411’s Larry Csonka had the chance to sit down with the current NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion and man behind CHIKARA Wrestling “Lightning” Mike Quackenbush. Mike discusses growing up a wrestling fan, tape trading, his early influences, breaking into wrestling the wrong way and the irony that he now trains wrestlers. From there Mike discusses how 2007 was the most fulfilling year of his career, explains what exactly CHIKARA wrestling is, discusses the wacky gimmicks, the serious side of the promotion, whether or not they plan to expand and then goes into what exactly the King of the Trios Tournament is and why it will be the biggest wrestling tournament ever held. The CHIKARA King of the Trios Tournament will feature 28-teams and 84-wrestlers battling over three days! A great 40-plus minute interview!
