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
