I consider Chikara as one of the top indies in the US. right up with ROH and PWG. King of Trios is a big 16 team tournament that they have every year over a three event weekend. some notable teams this year is team ROH (The Young Bucks & Mike Bennett) The Extreme Trio (Tommy Dreamer, 2 Cold Scorpio, and Jerry Lyn) Team WWF (Aldo Montoya, Tatanka, and the 1-2-3 Kid) and The Faces of Pain (Meng, The Barbarian, and The Warlord). thats just some guys you may have herd of, most teams are Chikara roster members. Chikara is a fast growing indy having just recently having it first two IPPVs (High Noon in November 2011 and Chikarasura Rex in June 2012) they run two to three shows a month mostly on the east cost but do travel more and more west every year. I am probably going to do a column on Chikara if I have time as I really think its has a lot of great wrestlers and some of the best story telling in the US. it helped Antonio Cesaro, Sara Del Ray, CM Punk, and Colt Cabana make there names in the indies (yes Punk and Cabana teamed up on the first show). its very fun as it thinks up some really great and funny characters (look at the roster page and you will see what I mean) so please I encourage you to look up Chikara
