Chikara's Kings of the trios hype thread

So yeah, i'm gonna try to keep this thread updated as more teams get announced. I also plan on attending all 3 nights of this.

From www.chikarapro.com

Last February, we ushered out an old CHIKARA tradition, and ushered in a new era for our company. The annual Tag World Grand Prix, a monstrous tag team tournament that dated back to 2003, was laid to rest as we finally crowned Campeones de Parejas. With Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli victorious in the tournament, and with CHIKARA gold proclaiming them the finest tag team in the world, the need for a Tag World Grand Prix had expired. So, this coming February, we're going to give you crazy CHIKARA fans your tournament fix, have no fear. But it won't be tag team overload like you've come to expect from our Season Premiere. When we return to action on Friday night, February 16th of 2007, it will be with the first night of a little something we call "King of Trios."

Previously announced for the tournament is a trio packed with charismatic rudo goodness. Two past CHIKARA stars will return to the fold to join CHIKARA regular "Sweet n' Sour" Larry Sweeney for King of Trios. "Simply Marvelous" Mitch Ryder is back on the scene after a long absence, and he joins forces with his protege-by-osmosis Larry Sweeney, and the legendary Robbie Ellis, of Sports Illustrated fame. Ellis, just back from a tour of Italy, marks his return to a CHIKARA ring after last visiting us in 2003 during our Allentown run.

The second trio entered into our tournament consisted of Chris Hero and the members of the Kings of Wrestling, Icarus and Gran Akuma. At our event "Brick," these three men brutalized Claudio Castagnoli, but FIST acted only under the direction of Hero. Tired of playing Hero's lapdogs, FIST has ousted Hero from their tournament trio, and are claiming to have a third partner ready to go, but this partner has not yet been announced. How this change of command within the Kings of Wrestling stable will affect Hero is as of yet unknown.

The third trio entered into King of Trios is a stable of CHIKARA regulars now known as "The Order of the Neo Solar Temple." UltraMantis Black, the leader of the trio, recently recruited Crossbones, the heavyweight horror, into his ranks. Mantis summoned Hydra from the depths of unknown ambiguities in November 2005, and the two have been largely inseparable, barring a brief spat over a Savage Garden mix tape, ever since. The Neo Solar Temple represents the third straight team of rudos entered into King of Trios.

TNA is on the rise, much like the three stars being sent to us straight outta the TNA X Division. The team of Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt and Alex Shelley will make their way to CHIKARA come February, to represent TNA in our King of Trios tournament. Aside from their TNA accomplishments, Sabin and Shelley are a championship tag team duo with Zero One Max in Japan, and Dutt, a hero in his native India, made his way up through the ranks of CZW before becoming a breakout star on the national scene. All the paperwork has been properly filed this time around, and Leonard Chikarason and Jim Cornette are both pleased to have Sabin, Dutt and Shelley as part of King of Trios.
