I can see your point. Its not one on one though, its one on the entire group. Part of the NBC thing is marketability. So maybe, Id still like to see the entire pool, including JPN and USA Ninja Warriors compete against each other if the platform is more similar than dissimilar.I'm not sure I agree with that. For one, there could always be guys in this show who are just as good as the top Ninja Warrior guys, they just never competed in Ninja Warrior. For another, to use an analogy, I enjoy watching fights between mid-level guys as long as the fight as good; not every fight has to be championship calibur to be entertaining.
