If there’s one thing we know about CHIKARA tag tournaments, it’s that every promotion from around the world is itching to send a squad in to take the tournament home for themselves, and this year is seemingly no different. The first outsider team for 2009’s King of Trios tournament was announced today, a trio representing California’s Pro Wrestling Guerilla promotion. El Generico, an independent wrestling favorite and a veteran of the CHIKARA tournaments, steps in the ring at KOT 2K9, teaming with Matt and Nick Jackson, the Young Bucks. The Jackson brothers are the current PWG Tag Team Champions, Generico is a former PWG World and 4-time Tag Team Champion, at one point holding both main PWG titles at the same time, so it’s blatant that PWG has assembled a strong, exciting trio that has all the potential in the world to take the entire tournament; we’ll see if they can do it on March 27-29 in Philadelphia.
