We've had double-champions before, I know that. But has anyone ever been responsible for three title belts in the history of the WWE? I'm trying to think and cannot come up with any.

That's a good question, I was wondering the same thing. And once I saw Punk get pinned, I knew it was gonna happen.

wasn't one of those the infamous Saskatchewan Hardcore International Title?
also..I remember at one point early 90's WCW the Steiners were lugging around a ton of belts that they won in Japan or elsewhere but I cant find a pic.

This would be the closest to what I am talking about. Was Kane the sole owner of the Tag Team belts, though? This was during his stint with The Hurricane, wasn't it? Or am I thinking of something else entirely?

I'm pretty sure The Hurricane was his tag partner, but then he defended and retained both belts alone in a TLC match.
I think Hurricane was out after that and he carried both tag belts for a bit.
I could be wrong though. I'm sure someone can clarify

Yup..... Stone Cold had the WWF Title, HHH the IC Title and both were tag champs.... but that's only 2 belts each.... I believe that The Miz has set a new record......

It's not any different than someone who has held a singles title and one half of the tag titles at the same time though.
Tons of guys have done that.
The only difference in this case is the actual number of belts he physically posesses. It's just hardware though. Even though it's two sets of tag titles, they're "unified" and decided in one fall. Technically, it's one title.
The US title could be carried around in the form of 13 title belts, but it wouldn't change the fact that it's one title decided in matches as one object.
Miz is okay, its weird to me though I would've put money on Morrison being where the Miz is by now hes the better talker of the two and while Miz is making leaps and bounds in the ring Morrison Owns him skill-wise.
Not saying I dont like it I just didnt really see it turning out this way.

If I am not mistaken I think Shawn Michaels held all of the major titles at one time.

United States Championship
1 of the former "WWE Tag Team Championship" belts
1 of the former "World Tag Team Championship" belts
So 3 belts currently. He won the now "Unified WWE Tag Team Championship" belts last night with Big Show against DX and the Straight Edge Society (CM Punk and Luke Gallows [formerly Festus]) in a elimination triple threat tag match.

It's a similar situation with the Undisputed title. Despite what many will claim, Jericho (and subsequently Triple H, if only for one night) was not both the WCW and WWF champion at that point.

Actually no, they were not unified for a while after that as there were a few WCW tag champions after them separate from the WWF tag titles. In this case, Kane and Taker held two titles at once.
Xero's right there. They were unified at Survivor Series 2001 in a Cage Match between The Hardyz and The Dudleyz.

you're right. I thought they were unified when they won the wwf tag belts from Kanyon & DDP at Summerslam 2001
Miz making a run at the IC championship would make me happy.

The Tag belts have to count as 1 title, and 1 belt. Even though there are 2 belts it still counts as 1 belt.

True, but he didn't hold them all at the same time. He held the WWE (F) Championship and the European Title at the same time, while also being a former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champ.

I know this has been discussed to it fullest possibility but miz has 2 titles and 3 belts. So he's got the most belts anyone's ever held at once but draws with Angle, HBK, he who shall not be named etc.. for titles.
I'm just getting my post count up for 2011 tipsters. Never say that joesgonnakillyou isn't in it for the long haul!

It's a similar situation with the Undisputed title. Despite what many will claim, Jericho (and subsequently Triple H, if only for one night) was not both the WCW and WWF champion at that point.
I would argue this is a little different, because Jericho won both belts seperately in different falls. First against The Rock, and then Austin. He pinned both existing champions and unified the belts himself.
From that point on though, they were treated and defended as one unit. So I agree with that.
HHH was definitely not, since he won it in one fall as one title.
See, I always saw it as Jericho winning the World Championship then, when he won the WWF title, it immediately became the unified/WWF championship. Thus, he was World Champion then WWF champion. Otherwise you'd have to count it as three reigns, one for the World/WCW, one for the WWF and one for the Undisputed (which is technically the WWF championship).
It's undeniable he was World Champion, it becomes (ironically) disputed at whether you count him winning the WWF title as a reign away from the undisputed title.
Though in terms of this, you're right. I wasn't counting him winning the title, though, just the reign itself.

Yeah, I know. I am talking about the hardware, though. It's just useless trivia, but it's a fact. Right now, three championship belts are in the kayfabe possession of The Miz. Kane might have a claim, but technically, The Hurricane was the rightful holder of one of the tag belts. Big Show has his tag belts.
And yes, it does come down to the Tag Team Championship currently being represented by four belts instead of two. And you are exactly correct about your US Title analogy. But I'm not talking about the "number of titles." I am talking about the number of physical belts.
I would argue this is a little different, because Jericho won both belts seperately in different falls. First against The Rock, and then Austin. He pinned both existing champions and unified the belts himself.

This. You are essentially making the same point, it's just a different way of looking at it. Chris Jericho won the "World Title"/WCW Title from The Rock. This reign is official. Then Chris Jericho defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWE Championship. Now, we know the WWE Championship's lineage is the same as the WWE Title's -- so essentially what we got was the WCW Title ceasing to really exist as an active championship -- even if it still existed as a physical presence on the shows.
Now, you could make the arguement that this happened as soon as Jericho won the WWE Title. But does the WCW Title stop existing first, or does Jericho's reign as WWE Champion begin first? I like to think that by winning the WWE Championship, Chris Jericho THEN earned the right to infuse the WCW Title into the WWE Title. I don't think you consider them three reigns, however. The WWE Title just changed its name for a bit, while the WCW Title just ceased to remain active once Jericho won the WWE Title.
The whole goal of that evening was to make one belt redundant because one man had won both the championships. The same goes for Carlito & Primo when they defeated John Morrison & The Miz at WrestleMania XXV. The WWE Tag Team Championship became redundant when Carlito & Primo won the World Tag Team Championship, but that is because they had won the World Tag Team Championship. Having both titles is the cause and unification is the effect.

As for The Miz: It may sound like a slap in the face to Christian, but I think it would make for interesting TV if The Miz (or even Big Show) challenged Christian for the ECW Title just before the brand disappears, and they win. Miz or Big Show then become known as "The Last ECW Champion," which gives them something to brag about. If The Miz wins, then he holds four belts, a new physical record, as well as a record for most championships at one time. If Big Show does it, then Big Show is on even ground as The Miz, and you can perhaps even do Show-Miz facing off at WrestleMania for the US Title and ECW Title, so that after the PPV, one man is in possession of three championships.

No, Miz only holds two titles, being one-half of the Tag Team Champions and the United States Champion, but...
Yes, Miz is the first person in the history of WWE to ever obtain three belts at once, since the Tag Team Championship currently is four belts, with each champion possessing two belts.
So, there's a difference.

Lets be honest. The unified tag belts are only really one pair of belts now. Been waiting for them to make new belts for a while. I don't think they've ever defended just one pair of belts from the unified championship, have they?
