"It is a pleasure to host the NYC Big Apple Grapple at the Bar Show in the Javits Center,” said Steven L. Wesler President of RDP Group “We are proud to welcome some of the world’s strongest athletes to the Javits Center to showcase their talents in the sport of arm wrestling.” Wesler, continued, “Spectators will have the opportunity to witness incredible feats of strength while touring one of the city’s largest trade shows in America. We are truly pleased that the Bar Show can be a part of this unique annual event.” -- The Bar Show is a trade show that represents Bars, Nightclubs and Restaurants and introduces the latest trends in cocktails and includes bottle flipping, shaker spinning competitions and drink making mixology from top national and international contestants. It is expected that over 100 athletes will participate in the NYC Big Apple Grapple, coming from countries such as Turkey, Brazil, Russia, Germany, and the Republic of Georgia. “This event draws the best pro talent in the world,” said Gene Camp, Founder and President of the New York Arm Wrestling Association. Among those expected to take part in the event is Cynthia Yerby from Wolf, Oklahoma, a ten-time world champion who has won more than 30 professional arm wrestling titles in her career. Yerby has won New York City's “Queen of Arms” title seven years in a row (2000-2006), but her streak was broken last year because she didn’t compete due to medical reasons. To challenge Yerby will be last year’s “Queen of Arms” title holder Mirline Berrouet, who is also the current Empire State Champion and U.S. National Champion. -- Sean ‘The Rockaway Flash’ Ringgold will be returning to defend his 2007 New York City’s King of Arms title.
