 16 Trios Will Enter Night 1...only 8 Will Survive!  CHIKARA's Director of Fun, Wink Vavasseur, raised some eyebrows by entering The Submission Squad into King of Trios 2012 as the tournament's first ever "Quatro." The Submission Squad faces a monumental challenge in the first-round against the devious Ultramantis Black, Frightmare, and Hallowicked (The Spectral Envoy)!  Three of Japan's most sensational athletes, from the JWP organization, are set to lock up with the multiple-sport athletes known as The Throwbacks! Can the newly-crowned Young Lions Cup champion, the brash Mark Angelosetti, lead his trio past the threesome of joshi superstars?  The first round for King of Trios 2012 has been confirmed – it’s Scott “Jagged” Parker, Shane Matthews and Gran Akuma vs. Obariyon, Kobald and Kodama (The Batiri)!
 Mike Quackenbush, Jigsaw and Manami Toyota will compete against combatANT, deviANT and Soldier Ant (The Swarm) at King of Trios! Tensions will be high when Quack and Jigsaw meet two of their hated rivals during the biggest tournament of the year. Will Quack, the patriarch of CHIKARA, lose his cool once again at the expense of GEKIDO?
 Fire Ant, Green Ant, and assailANT (WInk Vavasseur's version of "The Colony") team up to face the visiting Team Sendai Girls made up of DASH Chisako, Meiko Satomura and Sendai Sachiko.
 Chuck Taylor, Johnny Gargano, and Icarus (F.I.S.T.) match up against Kikutaro, Ebessan, and Takoyakida (Team Osaka Pro) but only one can advance to the quarter-finals! | | | | |
