as he placed 21st overall.
American Ninja Warrior 11[]
Wright returned to compete in the Atlanta Qualifiers on American Ninja Warrior 11. Sadly, he fell at the Ferris Wheel and didn’t get there fast enough to earn a spot at the city finals, as he placed 31st overall.
