KING OF TRIOS UPDATES!
8/20 - "KENNY!" "JOHNNY!" "MIKEY!" "AND WE ARE... THE SPIRIT SQUAD!" Yes, the three male cheerleaders formerly of WWE are coming to Chikara as the first official trio announced for this year's King of Trios tournament.
8/22 - The Kings return! 2012's King of Trios champions return to KOT action this year as The Spectral Envoy's UltraMantis Black, Hallowicked, and Frightmare take to the field.
8/24 - Confirmation has now been given that Team UK will be in KOT, consisting of Mark Andrews, Pete Dunne & Damian Dunne.
8/25 - Trio #4, the perennial fan-favorites of The Colony, one group of which won the 2011 KOT tournament, will be fielding their current lineup of Silver Ant, Fire Ant, and Worker Ant!
8/26 - Sidney Bakabella's trio of face-painted psychopaths join the field as The Devastation Corporation's Max Smashmaster, Blaster McMassive & Flex Rumblecrunch will help represent The Flood in KOT.
8/27 - As if in response to The Flood's first team's appearance, the trio that turned the tide at NPWD rides into Easton, as 3Peck0's Shane Matthews, Archibald Peck & Scott Parker will be at KOT.
8/28 - The wrath of GEKIDO will be at KOT as the team of The Shard, 17 & Jigsaw will help represent The Flood.
8/29 - Trio announcements will continue to come daily next week, with Trio #15 to be announced on next week's "Event Center" video on Friday. Today's trio is The Golden Trio of Chikara's current reigning champions: Grand Champion Icarus, and Campeones de Parejas The Throwbacks, Dasher Hatfield & Mr. Touchdown. This marks the first time since KOT 2008 that there has been a "Golden Trio" in competition at the tournament, when the trio in question was the Campeones (then Delirious & Hallowicked) and the Young Lions Cup champion (then Helios).
8/30 - Another Flood team has joined the field, as a team called BDK^3, consisting of Dr. Cube & the BDK's Ares and Nøkken, will take part in the tournament.
8/31 - Yarrr! Huzzah! And such. The newest trio announced are Knight Eye For The Pirate Guy. KE4TPG, Jolly Roger & Sir Lance Steel, are fan-favorites, despite their recent association with the vand entitled "Princess" Kimber Lee. The Princess herself will join her time-displaced knight and the "party pirate" on the KOT field.
9/1 - Bully! Good show, old chap! Jervis Cottonbelly & Marion Fontaine, collectively dubbed Old Fashioned, join forces with the female powerhouse Thunderkitty to form Team Extravaganza to take part in KOT.
9/2 - Another Flood trio will take the field as the circus freaks represent. Kizarny & His Odditorium, Sinn Bodhi, Sir Oliver Grimsly & Qefka the Quiet, will bring their unorthodox style to the table.
9/3 - The Bloc Party of the Proletariat Boar of Moldova, Mr. Azerbaijan & Prakash Sabar are the latest team to take the field.
9/4 - The Flood are now fielding what can be seen as their "leadership" team, as Jimmy Jacobs will lead his disciples, Volgar (the surviving 'plague doctor') and the 'Mad King' Eddie Kingston, into battle.
9/5 - Surprising few fans, the 15th trio is The Colony: XTREME Force of Orbit Adventure Ant, Arctic Rescue Ant & Missile Assault Ant, another Flood team.
9/6 - The final trio in this year's field is L.A.X. (The Latin American eXchange) of Chavo Guerrero Jr., 'The Notorious 187' Homicide and Hernandez.
