Ever since early 2007, Philly-based indy wrestling organization CHIKARA has put together an annual 3-day tournament featuring 16-28 teams of three battling it out for the title of King of Trios. Such teams include CHIKARA regulars and guests from all walks of wrestling life, whether they be retro acts, unknowns in the indy wrestling world, indy favorites, international superstars or even giant monsters from the Kaiju Big Battel universe. These shows always deliver and in preparation for the 2012 tournament, I’ve been doing a post-a-day look back at its history.
