Chikara King of Trios: Night One
American Legion Hall - Hellertown, PA
Chikara is a unique company and one of the most fun pro wrestling promotions I have ever been to. What other show can you go to see luchador ice cream men, a 64 year old wrestler and a patriotic wrestling gorilla?
This show was Night One of what will be a three night tournament of six man tag team matches. We had a lot of fun and got to meet and talk to a bunch of the wrestlers. Included on the card were Claudio Castagnoli teaming up with Los Ice Creams, rookie phenom Ricochet and veteran Tom Brandi performing as The Patriot.
