“Wedges & Wings” news video on youtube
One of the KTNV news clips on the “Wedges & Wings” contests can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH7Av6uC838 (spoilers in video) El Toro is one of the competitors in the potato wedge contest. I could not recognize another another one of the competitors in that video, who is shown in the capture above.

My guess is Wing Kong. Not many bald eaters, so I’m taking a stab in the dark.

I love the guy, and hope I get to meet him someday soon, but…..El Toro made it ??? So much for the comments from many on this website that the 16 greatest eaters in the world were invited…whoever said those who didn’t get to go didn’t have much right to complain, your argument has just been destroyed.
Pat Philbin, Kevin Ross, Bubba,……OUCH

But, of course, if I had made it, I’d expect many others to be upset also…..I’m still happy for you El Toro…stay horny and focused!

what a joke oh exuse me i mean Boone, why dont you say those very words to toro’s face and see if you have a face left. This isnt Eater X or Crazy Legs you are fucking with. If you even look at him funny he will put his fist right between your eyes.

I actually don’t mind that Toro made it. He is a Las Vegas native and is very camera friendly. Am I jealous? Sure! I’d love to be in Vegas right now having fun. But I can’t fault them for inviting Toro quite honestly.

Toro has appeal to the crowd. The guy acts a little crazy looks a little crazy and has talent. I don’t understand why people are hating on him.

El Toro ramked number 41 by IFOCE is now one of the TOP 16 eaters i the World. Congrats.
It could be that his hair makes good TV and that he could almost step out his back door and be right on Fremont Street. El Toro lives in Las Vegas. Good to see another hometown boy on stage just like Rich.Too bad no one from the Savanna area was able to be in the St. Pats Day Spike TV show. There are many in the ATL, SAV and JAX areas that are just as colorful and higher ranked than El Toro that would have been good for TV.

As to that picture above, if I did not know better I would say at first glance that was me without my cowboy hat but I know I’m not in Vegas this week.
Maybe I have a twin brother? Cool.

I wont say for sure that he recieved this exposure from appearing frequently on my show but it certainly didnt hurt. This kid is a huge talent and i predicted months back that he would take off sooner or later Expect to see much more of Toro in the media including a halloween special to cap off season three of BB corner.

I’m glad he’s there, too, and of course, I’m jealous. BUT, I agree with Hangman that there should have been a Georgia eater at the Savannah, Georgia St. Pat’s Day show, if this is the justification for putting a Vegas eater on a Vegas show.
Brian, “huge talent” may be stretching it. Just like me, he’s fun, but just like me, the results are not as big as the showmanship talent. That would mean everyone ahead of him is an enormous, stupendous, gigantic, super, beyond belief, god-like, which also means maybe some of the emailed edged out eaters have a reason to pout profusely. I just hope everybody eventually gets a chance…give all of the dogs a bone!!

Paul if you lived around my way you would be a mainstay on my show. I realize you have better things to do with your time but i would go out of my way to coerce you into being a regular like Toro. Maybe we can still work something out He does westcoast edition and you handle the eastcoast edition. I think it would go over well. As far as Toro being a huge talent. He is my buddy and co anchor man so i have to favor him. You will get your piece of the pie. Im a done deal with them so you can count me out.

Who won the turkey and ham eating competition? Why no news? If Pat won one of those he should be at least ranked second and if he won both he should be number 1. I think Pat is on a roll right now.

I am shocked at the horrible comments made against the ifoce and the shea brothers. They are wonderful individuals and they work very hard to please every single member of the ifoce. Tears come to my eyes when i see hateful remarks by these ungrateful morons that complain that they werent chosen for a spike television show. “oh boo hoo hoo they didnt pick me ” A bunch of childish babies is what all of you are. It just makes my blood boil when something negative is said about George and Rich. Thank your lucky stars that they provide you with free food.
