After a four year hiatus the former champ who had been far removed from society is fired up and ready to reclaim his former glory in the GMG Farm Bar and Grille Hot Wing Challenge.

After four years off the circuit the only question remains- Does the Former Champ still have the will and desire to push through and take home another victory?
