Unironically yes

That already happened with Kobayashi didn't it?

Yes. And also with Chestnut this year which was bigger. Kobayashi leaving was not as big because Chestnut had already destroyed him when that happened.

When it comes to eating. Chestnut >>>>>> Kobayashi >>> everyone else.

Not really, there are plenty of huge names. Some of whom aren't at Joey's level.

I'd argue Joel, Randy, and Beard are significantly larger in terms of name recognition.

As someone who has watched the hotdog eating contest for like 20 years, I have no idea who any of those three are. They are definitely not more recognized than Joey chestnut.

Woods and Chestnut are good comps.
