King of Trios is a three-night tournament promoted by the CHIKARA wrestling promotion. The tournament is a different take on the Tag World Grand Prix event that the company is known for annually promoting; in King of Trios, instead of tag teams, there are trios that will compete in Six-Man Tag Team matches to see which of them will advance. The first King of Trios was held "way back when", where the first crowned champions were Georg Hackenschmidt, Frank Gotch, and the great Sonny Warcloud.
2007[]
All in all, sixteen trios competed in the tournament, making for a total of forty-eight competitors. The tournament marked the 2007 season premiere of the promotion. The three nights of the 2007 tournament took place on February 16 2007 in Hellertown, Pennsylvania, February 17 in Barnesville, Pennsylvania, and February 18 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The eventual winners were the trio of "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush, Shane Storm, and Jigsaw, after defeateding the trio MIYAWAKI, Yoshiaki Yago, and KUDO.
