Shirota vs. Menchetti New Year’s Eve showdown
Deresque has information about the New Year’s Eve eating contest that Nobuyuki “the Giant” Shirota and “Gentleman” Joe Menchetti will participate in. The competition will be part of a professional wrestling / competitive eating extravaganza that will be televised on TV Tokyo. (Pro wrestling is called “hustling” in Japan.) Shirota had a giant spoon at the event announcing the contest.
The transcript of this press conference announces that Gal Sone will be having an eating contest with retired mixed martial artist / pro wrestler Antonio Inoki during the event. Inoki fought Muhammad Ali to a draw in a mixed martial arts contest in 1976.

Joe Menchetti is currently getting more press than all IFOCE eaters combined. What is happening? Where are the IFOCE contests? When is the next contest? Are they folding or downsizing? Where will the eaters go? Will they change the contract? If anyone has any inside information on this I would certainly like to know. Thanks.

Relax. There will be a slew of IFOCE contests being posted very soon. Noone is folding or downsizing they are just taking a break. It took awhile but Menchetti is finally getting what has been owed to him for quite some time which is recognition.
