I know it’s gonna need to be sourced eventually to be on here, but Braun Strowman has won the Universal, Intercontinental, & Raw Tag belts. If the Universal title counts for the Grand Slam (we know WWE says it does), shouldn’t it also count for the Triple Crown? Thus Braun would the 31st person to win it and Drew would be 32nd <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.50.55.142|71.50.55.142]] ([[User talk:71.50.55.142#top|talk]]) 03:11, 7 April 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== The OVW Triple Crown ==
:The WWE needs to confirm it for the Triple Crown, and currently they have not. ([[User:Jacked14]]) 09:07 7 April 2020 (UTC)</small>
SilentRage decided to blank the OVW section, stating "OVW is irrellivant". I applaud him for being bold but I do't feel that blanking a section without discussion is constructive and if there is one thing the TCC talk page is renowned for it's long discussions. I would rather not have to keep reverting so I will state what I think. I have never seen any OVW wrestling, but I know that it breeds a good deal of the current WWE roster, so if OVW by itself is notable and we have pages for all three titles then a table to inform those who have an interest of who has won the three titles should be kept. Maybe it should be moved from the TCC page to the OVW page. But if SilentRage feels that OVW is "irrellivant" then maybe he should find some sources to improve its "rellivance". I slapped an OR tag on it before the AfD debate but that was a flag for others to find sources, not an invite to blank the section. [[User:Darrenhusted|Darrenhusted]] 14:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
::They confirmed the new titles were part of the Grand Slam in 2016, why would it not be the same here? You can’t win a Grand Slam with having a Triple Crown first anyway [[Special:Contributions/71.50.196.52|71.50.196.52]] ([[User talk:71.50.196.52|talk]]) 04:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
:Simply put, OVW isn't a major promotion. If we put OVW, then we'll have to put DSW, and a bunch of other mid-level federations. The list would be way too long. I actually would like to question you on why you would actually think that OVW is on the level of national promotions like WWE or TNA and why you think it is greater than, let's say, DSW or ROH. In fact, I think there was already a discussion and consensus on leaving-out the non-major promotions off the list.

::It is time for someone to talk to WWE or someone close to them about this. We have 2 other people after Strowman becoming Grand Slam Champions and are not recognized as Triple Crown Champions.

== The page says Triple Crown, but is it really. ==
:Hi! everyone. Okay I have a question why does the page say Triple Crown when we only accept WWE and TNA triple Crown records? Why not ECW, WCW, or OVW? What about indy promotions?

On Monday night raw 8/1/22, WWE put that he is a tag team triple crown champion when he was on his way to the ring with the info/name graphic. should this be considered as cannon and make an Individual tag team Triple crown as well as the normal way to get a tag-team triple crown? and if so we would also have to add Jason Jordan as he has held all eligible titles for a tag team triple crown. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKZJOFJOL0k</ref> [[User:Usa409|Usa409]] ([[User talk:Usa409|talk]]) 19:44, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

==Multiple Triple Crowns==
The lead states that there is a ''Multiple Triple Crown''. If so, why aren't the multiple triple crown winners in WWE listed? [[Chris Jericho]], [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]], [[Steve Austin]] and [[Bret Hart]] are each 2-time Triple Crown winners, [[Shawn Michaels]] is a 3-time Triple Crown winner and [[Adam Copeland|Edge]] is an astounding 5-time Triple Crown winner. I think they should be listed.

:Revisiting this. I know TNA has caled Styles a 3 time Triple Crown champion, but I don't see the need to list him multiple times. There have only been 3 triple crown champions, and Styles is already one so he is not a potential triple crown champ. Maybe we could make a note below the table, but that's it. I think (this is my theory only) that TNA started calling Styles that because for a long time he was the only triple crown champ.

== AEW Triple Crown ==
==US Championship title?==
Isn't the [[US Championship]] equal in level to the [[Intercontinental Championship]]? By extension couldn't it be held as a proxy for the Intercontinental Championship, much like the WHC and the WWE titles?
:Long answer: This has been discussed before. It assumed that they are of equal level, but doing so is [[WP:OR|original research]] which is not permitted on Wikipedia. WWE.com has pages that confirm WWE tag titles and WHC as proxies for the World tag and WWE titles, but so for the US title.

:: I definitely don't consider the ECW Title a surrogate for the World Heavyweight or the WWE championships, especially since PWI and other organizations don't recognize it as a world title anymore. The US Championship SHOULD substitute the Intercontinental Title, but until we get clear confirmation, we can't say that it does.

