Angelo Cataldi: “worried about Wing Bowl 17”
Angelo Cataldi’s latest blog entry has a paragraph about the Wing Bowl:
Wing Bowl 16 will be the best we’ve ever had. I’m already worried about Wing Bowl 17 because there’s no way to follow this one up. We have the world champion eater (Joey Chestnut) facing, for the first time, a true Philadelphia legend (El Wingador). We’ve got a wild group of challengers, all of whom are determined to win huge prizes for the best entourages. And, of course, we’ve got more hot women than we know what to do with. Is there anything better than having too many hot women?
If a deal with IFOCE and WIP has been finalized, it is surprising that no announcement has been made on one of the IFOCE websites.

The IFOCE likes to keep quiet about such things, or at least they’ve been that way in the past, so I don’t expect a mad rush to the mic about any such agreement this year either.

Yeah, it’s totally surprising that the IFOCE isn’t on top of announcing this Wing Bowl news.
Here’s why they haven’t (and likely won’t). Because the tickets have already been sold and the MLE has already been paid. No need to promote it further…other than to do right by their eaters who have worked hard to earn a spot in Wing Bowl. But who knows. Maybe it’s not public knowledge yet. Maybe the IFOCE will embrace Wing Bowl this year and do their part to promote it. Stranger things have happened.

Even if the check for Wing Bowl 16 has been cashed, you would think there would be some degree of concern about the fact that Wing Bowl 17 appears less than 100% certain.
