Dave “US Male” Goldstein and Brian Subich are scheduled to attempt their stunts on Tuesday. 5 Wing-Off qualifiers are scheduled for January 2011. Wing Bowl founder Al Morganti says the total purse will be over $100,000 and the grand prize will be $20,000 cash.

How did “US male” get such an easy stunt? the other stunts are next to impossible for all but the very best eaters. Or should i say, why did they accept such an easy stunt? Maybe if he finished it off with a slice of pie and a dish of ice cream. 4 qpc’s. come on now.
que the music… (circus music).

That is a fair question Cutter. I actually had a much better stunt that I was going to propose. As I was driving into work Tuesday morning listening to WIP, the host Angelo was asking co-host (and former Phila Eagles player) Hugh Douglas what food he would do if he were to call up and propose a stunt. Hugh said he loves the Quarter pounder and cheese with bacon. Angelo asked the other co-host and WIng Bowl founder Al Morganti how much time he would give Hugh to eat 4 of the sandwiches and Al’s reply was 5 minutes. Since they were not getting many stunt calls, Angelo suggested that they open up that stunt to the first person who calls and accepts it and Al was Ok with it. So I called and took it. Why not, it is a snack that I will do in almost half the alloted time and assure me easy entry to the Wing Bowl. Other local eaters already (jokingly) contacted me to tell me what a lucky ass I am to have that and admit they would of called to if they heard it.

Sounds like you were in the right place at the right time, good luck U.S. Male!! I am sure you will have no problem qualifing. @www I am a little confused too if this is a sanctioned event or not but I am assuming all of the MLE eaters have received the green light to compete so I will be rooting for you guys! MLE eaters are the best eaters in the world and if any of them should win its a win for all of MLE.

Of course they wouldn’t allow it, it generates no money for them… in 3-5yrs time the IFOCE is going to eventually be 5 eaters under paid contracts doing eating stunts and exhibition for sponsors, whilst the rest of the other MLE eaters will wise up and go indy much like Boone, J Joe, Larue, Schuillo etc… Sure you will have a few who will drink the kool aid like Wrecking ball.
Not telling an eater they can’t compete in non IFOCE sanctioned event is about the most controlling thing I’ve ever heard. I’m in the same boat as you US Male, I’m sure eventually everybody who doesn’t get special treatment by the IFOCE eventually will get fed up with it and leave.
Kobi built the competitive eating and look at the treatment they gave him.

So US MALE,are you gonna say “aw the hell with the ifoce” and compete in wingbowl and possibly make some ACTUAL money unlike the rest of those losers?? DO IT! whether anyone wants to admit it or not, its about MONEY. do u think pat,sonya,joey,bob etc would even be in eating contests if there wasnt a big money purse involved? HELL NO! and its not even about the fame. ifoce eaters after #10 or maybe #15 or NOBODYS. No one knows who you are. so do it us male! learn from boone,larue,koby! even you wrecking ball. lets be realistic, you’re never going to be even in the top 20’s and certainly never going to beat joey or pat or bob.

So U.S. Male are you going to still compete? I am assuming yes but what about the rest of the MLE eaters mentioned? This will be interesting to see what happens, I can’t imagine MLE kicking out 10 of their top eaters just for competing in the Wing Bowl. By the way totally off subject after the Wing Bowl can we go back to WB stading for Wrecking Ball, I was very confused at first when I saw people putting WB…
Are you really suprised? said

www,
top 15 recgonized? HA! the general public knows Joey as “that goofy white kid who beat the japanese guy”… Kobi was the most recgonizable name, then the “asian girl” girl (Sonya)… you need to be a competitive eating fan to know that names….
WB,
you don’t think the MLE will kick 10 of their eaters out? HA! you watch them. Now if Joey, pat, bob, X and Sonya all did it, they may consider it. But if guys like the Goldsteins, Keeler or anybody ranked below ten did it, bet your ass they’ll give you the boot.

Kobayashi is free to participate because he refused to sign a contract. Does AICE still have contracts? Just wondering. It seems that if you sign a contract, you cannot decide that it doesn’t apply to Wingbowl or something else. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

so wing bowl is ALLOWING pro eaters, but the ifoce is not allowing eaters with signed contracts to participate. what a pickle, frickle… err whatever.
thank you for the response Dave. enjoy your snack. and good luck in whichever decision you make regarding the wing bow.

Listen in on monday once Angelo and the gang gets wind of this they will start claiming, “oh those pros are just scared of Koby and Squibb.” It’s just a shame that at this point in time a Squibb vs. Chestnut showdown seems unlikely at this point in time.

