History

First incarnation

The original Triple Threat consisted of Shane Douglas, Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko in ECW. Troy Shane Martin (born November 21 1964) is an American professional wrestler and promoter, better known by his Ring name Christopher Michael Benoit (bə'nwɑ (May 21 1967—June 24 2007 was a Canadian professional wrestler who in 2007 received extensive media coverage as a Dean Simon (born August 4 1960 World Wrestling Entertainment was previously known as World Wrestling Federation (WWF At one point they dominated ECW, as Douglas was ECW World Heavyweight Champion, and Benoit and Malenko were ECW Tag Team Champions. Malenko also became a two-time ECW Television Champion. The group developed a hand signal -- the three outer fingers raised with palms facing outward.

During the summer of 1995, Douglas left for the WWF, thus disbanding the Triple Threat. However, for a brief time 2 Cold Scorpio was added as a member of the Triple Threat (at least one episode of ECW TV had Scorpio, Benoit, and Malenko cutting a promo together stating they were the Triple Threat). Charles "Charlie" Scaggs During his simultaneous reign as Television and Tag Team Champion he insisted on being referred to as 2 Gold Scorpio. In Professional wrestling, a promo is short for "promotional interview" a dialogue or monologue used to advance a storyline.

Nevertheless, when Benoit and Malenko left for WCW, the Triple Threat ceased to exist until Douglas returned to ECW. During their time in World Championship Wrestling, Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko were both members of the prominent Four Horsemen stable and often teamed together. The Four Horsemen (also spelt IV Horsemen) was a popular Professional wrestling stable in the National Wrestling Alliance and later World

Second incarnation

In late 1996, approximately a year after his return to ECW, Douglas reformed the stable with Chris Candido and "Bulldozer" Brian Lee, and Francine as their manager. Christopher Candito ( March 21 1972 &ndash April 28 2005) On November 19, 1994, Candido won a 10-man tournament defeating Brian Lee (born November 26, 1966) is a semi-retired American professional wrestler. Francine Fournier (born February 19 1972) known simply as Francine is a former American Professional wrestling valet most Douglas held the ECW Television Championship, but sought to regain the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. The ECW World Television Championship was the secondary title in Extreme Championship Wrestling from 1992 until it folded in 2001 In early 1997 a masked man, who displayed the mannerisms of Rick Rude, began stalking Francine. Richard E Rood ( December 7 1958 – April 20 1999) better known by his Ring name "Ravishing" At ECW's first pay-per-view event, ECW Barely Legal, the man was revealed to be Brian Lee, who was kicked out of the Triple Threat for betraying Douglas. Barely Legal was the first Professional wrestling Pay-per-view event held by Extreme Championship Wrestling.

Bam Bam Bigelow joined the group shortly after. Scott Charles Bigelow ( September 1 1961 &ndash January 19 2007) was an American professional wrestler, best known Douglas lost the TV title to Taz, but won the ECW World Heavyweight title at Hardcore Heaven '97. Peter Senerchia (born October 11 1967) is an American retired professional wrestler and current Color commentator best known Bigelow then challenged Douglas for the title and won, but forfeited his membership in the group in the process. Lance Storm took his place. Lance Timothy Evers (born April 3 1969 known professionally by his Ring name Lance Storm, is a retired Canadian professional wrestler. It was short-lived, however, as Storm and Candido did not get along and Storm was kicked out. Eventually, Bigelow returned and replaced Storm.

Taz began a protracted feud with the entire stable, as he wanted a shot at Douglas' World title but was repeatedly denied, being forced to wrestle matches against the other members of the Triple Threat. His frustration led to his creation of the Fuck The World Heavyweight Championship in defiance. The Extreme Championship Wrestling FTW (Fuck The World Heavyweight Championship (also referred to as the Brooklyn

Another angle had Candido and Storm winning the ECW Tag Team Championship together, and were forced to defend it despite their hatred for one another. During their reluctant title defenses, each man tried to one-up the other, and showed more concern for retaining the gold than for their partner's well-being.

For a brief time in 1998, once again every member of the group had ECW gold, with Douglas holding the World Heavyweight Championship, Bigelow holding the TV Championship, and Candido holding one half of the Tag Championship with ex-member Lance Storm. The ECW World Television Championship was the secondary title in Extreme Championship Wrestling from 1992 until it folded in 2001 The Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW World Tag Team Championship was the Tag team championship contested in Eastern Championship Wrestling and Extreme The group disbanded completely after Bigelow left for WCW, and Candido and Douglas went their separate ways after Douglas lost the ECW Title to Taz at ECW Guilty as Charged 1999.

In WCW

In 1999, another group was formed in World Championship Wrestling, which consisted of Douglas, Benoit, Malenko, Perry Saturn and Asya, called The Revolution. Perrieve Spencer Satullo (born October 25 1966) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his Ring name, Perry The Revolution was a Professional wrestling heel stable in World Championship Wrestling led by Shane Douglas.

In 2000, Douglas, Candido and Bigelow were briefly reunited in a group together in WCW, but did not use the name Triple Threat. They did, however, use everything else about the group. It was disbanded shortly after, starting when Candido left WCW.
