So yeah, I am very disappointed to not see some of these great competitors give it another go this season, but so far some of these guys are competing in Team Ninja Warrior 2, so it might mean they could have an oppertunity for ANW9! Also a rumour I heard concerning this season as they got a new casting team for this season of the show, so it would make sense if they left out some veterans if there audtition tapes weren't up to standard with there talent.
