    “Shoudt accused conti of cheating in 2012 Conti threatened him with physical violence shoudt said ill sue true story”. This is not a true story according to those who were there. Stop making up things Brian Seiken.

    ok OJ you win i always thought conti had 2 titles instead of 4 and i thought conti and shoudt came to blows in 2012 not 2014 It seems that conti and shoudt were constantly at each others throats when it came to this contest Sean Brockert judged the 2014 event no wonder why the results were fucked up I remember 2012 corn contest Brockert who couldnt eat his way out of a paper bag bet Seiken that if he beat him seiken should quit competitive eating and if seiken beat him Brokert would do the same Seiken ate 23 Brockert welched on the bet and the loser competed three more times before quitting for good in 2016
