In the late-1990's, the then-World Wrestling Federation started promoting what they called 'Triple Threat' matches. Bouts featuring 3 wrestlers going head-to-head were not a new thing. Promotions such as ECW and even WCW had promoted 'Three Way Dance' efforts before. However, these matches were often elimination based. The 'Triple Threat' encounters were one fall affairs. As the years have rolled on, these matches have become popular in WWE, and now exist regularly across the entire pro wrestling landscape. It's not uncommon to see Triple Threat-style matches in promotions around the world on a regular basis, because they offer an exciting variant to the usual, standard one-on-one title bouts. The idea of 3 people being able to win a championship at any moment, even without the reigning champion being involved in the decision, is very thrilling. There have been numerous amazing Triple Threat clashes over the years, but this list aims to look at 10 of the absolute best. Companies such as the WWF/WWE, WCW and even TNA are explored. These matches are some of the greatest examples of the Triple Threat stipulation done right. Some choices may seem surprising, not because of match quality, but because many fans may have forgotten about these gems. That's a shame in some cases, because each one of these bouts is an instant classic.
