Your Chikara Referee of the Day: Bryce Remsburg

It's the end of Chikara Week, so you know we're saving the best for last:

Bryce, sans stylish playoff beard

Bryce Remsburg is Chikara's senior referee. As the den father, he's responsible for making sure that the other referees are kept safe and are fed. He may nip at Nick Papageorgio's nose every once in awhile if he steps out of line, but it's only to show him the way. As the senior ref, he also gets to ref the big and important matches like the Cibernetico and the King of Trios final match. Well, he usually gets to do that if it weren't for BDK-installed usurper Derek Sabato, but let's not talk about that.

However, if you think reffing is the only thing Bryce brings to the table, you're sadly mistaken. He also co-hosts the Podcast-a-Go-Go, is the main announcer at the Commentation Station, represents Chikara at fan functions and is kind enough to serve as the senior ref in both SHIMMER and Dragon Gate USA/EVOLVE as well as hitting spot duty for ROH here and there. He's also a strong candidate to replace Chuck Norris as the object of Internet-memes the world over. Oh yeah, he's also part of Philadelphia's underground comedy scene as a member of the Secret Pants sketch comedy troupe (along with Kristen Herman of WMMR), which according to stand-up comedian and fledgling NBA blogger/Twitter harasser Gregg Gethard, is pretty funny.
