...Triangle/Triple Threat/Three Corners,/three ways ect...
So I’m finally posting on TPWW after getting my news hear from at least 1997 and on. Back when it was Triple A and some other guy, talking about life in Yonkers and not Ryan Clark saying stupid shit. Thanks for having me, I’ve been reading your posts for years I’ve seen people come and go and change user names, so you may call me a "newb" but I’ve probably been around here reading longer than a lot of you, even before some of you could type. Anyway glad to be a registered member after all these years,
I suppose I should have waited for a more Epic Topic…With the buzz in wrestling I sure picked a bad time to make such a lamish thread, it hasn’t been a slow news day for awhile in the wrestling world.
Anyway, WCW had the Triangle match where there was only two wrestlers in the ring at once, anyone can tag anyone, they did these for both single and tag matches. I always found the rules to be ridiculous, but at least they had them as far back as 94 as far as I can remember.
Then one day Raymond Reugeau came onto my TV during WWF Programming to do the spots for Canadian house shows and TV Tapings, one was a double TV taping (not advertised as one) event dubbed "Triple Threat". I believe the Match was Michaels, Hart and Sid(or Taker). Now this triple threat match wasn’t the triple threat match we know now. I was there and I remember everyone in the crowed being confused how you won, did you have to pin both at once or could you pin them individually, anyway Michaels won by pinning them both at once with a cross body from the top rope to both of them.
About Three to Six months later (or so it felt as a child, may have been less) WWF TV had a triple threat with "New Rules"… The Fact that the announcer said New Rules gives me the impression that (since it was done on a house show on never on TV as far as I know) they must have done the triple threat in a bunch of cities (they said Toronto was the first ever but they may have said that at a few big events, I think that was the taping of the two last 1 hour raw’s, as they taped two episodes at once)
The "New Rules" Match that took place on TV involved Owen Hart and pretty sure Savio Vega and whoever ells would be feuding for the IC belt then (Goldust maybe)
So what im getting at is:
Did you guys hate the two other sets of rules as much as I did?
Anyone Actually Like the Other Rules?
How far back do these matches go (NWA,WCW,WWF, no Indy’s.
Did WWE do any before the Skydome one?
And any other general discussion regarding triple threat matches, In my opinion they don’t do enough of them with the mid-card, they can be very entertaining and a great way to give an extra few guys TV time a week, Just make sure they’re wrestling matches and not spot fests. WCW has a lot of people who are heavier then cruiserweights but could be considered Junior Weights (Danielson, Tyson Kid, guys those size) if they’re not going to give them a cruiser weight division at least have those guys work nice 10-15 minute triple threat matches.
I feel they don’t like to do them with mid-carders (only main event) as the mid-carders have proven in the last decade that they can steal the show with a triple threat (Jericho,Eddie,Angle @WM)
