I thought I would come on here after Laing420 came on here putting over the King of Death Match weekend and put over another great fun weekend for Independent Wrestling and yes that's Chikara's Annual King of Trios Tournament, which always produces so many surprises and fun Match-ups every year and always has such a deep line-up.
The biggest tournament in the world - 48 wrestlers from around the globe are coming together for King of Trios 2009! Unlike last year's tournament, all 16 trios will be in action the first night of the tournament, which is Friday, March 27th. Only the surviving eight teams advance into Night 2, Saturday, March 28th, and the 4 remaining teams will face off until just one remains on Sunday afternoon, March 29th.
Announced thus far for the 3 Day's of wackiness
The Masters of a Thousand Holds: Mike Quackenbush, Jorge Rivera, Johnny Saint
The Osirian Portal: Ophidian, Amasis, Escorpion Egipcio
Team Pro Wrestling Guerrilla: The Young Bucks, El Generico
Incoherence: Hallowicked, Delirious, Frightmare
The Future is Now: Helios, Equinox, Lince Dorado
The Death Match Kings: The Necro Butcher, Toby Klein, Brain Damage

Inter-Species Wrestling presents Player Uno defending the ISW title against Twiggy! Being the first border-blocked Canadian to respond, Player Uno came back to us with an ambitious plan late last week to try and make the most out of KING OF TRIOS 2009 as he possibly could. As some of you may or may not know, Uno happens to be the reigning champion of Inter Species Wrestling in Montreal, and takes the title, and his position as the face of the company, quite seriously. Always looking to push the exposure of his Canadian home further out across the globe, Uno came to us with an idea he couldn't have been more excited about - defending his ISW title in the good ol' US of A for the very first time! And after retaining his title against Michael Von Payton last night at ISW's "Slamtasia 2" event, the honchos up North gave him an opponent for the ISW Title Bout on Night Two of KING OF TRIOS 2009 - the man who somehow lives entirely on prayers, Twiggy! Twiggy is no stranger to CHIKARA himself, taking part on cards in late 2006, and has apparently been on quite the hot streak in Canada in the time since we've last seen him. We spoke with a very groggy Twiggy early this morning to confirm the bout, and in between yawning fits, we got the sense that the red-leather afficianado sees the international spotlight that Uno has arranged for KOT09 as his for the taking, much like he plans on swiping Uno's ISW title and position as the face of Inter Species Wrestling around the world. Can Twiggy follow through on his half-awake promise to take ISW to new heights by taking Player Uno's ISW title at KING OF TRIOS 2009? Or will the relatively well-rested "8-Bit Luchadore" salvage what he had hoped to be a run at the KING OF TRIOS 2009 crown by staking his claim as the tops of ISW and a champion to be reckoned with?