If the ECW Title is not on the same level as the WWE Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship, then why do the winners of the Royal Rumble get to choose between the three titles? Prior to WrestleMania 23, all 3 champions stood in the ring on RAW and Undertaker had to make his decision as to who to challenge at WrestleMania. On WWE.com, you can find this exact paragraph in the Royal Rumble 2008 results page (www.wwe.com/shows/royalrumble/history/2008/matches/5267610321112/results/) "Cena will be looking to capture some gold in the Sunshine State at WrestleMania XXIV … but which champion will he choose to face? Will he go after the WWE Championship – currently held by Randy Orton – and look to regain the title he never lost in the ring from a man who never beat him for it? Or will Cena look to conquer a different mountain and challenge an old foe, World Heavyweight Champion Edge, or a new kingpin, ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero, for a title he has never worn?"
Based on both, it is clear that the WWE now recognizes the ECW Title as an equal belt along the lines of the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship, and thus, it should be on this page as part of the Triple Crown Championship. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jvibe222|Jvibe222]] ([[User talk:Jvibe222|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jvibe222|contribs]]) 23:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

For the table containing the WWE Triple Crown winners, it appears that both the WWF/World Tag Team and WWE/Raw Tag Team title links go to the same page for the new (2024) World Tag Team Titles. Be reminded that the old WWF/WWE World Tag Team titles (1971-2010) do not share the same lineage with the new World Tag Team titles. The new World Tag Team titles have a lineage that traces back to the original WWE Tag Team titles that came out in 2002. That history is tied to those titles. The links should be separate. Clicking on the WWF/World Tag Team titles link in the table should go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE,_1971–2010)
And where is it sourced on here that the WWE specifically came out and stated that the World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championships can compose part of the Triple Crown? Since those aren't sourced, someone obviously assumed they were equal to the WWE Championship and World Tag Team Championships, and decided to put them on here as part of the Triple Crown.

==US & ECW Different Arguement==
I read in a section above that the US & ECW championship were brought over from WCW & ECW. In the same section, someone made the arguement that assuming that the US championship is at the same level as the intercontinental championship is orginal research. Orginal Research is most certainly described as assuming that this ECW championship is the same as the previous one. The ECW championship should be recognized as a world championship, and the US championship should be recognized as a secondary. We don't call the WHC the WCW championship, now then do we?

:The problem with that theory is this, the US Title was once the WCW US Title but WWE places it as a secondary title yes, but states that it isn't part of the Triple Crown. They have always considered the Triple Crown holding either one of the tag and either one of the world titles and the IC title. The ECW Title has also been used the same way and WWE even states it is the same title that was once in ECW, though they don't have the original belt since Rhino has it at the moment. WWE have made no mention of them being apart of the Triple Crown.

I really think the "not possible" designation needs to be removed. It is not "not possible" for Rob Van Dam or Kurt Angle or Booker T to win additional titles in WWE. Just because they aren't currently employed by WWE doesn't mean it's impossible. I can understand keeping people out of the "potential champions" section if they aren't currently with the company, since there's so many of them... but saying that it's "not possible" for any living person to win another title is factually incorrect.

== Definative WWE reference ==

For those seeking to improve the article with better references, the May 2009 issue of WWE Magazine (an official publication) includes a feature on those who have achieved a WWE Triple Crown. In addition to the definitive list of wrestlers, it also answers the question if which titles count towards it. In short, the US title is not currently considered, unlike the IC, WWE, World Heavyweight and both tag titles. However, there is a question for readers as to whether it should be included. So future revision may be neccessary depending on the results of that. Notably, there is absolutely no mention of the ECW title, so it seems to be out if the running completely. Just so everyone knows, and I think the magazine article would make a good reference, as it is verifiable, reliable (by pro wrestling standards) and citable (and print sources are typically considered superior to web ones for their permanance and editorial standards). [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad|talk]]) 01:46, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Just to help your point here is a web link to the statement. http://www.wwe.com/magazine/magazinefeatures/featureoftheweek20090423a/

I checked this link and noticed that it had been updated by WWE to include Rey Mysterio, whereas the print article did not. However, the printed article mentioned Rey as needing only the IC belt which he then won at WM25. I point this out to show that this is a reference that can be checked on periodically to see if the WWE at some point does update the Triple Crown to have the US (and maybe one day the ECW) title to the to list. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Wraith Wolf|Wraith Wolf]] ([[User talk:Wraith Wolf|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wraith Wolf|contribs]]) 16:11, 11 May 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Proposed move ==

[[Triple Crown Championship]] -> [[Triple Crown (wrestling)]]

The current title strikes me as too generic, and ambiguous about which triple crown the article discusses. Concerns over confusion with the AJPW Triple Crown would be covered by the already existing link on the top of the page, and by the fact that the AJPW title has just that in it's title.

