Back in 2018, I drafted a list of seven wrestlers that were on the cusp of becoming the first WrestleZone Triple Crown winner.
The modern triple crown has yet to be achieved in WrestleZone, winning all active titles in a company puts any wrestler in the upper echelon in that promotions history.
Many wrestlers have held two out of three active championships in WrestleZone.
What is the Modern Triple Crown?
Modern Triple Crown Qualifications:
- Undisputed WrestleZone Championship
- WrestleZone Tri-Counties Championship
- WrestleZone Tag Team Championship
Original Triple Crown
Two wrestlers have completed a triple crown in WrestleZone, from 2008-2011 there were three active championships in the promotion. The Heavyweight and No Limits Championships were merged on 26th February 2011 when then-Heavyweight Champion Damien defeated then-No Limits Champion Scotty Swift.
| WrestleZone Heavyweight Championship | WrestleZone No Limits Championship | WrestleZone Tag Team Championships | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damien | 20th November 2010 | 26th February 2011 | 8th May 2009 with Mikey Morris |
| Scotty Swift | 25th February 2009 | 27th March 2010 | 10th August 2013 with Jay Lethal |
From 2011-2017 there were only two active championships in WrestleZone until the Tri-Counties Championship was introduced with Aspen Faith becoming the inaugural champion at Aberdeen Anarchy 2017. This reactivated the Triple Crown being a possible achievement in the North East.
Since I made that list in 2018, the potential first modern Triple Crown winners has increased from seven to thirteen which means 2022 has an even higher chance of this accolade occurring.
Along with the potential of thirteen triple crown winners in the near future, six wrestlers could achieve a Grand Slam when we include a Regal Rumble win.
When you look down the list, you can make arguments for any of these men to capture the last title required which makes this even more interesting, at least in my mind.
| Undisputed WrestleZone Championship | WrestleZone Tri-Counties Championship | WrestleZone Tag Team Championships | Bonus: Regal Rumble (Grand Slam) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alan Sterling | 7th December 2019 | 24th May 2008 with William Sterling | ||
| Andy Wild | 29th October 2016 | 24th March 2018 | ||
| Aspen Faith | 17th June 2017 | 13th July 2013 with James Midas | 2022 (co-winner) | |
| Bryan Tucker | 28th January 2012 | 30th June 2012 with Shawn Johnson | 2011 | |
| Chris Archer | 9th October 2021 | 14th November 2015 with Mikkey Vago | ||
| Crusher Craib (retired) | 1st June 2013 | 15th February 2020 with Connor Molloy | 2012 | |
| Damien | 26th February 2011 | 8th May 2009 with Mikey Morris | ||
| Johnny Lions | 26th Janaury 2013 | 30th August 2014 with Damien | ||
| Mikkey Vago | 17th September 2022 | 14th November 2015 with Chris Archer | ||
| Mr P | 8th December 2018 | 22nd August 2015 with Kaden Garrick | ||
| Scotty Swift | 23rd May 2015 | 10th August 2013 with Jay Lethal | 2015 | |
| Shawn Johnson | 17th June 2017 | 30th June 2012 with Bryan Tucker | 2017 | |
| Zach Dynamite | 14th May 2022 | 11th November 2017 | 2022 (co-winner) |
On Saturday, December 3rd, Aspen Faith has the opportunity to not only achieve the Triple Crown but also the Grand Slam when he steps into the steel cage at Christmas Chaos against Undisputed WrestleZone Champion Zach Dynamite and former champion Damien.
Who do you think will be the first modern WrestleZone Triple Crown winner?
