    “In a bizarre event dominated historically by Gloucester County eaters”…..

    yeah this is a real national event, gimme a break. dominated by local eaters cause everything about it is local. until qualifiers extend across the united states this will always be a local event. at least with an event like nathans there are qualifiers in different parts of the country.

    Truth is Wingador is far and away the best wing specialist on earth.

    He’s fantastic – that’s why he lost to Joey, Pat Bertoletti, Ed Jarvis and Sonya… and should have lost to Sonya twice, if not for some shady judging. And would have lost to Joey again and Squibb, twice, had he not retired.

    This article is unresearched because it says the pros are boycotting the event. Really? The pros did not have a choice in this decision. The Sheas are boycotting the event because Kobayashi will be in attendance. The pros are just following the piper by not going, except for one brave sole.

    Wingador is overweight and tired. He will not win Wing Bowl and will walk off the stage in embarrasement and shame. Watch for the underdog!

    El Wingador has been in IFOCE and APE events, and done well.

    Wingador also ate several feet of a sushi roll in the glutton bowl and won that particular contest.

    What crack pipe you smokin T.W.A.T? Lol Wingador tried the IFOCE circuit only to put up lame numbers. 18 nathans hot dogs 21 Krystals? Seems mediocre if you ask me. He is good at one thing – Chicken Wings
