Foley has long been a fan favorite at the annual event, which began in 1993\. But this time around, he said he didn’t want to overstuff himself and get sick. “I didn’t want that to be my legacy,” Foley told the AP. “So I stretched the rules. I thought people would appreciate that, right here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!” And for the record, the winner downed a record 444 wings in 26 minutes. God Bless America. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3690704/super-bowl-wing-bowl-mick-foley-ejected/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3690704/super-bowl-wing-bowl-mick-foley-ejected/"},"headline":"Wrestler Kicked Out of Eating Contest for Hiding Chicken Wings in Fanny Pack","datePublished":"2015-01-30T22:41:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:25.566Z","description":"Show some respect for the Wing Bowl, people","url":"https://time.com/3690704/super-bowl-wing-bowl-mick-foley-ejected/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Bizarre"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte1d4956c7f652b9f/69877d065f570ff50ab15078/462522096.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte1d4956c7f652b9f/69877d065f570ff50ab15078/462522096.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Wing Bowl 23","caption":"Wing Bowl 23","creditText":"Mitchell Leff—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3690704/super-bowl-wing-bowl-mick-foley-ejected/","name":"Wrestler Kicked Out of Eating Contest for Hiding Chicken Wings in Fanny Pack"}}]}] ```
