Mulit-person champions...

[Xero]

They were saying on Monday that the Spirit Squad are the first tag champions to share it between three or more people. For some reason I remember there being a stable in some organization that had a title that could be interchanged between them.

So my question is if this is true or if there WAS another time when something like this happened?

And what about two people holding the same singles title, not including substitutes?

[Bazooka]

since Jericho is/was my fav wrestler of all time... I remembered that he and Chyna were IC champ (double pin) together before Jericho and Chyna wanted to split apart and be a seperate champion, Jericho wins it for himself.

it's right here in the IC history:

This is an easy one.

Demolition and Freebirds did it.

[ddpBANG]

The Triad (DDP, Bam Bam Bigelow and Kanyon) in WCW did it with the tag titles. I think the nWo did it too.

[Loose Cannon]

don't think nWo ever did it. Jersey Triad was awesome though.

WCW actually had a lot of 3 man teams back in the day that they created the Six-Man Belts.

[ddpBANG]

Didn't 3 Count share the WCW Hardcore title?

[Pinnacle Charisma]

Yeah I do remember the jericho/chyna one.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I'm almost positive the NWO did actually do it at one point. Because in a post before, I mentioned hoping the SS did it, and at the time I could only recall the NWO doing it.

Syxx did sub for Nash for one match when they lost the Tag Titles to the Steiners. But if you count that, you got to count Regal subbing for Pillman when the Blondes lost the tag titles.

And Sean Morley replacing Regal to team with Lance Storm in '03. Having replacement partners is fairly common when a champion gets hurt.

The Spirit Squad, the Jersey Triad, Demolition, and The Freebirds were the ones that came to mind when the question was posed.

Didn't 3 Count share the WCW Hardcore title?

You're right. Also, The Mamalukes were awarded joint control of the WCW Hardcore Title after they helped Bischoff beat Funk. Then Vito turned on his partner and claimed the belt for his own.

I only remember the Jericho/Chyna one. Didn't LOD have 3 members at one point? Did they share the title?

Just a thought, have any other factions ever shared the title (ie DX, NOD, Hart Foundation...)?

Nope. LOD's third member was Darren "Puke" Drozdov, but he joined after their last WWF Tag Team Title reign. And none of the others shared a belt.

Sting and Giant were tag champs, but were in opposing nWo factions. Sting and Giant wrestled each other, and the winner got to keep the belts. Sting won and made Kevin Nash his tag partner. A few shows later, I think Luger teamed with Sting to defend the belts. Sting said in his video that the Wolfpac were a team, and that that any two members could defend the titles.

To bad they didn't keep the tag titles for too long. I absolutely loved the Wolfpac.

[mrslackalack]

The Russians shared the NWA tag belts in the 80's

[thecc]

The prophecy also did it in ROH I believe.

[The Miz]

The Giant and Scott Hall were the champs, but it was Giant & Scott Steiner who dropped the belts to Rick Steiner and Buff Bagwell. Then Buff turned on Rick and Rick picked some jobber to be his new partner

[loopydate]

Kenny Kaos.

[Lara Emily]

Ahh the Triad, that made for awesome stuff, when they'd switch partners in the middle of a match :D

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, Bam Bam, Kanyon and DDP were awesome back then.

[The Fugitive]

Wouldn't Kane and Undertaker count as a multi-person champion? They did win the title at Breakdown, even though the title was almost immediately vacanted afterwards.

[Savio]

Nope. LOD's third member was Darren "Puke" Drozdov, but he joined after their last WWF Tag Team Title reign. And none of the others shared a belt.LOD won the titles after that

That one time, Orlando Jordan defended the WWE Chamionship for JBL on smackDOWN! against Booker T I think. ended in a DQ of course :roll:

:shifty:

[Corndad]

I know Demolition had 3 members at one time, they are a good possibility, but I can't remember if all 3 defended the belts or not

[Mister Sinister]

And there were the times that Orton and Finlay defended the US Title for Booker T this past year.

[Joey Slugs]

the NWO did do it. when Hall & Nash were tag champs, they were allowed to use Savage and Syxx to sub in at the start of the match (sometimes during). it was, for the most part, a 4 man tag team.... and the offical start of the wolfpac.

[Optimistic T]

The Giant and Scott Hall were the champs, but it was Giant & Scott Steiner who dropped the belts to Rick Steiner and Buff Bagwell. Then Buff turned on Rick and Rick picked some jobber to be his new partner

Yeah, as mentioned Kenny Kaos. Then he decided to drop that zero and pick up a hero... or should I say heroine. JUDY BAGWELL~! Yes, wrestlecrap.

I'm imagining there was at least ONE instance in WCW of one of the guys "refusing to job/using political stroke" in a tag match or be involved in the loss. As mentioned, there were QUITE a few instances of replaced partners.

Stevie Ray defended the TV title for Booker T after he was injured (almost if not directly) after the "WCW's/The Original" Best of 7 Series with Booker and Benoit.

There's several instances in wrestling history of managers teaming with their clients to defend belts in handicapped matches. Most notably, Fuji teaming with the Powers of Pain in their WrestleMania V loss to Demolition.
