BritFan Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I love a good triple threat when it's done right. What are the best you've seen?

robbo9292 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 not got a best ever, my whole problem with triple threat matches is why are companies starting to forget the No DQ Rule? i loved the no dq rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted June 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 Triple threat matches always leave me waiting for the inevitable spot where someone gets laid out for a period of time so two of the guys can just have a 1 on 1 match for awhile.

FUM Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I absolutely loved Triple H vs Cena vs Edge at Backlash. Doesn't get enough praise for me when these type of threads pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Jericho vs Angle vs Benoit from Mania 2000 was quite good. Â RVD vs Austin vs Angle from No Mercy 01 is a oft forgotten gem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhenom Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Benoit/HHH/HBK from WM 20, Rock/Angle/Undertaker and Austin/Angle/RVD are my favourites that have already been mentioned. But I'm also quite fond of Brock Lesnar/Kurt Angle/Big Show from Vengeance 2003, and the Triple Threat Hardcore match from Wrestlemania 17, Kane/Big Show/Raven.

Forrest Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I would say that Triple Threats are probably my favourite stipulation match ever. They are always good. Hell, Slammiversary had one with Hardy, RVD and Anderson in it and it was still good! Â My 5 favourites: Â 1. Stone Cold vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit - King of the Ring 2001 2. John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Edge - Backlash 2006 3. Johnny Nitro vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Carlito - Vengeance 2006 4. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit (Although I haven't watched it in ages) - Wrestlemania XX 5. John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels - Survivor Series 2009 Â Triple Threats are belters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmcstyles Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I did enjoy this when I first watched it on WWF Raw oh so many year ago and the first ever WWF Triple Threat match for the IC title  Owen Hart © Vs Goldust Vs HHH  Not perfect still a good match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Foale Posted June 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 WrestleMania XX Main Event by an absolute country mile for me. Benoit's epic journey to the title along with HHH and HBK's separate rivalry all going on in the same match told beautifully, and what a perfect ending. Also loved the great announce table spot, Benoit nearly locking HBK in the crossface about 45 seconds in and HBK hitting a spot-on Superkick to Benoit whilst he had HHH in the Sharpshooter. Â Damn, I might have to go watch it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 The WMXX main event is my favourite, with the two Vengeance triple threats (from 2002 & 2003 I think) are next. Especially the Angle/Taker/Rock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted June 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm not fond of either of the Vengeance 3-ways. The Show/Angle/Lesnar one in particular is just a long series of hitting finishers on each other. Complete spotfest. Maybe as close to an ROH main event as WWE have ever put out. One of the first moves of the match is Show hitting Lesnar with a chokeslam, he covers Lesnar and the only thing stopping him from winning the match was Angle breaking up the pin, Lesnar was done for, supposedly. Yet towards the end of the match, Lesnar gets hit with another chokeslam and kicks out at 2! Retarded logic. Â The Wrestlemania and Backlash ones from 2004 would be my picks, along with Edge/Cena/HHH from Backlash 2006, amazing matches. I remember Benoit/Edge/HHH from Raw when the title got vacated as being really good as well, though I haven't seen it since it aired (early 2005?)

Paid Members air_raid Posted June 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 I really don't like Triple Threat matches, the near falls aren't nearly as convincing after the first two or three instances of the third guy breaking it up, and the "third guy having a rest" sections are always too obvious. Â Having said that, there are some crackers. Honestly, my favourite singles matches are the ones that as they progress really convince you that either man is capable of winning, that the two are evenly matched and that it could go either way and both have an equal chance. That's not always easy to pull off one-on-one, and I personally find its close to impossible in one-on-one-on-one. It's rare for me to have a three way where I genuinely buy each man as being a possible victor. Â With that thought in mind, HHH vs Shawn Michaels vs Chris Benoit from Mania XX is in a class of its own. I could see Trips retaining just as much as either challenger beating him and at various points thought each was on the verge of triumph. A truly great match.

Reznor Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Gotta be WMXX, but half the board will probably say that, so for the purposes of contributing something remotely worthwhile, I'll say that I also love the Backlash rematch, and there's a great little forgotten match from Starrcade 1998 between Rey Jr, Juvy and Kidman that springs to mind. I'm a big fan of Raven/Benoit/DDP at uncensored 1998 too. Â Generally speaking, i'm not a great fan of 3-ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
