The Kings of Wrestling were a Professional Wrestling Tag Team/Power Stable that started in CHIKARA in 2005 and which found success there, in Ring of Honor, CZW and elsewhere for some five years. It started when Chris Hero turned heel on Mike Quackenbush during the SuperFriends-Claudio Castagnoli/Arik Cannon final at CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2005 Night III, February 20, 2005. A year later, Hero and Castagnoli won the 2006 TWGP and became the inaugural CHIKARA Campeones de Parejas. Over the course of the group's existence, Hero and Castagnoli would win the ROH World Tag Team Titles twice, the CZW World Tag Team Titles twice, the JCW (Juggalo Championship Wrestling) Tag Team Titles once, and KOW members Maxime Boyer and Chuck Taylor would both hold the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup, and, in 2010, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter named Hero and Castagnoli "Tag Team of the Year."

Heel–Face Turn
 The Kings of Wrestling (Wrestling) / int_617f0563
comment
Heel–Face Turn: At CHIKARA Brick on November 17, 2006, F.I.S.T. (Icarus and Gran Akuma) d. Hero and Claudio for the CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas. (Claudio was supposed to go to WWE, though he didn't get there until 2011.) Hero told Claudio that he had brought him into CHIKARA and it was time to take him out. Hero and F.I.S.T. all attacked Claudio. At Cibernetico and Robin on September 22, 2007, the Kings of Wrestling insisted that they all get something they want in exchange for signing new contracts. Claudio didn't say what he wanted. After the Kings won the match, via Claudio pinning Mitch Ryder (the entire other team had been eliminated, but the Torneo Cibernetico rules insist There Can Be Only One, and thus Claudio had to defeat Hero and Ryder to win the match), Claudio said that what he wanted was freedom from the Kings. This led to Claudio eventually defeating Hero at Stephen Colbert > Bill O'Reilly on December 9th (a special, free show due to how the intended Season Finale Chapter 11 on November 18th had ended early because of Lince Dorado's injury in his match with Ryder.)

Rock–Paper–Scissors: On the July 26, 2010 (taped May 22nd) episode of ROH on HDNet, Hero, Claudio and Shane Hagadorn made their way out to the ring with Hagadorn announcing that he had picked three teams for the Kings to showcase their skills against. They Squashed Ice Jackson and Josh Emanuel in the first match, and Adam Cole and Nick Westgate in the second. (The Briscoes defeated them in the third match.) Before each of the first two matches, Hero and Claudio used this method to decide who would start.

Loophole Abuse/Exact Words: In the SuperFriends' promos at TWGP 2005, Hero insisted that he and Quack would be going to the finals. He never said that they were going to win, just that they would be going to the finals, leading to a Motive Rant. Immediately after Castagnoli and Cannon won the match, Hero cut a promo about his history with Quack, dating back to before CHIKARA debuted, how Quack had defeated him on Night I of the IWA Mid-South Ted Petty Invitational 2004, how Quack had always wanted to make it to the finals of a tournament, and how Hero took it all away from him.
