They're calling it "the NYC Arm Wrestling Event of the Century," and even though this is an open event, so anyone can enter, Gene Camp, NY Arm Wrestling Association founder, says, "If you are a lucky beginner who beat everyone in your favorite local bar, my advice is to just sit down, buy some popcorn, and watch."

In addition to the US, competitors are expected from Turkey, the Republic of Georgia, Russia, Germany and Brazil.

Set for March 19th at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, weigh-ins are at 10:00 a.m. and the pulling starts at 12:30.
