Mitchell Leff—Getty Images by [Samantha Grossman](https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/) ## Samantha Grossman Jan 30, 2015 10:41 PM UTC If you’re unfamiliar, the Wing Bowl is a beautiful event held in Philadelphia each year — and by “beautiful event” we really mean “grotesque carnival of human gluttony.” One participant in the annual chicken-wing eating contest, retired wrestler Mick Foley, could not handle the pressure and was disqualified after he was found stuffing uneaten wings into his fanny pack, the Associated Press [reports](http://news.yahoo.com/pro-wrestler-mick-foley-booted-cheating-wing-bowl-150846361.html). 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"}}]}] ```