Hi. This discussion started in Nick Nemeth's article, but now i asked this here. HHH won the IC title under the gimmick of Hunter Heart Hemsley but he change his gimmick in TV to HHH and he is a Triple Crown Champion. But, if the gimmick wasn¡t changed in TV. For example, imagine thah Glen Jacobs won the WWF title under the Dentist Isaaac gimmick, norunder the Kanes gimmick. He changed his gimmick behind TV and won the TTC and IC. If Jacobs win the title with a gimmick without relation with the gimmick who win the other titles, he is a Triple Crown?

The Freebird Rule specifically states that all members are recognized as Champions, and any two can defend the titles.

WWE did this themselves years ago with Demolition once Crush came on board. Same thing with the Spirit Squad.

All 5 guys were recognized as Champions, and any 2 could defend the belts. Therefore, Ziggler counts.

== ROH triple crown ==

Being that ROH is the 3rd largest US wrestling promotion behind WWE & TNA I think they deserve a section for triple crowns. They currently only have one, Eddie Edwards, who has won the tag title, tv title, and world title.[[Special:Contributions/76.84.241.161|76.84.241.161]] ([[User talk:76.84.241.161|talk]]) 03:31, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
:A Triple Crown or even a Grand Slam championship isnt a atandard accomplishment that all promotions recognize. The only reason WWE and TNA have sections here is because they do recognize such accomplishments. ROH has as of date made no indication that they recognize a Triple Crown championship.<sup>--[[User:3bulletproof16|<font color="blue">'''Unquestionable'''</font>]][[User talk:3bulletproof16|<font color="green">'''Truth'''</font>]]--</sup> 04:18, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

ecw and wcw did aswell so we should add them i have links below and the list i have the tables in my sandbox i also think we should list that wwe does not count completing it twice as far as we know but i think we should list those you have. (for example)Even though WWE does not count completing it more than once Edge has completed it a record five times. Same for grand slam as well as .Jeff hardy has completed the Grand Slam a record three times in a row. i also have ovw and roh if they accept it and those are the titles but anyway i really think we should do those three. list the wcw and ecw and list in the description those who have completed more than once --[[User:Black60dragon|Black60dragon]] ([[User talk:Black60dragon|talk]]) 22:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Here's your source about the ROH Triple Crown:

[http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/march-22nd-newswire ROH Triple Crown]

It's straight from the ROH website, so there should be no problems.

Eddie Edwards is in fact an ROH TC winner.

Thank You.

Here is an article that states ROH would recognize the (now defunct) Pure Championship as a substitute for the TV Title as part of the ROH Triple Crown:

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/columns/misc/bgedgington01.html if its reliable

1.ECW World Heavyweight Championship
2.ECW World Tag Team Championship

so as there are only 3 titles in ecw and whipwreck as won only those three those are what count toward the triple crown as for roh well need to see if they accept triple crowns and ovw and wcw we can find links but the ovw is official for sure and wcw im pretty sure it is as heres the wcw titles
1.WCW World Heavyweight Championship
2.WCW World Tag Team Championship
3.WCW United States Championship

:Dohlph Zigler won the World Heavyweight Championship in February 2011, the Intercontinental Championship in June 2010, His World Tag Team Championship reign came as a result of being a member of the Spirit Squad in April 2006.

Still, everyone says that if its not counted on WWE.com, its not official and Dolph Ziggler isn't in the Triple Crown section

Latest revision as of 22:42, 16 April 2024


Braun Strowman/Universal title

[edit]

I know it’s gonna need to be sourced eventually to be on here, but Braun Strowman has won the Universal, Intercontinental, & Raw Tag belts. If the Universal title counts for the Grand Slam (we know WWE says it does), shouldn’t it also count for the Triple Crown? Thus Braun would the 31st person to win it and Drew would be 32nd — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.50.55.142 (talk) 03:11, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The WWE needs to confirm it for the Triple Crown, and currently they have not. (User:Jacked14) 09:07 7 April 2020 (UTC)
They confirmed the new titles were part of the Grand Slam in 2016, why would it not be the same here? You can’t win a Grand Slam with having a Triple Crown first anyway 71.50.196.52 (talk) 04:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is time for someone to talk to WWE or someone close to them about this. We have 2 other people after Strowman becoming Grand Slam Champions and are not recognized as Triple Crown Champions. The Universal Title (by itself) should be considered a part of it. I know that this title and the WWE Championship are represented by one single belt at the moment. It is time for Strowman, Owens and Balor to be considered Triple Crown Champions now. 2600:4040:9DDB:4100:D851:EC67:EA2:22BA (talk) 17:20, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bret Hart

