Best Friends (professional wrestling)

Professional Wrestling, like other sports, is littered with legendary tag teams who have carved out a name for themselves. However, none has done it quite like Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta). These two unlikely friends have turned their chemistry and camaraderie into a unique brand, capturing the hearts of fans across the globe.

The inception of Best Friends dates back to 2013 in the realms of Chikara Pro Wrestling, a promotion that has showcased some of the most profound and entertaining talents in the industry. Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta were two superstars with bright futures from different parts of the country, whose careers were about to take an entirely new direction.

The duo had never met before, but Chikara saw fit to pair them as a team. The partnership was initially meant to be a one-off, and after their match together, the duo went their separate ways, not giving it much thought. However, that one match planted a seed that would soon bear fruit.

From that point onwards, they were paired again and again, both in singles matches against each other and as a tag team. Over time, they began to mesh better and better, culminating in an unwavering bond and trust that eventually saw the formation of Best Friends.

Their contrasting personalities and styles made the duo stick out; Chuck Taylor was known for his hilarity, sarcastic wit, and his proficiency in grappling, while Trent Beretta offered a more straightforward approach, demonstrating solid technical skills and a versatile move set that complimented his partner’s. Together they were a force to be reckoned with, and their popularity skyrocketed.

Best Friends have made a name for themselves in AEW – All Elite Wrestling, one of the foremost promotions worldwide. Known for their high-flying moves and spectacular performances, the duo has notched up an impressive list of victories.

Their battles against other tag teams, particularly against the Lucha Brothers, have been nothing short of legendary. They have brought thrills and exhilaration to stadiums worldwide, winning the hearts of their fans with their charismatic personas and heart-thumping performances.

Despite the fun-loving and outgoing nature of the tag team, their journey has not been without its struggles. Just before they joining AEW, tragedy struck, when Trent Beretta suffered an injury that forced them to take a hiatus from wrestling. It would have been easy for the duo to let that derail their careers, but they worked even harder on their spirit of teamwork and friendship, nursing each other back to the top of their game.

Best Friends even went as far as creating a signature handshake, something that might seem small, but in many instances has defined their friendship and determination.

As much as Best Friends is precise when they are in the ring, their partnership extends outside the arena where they have an entirely different side of them that has captured everyone’s hearts. They go on endless travels and adventures together, documenting their time together on social media, essentially giving their fans a window into their world.

Whether exploring new cities, debating the merits of different fast-food chains, or just being hilarious, the duo seems to always make the best out of every situation they find themselves in.

Best Friends have demonstrated that there is more to tag team wrestling than power moves and technical prowess; their friendship, bond, and love for each other has set them apart and made them household names in professional wrestling.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the tag team, but there is no doubt that their legacy will endure long after they have hung their boots. Best Friends have set a standard of excellence and comradery that young wrestlers can only aspire to achieve – and for that, they will forever hold a special place in the hearts of professional wrestling fans across the globe.
