The annual pilgrimage to Wings, Etc for the Mohawk assault on the Wall of Flame took place last Thursday. Four Mohawks took on the challenge, with three consuming all 16 "Wall" Wings and staking their claim to Wings Royalty. Brothers Zach & Matt Rever, along with Robbie Connor, took different routes but managed to conquer their plate of wings. Zach became only the second player to repeat and puts himself in a position to become the first Mohawk Three-Peater. He originally was set to tackle a double (32 wings) but those plans were scraped early in the event. He did take only 24 minutes to complete the task, which was by far the fastest time complete. Zach insists the wings were hotter this time around!?
Robbie, who gave serious consideration to folding after 3 wings, slugged his way through. Matt went the boneless route, which to most seemed the easier of the choices, no messy bones...just pop it in and chew, or at least that was the prevailing logic. However this choice doomed former wing king, Luke Durbin, who took a dive for milk after a mear 4 of his boneless variety, insisting that boneless were a tougher challenge. Matt undoubtably took the longest in Mohawk history to complete his task...over one hour, but to his credit seemed to gain momentum at the end. Girl friend, Alyssa Brown, congratulated him with a big kiss, becoming a somewhat willing participant in the Wall of Flame process (Nick had volunteered to do the same for Robbie, but Robbie politely declined the invite). Matt's acheivement makes him the third Rever brother to vanquish the Wall Wings...the jury is still out on whether younger brother Tim has any hope of adding a 4th (he did manage one wing...but it was ugly).
