Philly.com and MyFoxPhilly have articles about the IFOCE prohibiting its members from competing in Wing Bowl 19 even though the restriction on “pro” eaters has been lifted. An agreement in the near future does not appear likely. Wing Bowl founder Al Morganti has the following quote: “George Shea can kiss my Boston a–“.
Philly.com reports that Kobayashi is prohibited from competing because his IFOCE contract is still in effect, but will attend as a spectator. (It would be interesting to learn when it expires).
Some of the prizes are also listed: the overall winner will receive $20,000 and the top local will get a new Dodge Ram pickup.
Brian Subich reports that Dave “US Male” qualified for Wing Bowl this morning: “Congrats to US Male completing his Wing Bowl stunt, your reward….the axe and losing to Wingador” No report on his stunt is currently available on the Wing Bowl website.
Bill “El Wingador” Simmons has decided to come out of retirement for Wing Bowl 19 to attempt to win his sixth title.
update A gallery of US Male’s stunt is available.
Bill “El Wingador” Simmons says his four year old son is responsible for his return to competition.
update Dec 8 http://www.youtube.com/user/BSchultz267 has videos of qualification stunts
A new official web site for the Wing Bowl has been set up at http://wingbowl.cbslocal.com/events/2010/12/ The calendar page announces that tickets will go on sale on December 14 and that Brad Sciullo will attempt to qualify by eating 3 pounds of calamari in 2 minutes on Monday. 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.
Philly.com has a blog entry about Takeru Kobayashi’s appearance in Philadelphia today where he considered an offer to compete in the 2011 Wing Bowl and sampled chicken wings which were reported as the first he had eaten, even though he competed in a 2007 wing eating contest in Las Vegas. The blog entry cites jaw health issues, and not a contractual dispute, as the reason Kobayashi did not compete in the 2010 Nathan’s finals.
The Philadelphia City Paper has an interview with Bill “El Wingador” Simmons who will attend Monday’s screening of the Wing Bowl documentary “Swallow Your Pride” at National Mechanics in Philadelphia. Simmons believes he should have defeated Sonya Thomas in the 2004 Wing Bowl.
A youtube page has been set up with clips from Swallow Your Pride
