Your Chikara Announcer of the Day: Gavin Loudspeaker

It's Chikara Week, so here's your announcer of the day:

Wrestling's ONLY Rock 'n Roll Ring Announcer!

Gavin Loudspeaker was once known as Louden Noxious, but it was deemed too ethnic a name when he arrived at Ellis Island after immigrating here from the mysterious Kaiju Big Battel Islands, so it was changed. As he is quick to remind you at every Chikara show, he's the only rock 'n roll ring announcer in pro wrestling. I can vouch for this, unless you think Tony Chimel is a rock 'n roll ring announcer. I do not. Loudspeaker is known for his bombastic style of announcing wrestlers, his striking resemblance to Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance and his visceral hatred of everything BDK, including that annoying, schnizel-scented interloping usurper Jakob Hammermeir.

Gavin also plays a mean guitar and has taken to singing original numbers before Chikara events. This makes him more awesome than ever. He's also been known to co-host the Podcast-a-Go-Go, and his event center reporting for King of Trios has won a Pulitzer.... wait, it hasn't? Well it should have, dammit. It should have.
