Grayson Waller Says His Dream In Wrestling Was Originally To Do The King Of Trios With Chikara

Grayson Waller looks back on what he wanted to accomplish in pro wrestling.

From 2007 to 2019, Chikara would hold their three day King Of Trios tournaments and would serve as the promotions premiere event. For current WWE superstar Grayson Waller, this was a tournament he set out to partake in when he began his wrestling career.

While speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Grayson Waller was asked if he always saw himself ending up in WWE, with Waller admitting that he did not, and he stated that his original dream in wrestling was to wrestle in the King Of Trios tournament with Chikara.

“To be honest, no. I just loved wrestling. I loved Friday and Saturday, going out with the boys and chatting backstage and doing these matches, it was fun. I loved wrestling, and I obviously had goals. My goal was to just do an indie in America, because I used to watch American indie wrestling. I was like, that’d be sick. I remember King of Trios, and Chikara was one I used to love. I was like, if I get to do King of Trios, man, that’s a dream made. So this didn’t seem like a potential; there was no chance of it happening. Whereas now, I think the guys and the girls in Australia see the road, it’s like, oh my god, it’s possible. And even talking to a bunch of fans in Australia, they go, ‘Hey, I really want to start training. Where should I train?’ They can see there’s an opportunity there. They can make it happen, which is really, really cool that, I think myself, Rhea and Bronson and obviously Kyle Fletcher two are showing these Aussies hey, this is 100% possible for you to achieve.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Waller spoke about how a match with CM Punk serves as his dream match in wrestling. You can read more about that here.