Just a reminder, Koby is not even eating in the WIng Bowl. He will just be an “ambassador” whatever that means. Myself and Subich received an email this morning saying we are not allowed to compete because the IFOCE is not sanctioning this event. Were scheduled to do our stunts on Tuesday so stay tuned. May have to put this on hold til further notice. This means Joey too!
@ www, you say I will never crack the top 20’s in ranking? Ummm, too late. lol
Brad the Lunatic will be doing a killer stunt on Monday morning so lets pull for him.

Come on BOO! It is Saturday, and you need to do some work on this yourself. OJ isn’t in charge of Wingbowl. I admit it is confusing if you go to their website, but click on the OJ link and keep working on it. It seems that there are two ways, one is to do a stunt, but that is pretty complicated. You have to propose one and get them to accept it, if they do they give you a time and date etc. The other is to participate and win one of their qualifiers. Those are listed on the link though I think one is today. If you do not live in the area, you will have to travel. Good Luck.

You’re depending on Oj rifkinf or all the answers? Wouldn’t surprise me if a moron such as yourself was stranded somewhere in the Midwest on a dark desolate road and you’re first instinct is to wait for an Oj to give you directions to the nearest eating challenge. It’s gotten ro the point where Oj is now the guru messiah with all the answers.Idiot let me make it easy for you call the station around 6am on Monday tell them you want to propose a stunt for wingbowl they will put you on the air and let you know if its a good enough stunt . Does that answer your question?

i never heard of those places nor i do know what city they are in. although i assume philadelphia.

Eatfeats seems to have comments falling into the categories of good, bad, and plain ugly. Ignoring two of the three, it is nice to see that information is exchanged here, good information. USMale helps others etc. Not totally ignoring the bad and plain ugly, I wondered whether or not Sonya ever read the hateful comments here. She never ever says a bad word about anyone. Why anyone would attack her skills or her character here is hard to fathom. Before anyone continues with unsubstantiated rumors and other ugly comments, read her last FAQ just added. Please do not write any more hateful comments about her to make her stronger. She is already a force. You only damage yourself, even if anonymously.

December 5, 2010 @ 7:18 pm
anonymous @ 12:34, you are dead wrong. Either someone contacted the IFOCE to let them know Subich and Goldstein were scheduled or the IFOCE just happened to stumble onto it on their own. Neither of these eaters called the offices to see if it was OK. It was never an issue in the past about participating in Wing Bowl so why would not be any different? Oh yeah, as mentioned earlier, Kobyashi for sure is the reason.
What kind of world do we live in when a grown adult cannot willingly sign up for an eating contest because of some dictator want-to-be saying you cannot?
anonymous said
December 5, 2010 @ 9:45 pm
Anony 7:18 this is an outrage. I could not agree with you more. What if the shoe was on the other foot and a the dictator became the eater being ordered to stay away from a major event because of a discrepancy with a former big name in the sport?. Might tell him to take your organization and stick it up your ass. . I think it has to do more with the grim possibility of major league eaters sharing the stage with menchetti, brad sciullo and dale boone. IFOCE just wont permit a circus of that magnitude. In the past cataldi and morganti were given strict orders from the sheas as to which eaters were allowed and not allowed to participate in wingbowl.. It is their show and they would rather let every tom dick and harry into the event than have to go through the sheas again to get a piece of chestnut sonya and bertolett

On Brian Seiken website he has the result of US Male attempt to qualify for wingbowl which is accurate but OJ Rifkin is waiting for “a reliable source” to post that info so as to not come off looking like a fool in case Seiken is wrong. Seiken gets his info from the actual source as opposed to Rifkins googling in the hopes of getting it from someone other than unreliable Seiken .

If WIP was smart they would clean up their act. Having guys like Tiger Wing participate who have good, clean, records & an impressive personal history is a good way to go. He was a boxer & that’s admirable. Let’s call a spade a spade while we’re at it, Super Squibb is the poster child for good guys. A corporate accountant or something with a 9-5? Now these are eaters the average man or woman can relate to. No matter when Super Squibb is on air I’ve never heard him bad mouth, trash talk, or try to throw anyone under the bus. Now if they could just get rid of the jersey shore cast, porn stars, strippers, & eaters who get drunk & make a big stink they may be able to make this thing huge. Wing Bowl may be able to hold it’s own next to Nathan’s if it got a make over of sorts. National coverage through CBS, recognition amongst the greatest contests in the world. It’s DEFINITELY something to think about & in their best interests. It could mean the longevity they hope for & the appeal it used to draw in it’s heyday. Now is the time for them to cement themselves into history as the world of competitive eating really takes off!

I can’t for the life if me understand how the $100,000 in prizes gets divided up & the competitive eaters get half of that. It’s an outrage! The event itself is based around the wing eating yet they award an equal amount in prizes to the wingette who is willing to degrade & undress herself more than the others? What ignorant, uneducated fool came up with that idea? I’m not an eater or a wingette, but I can tell you as a active fan I think that is uncalled for & unfair. Why aren’t any of you bothered by that?!?!