[edit]

Is it worth mentioning that he's the only wrestler to have held both the WWF and WCW triple crown? And where should this be placed in the article? Romomusicfan (talk) 17:43, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Only? No. First? Yes. 2601:281:D480:2FE4:ED36:D1A0:DAF2:7799 (talk) 12:25, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Knockouts Triple Crown

[edit]

I do believe this should be sufficient to show that Impact has now established a Knockouts Triple Crown with Jordynne Grace as the first winner, having held the Knockouts, Knockouts Tag Team, and now the (intergender) Digital Media Championships. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:32, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah. Let's go Thick Mama Pump — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.40.25.172 (talk) 07:56, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't the Digital Media Championship be considered a part of the Grand Slam for the men? 2600:4040:9DDB:4100:5909:2208:98A0:49B5 (talk) 04:43, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It depends on what TNA decides. 108.21.200.89 (talk) 22:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chad Gable

[edit]

On Monday night raw 8/1/22, WWE put that he is a tag team triple crown champion when he was on his way to the ring with the info/name graphic. should this be considered as cannon and make an Individual tag team Triple crown as well as the normal way to get a tag-team triple crown? and if so we would also have to add Jason Jordan as he has held all eligible titles for a tag team triple crown.

AEW Triple Crown

[edit]

Tony Khan said in the post All Out media scrum (during his solo portion at the end) that Kenny Omega is a triple crown champion for holding the Men’s World, World Tag Team, and World Trios titles BadGirlRyleigh (talk) 07:35, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Omega was again referred to as a Triple Crown winner at All Out by Justin Roberts, as well as being the only one so far BadGirlRyleigh (talk) 01:17, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how that link from a different subject got added to mine BadGirlRyleigh (talk) 07:36, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Excalibur also mentioned it on commentary during the 8 February episode of Dynamite (can you tell who's a few months behind on their DVR? :D ) Anonymous Contributor 012786 (talk) 17:18, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently references within the promotion's actual continuity aren't good enough for (Personal attack removed) Wikipedia. Whatever. Anonymous Contributor 012786 (talk) 22:05, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’m glad to see Kenny was finally added, but the section should be similar to ROH’s where it has World and then Secondary titles including TNT and International as that’s clearly how Tony Khan is handling Triple Crowns for either company. World plus any two of the others. 98.55.1.77 (talk) 22:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it is so clear, then it must have reliable sources. Eddie Kingston being a Triple Crown champion is more prominent over Kenny Omega. BinaryBrainBug (talk) 11:46, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a different meaning if "triple crown". Eddie's triple crown is about holding three titles at once, whereas Kenny's is about a career achievement of holding a certain set of titles across the years. oknazevad (talk) 13:14, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. Not to mention Eddie isn’t a Triple Crown champion, he’s explicitly the Continental Crown Champion. 2601:281:D480:2FE4:5439:BE8:E5DB:C27E (talk) 05:40, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cannot find a reliable source for Omega. Besides, the lead section needs some clarification, as it states "specifically, a world championship, another singles championship, and a tag team championship.", which ROH and now AEW doesn't seem to follow. BinaryBrainBug (talk) 21:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This has not been defined. The only definite path to the Triple Crown is World/Tag/Trios. With ROH they are just being consistent with the previous rules of the company’s triple crown/grand slam BadGirlRyleigh (talk) 20:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NWA Triple Crown

[edit]

Kenzie Paige is apparently the first NWA Triple Crown winner (female or otherwise) for winning the Women’s World, Women’s TV, and Women’s Tag titles. This has been reflected on their website and on instagram, so she and by default the (modern) NWA should be added. 98.55.1.77 (talk) 22:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Cody Rhodes

[edit]

Cody is now a Triple Crown Champion since he won the WWE Championship at WM40. He already held the IC Championship and has held the Raw/SmackDown Tag Titles & the World Tag Team Championship in the past 2601:806:C300:3140:48C2:BC90:CCF2:5A5 (talk) 02:58, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

For the table containing the WWE Triple Crown winners, it appears that both the WWF/World Tag Team and WWE/Raw Tag Team title links go to the same page for the new (2024) World Tag Team Titles. Be reminded that the old WWF/WWE World Tag Team titles (1971-2010) do not share the same lineage with the new World Tag Team titles. The new World Tag Team titles have a lineage that traces back to the original WWE Tag Team titles that came out in 2002. That history is tied to those titles. The links should be separate. Clicking on the WWF/World Tag Team titles link in the table should go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE,_1971–2010) while clicking on the WWE/Raw Tag Team titles link in the table should go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE) 108.21.200.89 (talk) 15:27, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
