Am I the only person who hates triple threat matches?

[charknicks]

I actually dont hate triple threats, if they are done well. They are usually pretty good matches. More action while one of the 3 is down for a minute.

Also, I dont know what you want the 'E to do at Mania. Alot of people deserve to be on the card, so its a way to fit in a few more people and have them get their Mania paydays. And, every big 1-1 match doesnt need to be at Mania. Some would be overshadowed by matches like Cena/Rhodes. If they have the Womens Title 3 way, some matches like Bianca/Rhea need to be saved for Summer Slam/ Survivor Series.

I hate when somebody just inserts someone into a main event

I find most of them to pretty pointless, but once every blue moon, one will surprise.

- DDP vs. Raven vs. Some a$$hole
- The Hardyz vs. E&C vs. The Dudleyz (Summerslam 2000)
- Brock vs. Cena vs. Seth
- Charlotte vs. Becky vs. Sasha
- HHH vs. HBK vs. Some a$$hole
- The Undertaker vs. Rock vs. Kurt Angle

This. The way companies use Triple Threats now is too predictable plus you get the repeated "the champ doesn't have to be pinned to lose their title" references during the match.

At some point, I'd like to see a champion come and say that that's bullshyt, and you have to beat ME to get the title. Sure, you can pin or submit the other guy and win the match, but you don't win the championship. Lot of fukkery finishes you could get from that I think...

They can be good, it depends on how they are booked. If it's one where a guy disappears and two guys wrestle and then another disappears, it sucks. It has to be all three people involved at the same time over the course of the entire match.

Also, I don't like triple threats in big title matches with rare exceptions. One of the rare exceptions was HBK/HHH/Benoit

3 way dance >>>> triple threat > almost any other stipulation > fatal 4 way


I fukkin hate fatal four way

Instead of Hogan Warrior at Mania 6, it’s Hogan vs Warrior vs Mr Perfect vs Rick Rude lol

They did 60k for Hogan vs Orndorff house show in Toronto and 93k for Hogan vs Andre at the silverdome but I bet Hogan vs Orndorff vs Andre would have done worse than either. It’s very hard to write a compelling 3 way storyline and most wrestling writing doesn’t try

Tanaka vs Awesome vs Taz

I don't have a problem with triple threat matches as long as there's a purpose. Like Orton/Triple H/Cena at WrestleMania XXIV (one of my favorite triple threats). Pretty sure the plan was for Cena to face Triple H that year before he got hurt, then Orton took his place. Then Cena came back earlier than expected, so they had to find a way to keep Triple H in the title match while also accommodating Cena. The way they did it made sense and ensured that nobody got left out. It also gave us a match we've never seen before.

They knew that Rhea/Bianca was a big-time match and they wanted to build it up as much as they could before it happened. The fact that they're openly acknowledging it lets me know they're going to get to it, whether it's SummerSlam or next year's Mania. At the same time, Iyo has been in the mix for a while and she's hot right now, so they wanted to capitalize on it. It probably won't be the main event, but it will still be one of the best matches on the card.

Punk/Rollins/Reigns may or may not happen. If it does, they're going to need to put a stipulation on it, like the winner gets added to the WWE Championship match the next night. If it doesn't, they'll have Rollins/Reigns and Punk will probably get into the WWE Championship match some other way. A triple threat with no prize is weird, and I doubt they go another year without putting Punk in the main event, so this is the only way to make it happen.

They shouldn't sully heel Cena vs. Cody by adding another guy to the match.

I'm not sure how they get to Punk/Rollins/Reigns but they better leave Cena/Cody alone. That's the money match.
