10 Wrestlers Who Are Triple Crown Champions In Multiple Promotions

Having the opportunity to win one championship in a major wrestling promotion is impressive, but there are some wrestlers who will not settle for just one. To become a Triple Crown Champion in professional wrestling, a wrestler needs to win every available championship during their tenure. For WWE, that means having a run as a World, Tag Team and either the Intercontinental or United States Champion. While different promotions have different championships, the thought remains the same - win them all, and be called a Triple Crown wrestler.

While this feat is impressive to accomplish in one company, only some have been able to do so in multiple promotions. With wrestlers moving from WWE to WCW, Impact Wrestling and Ring of Honor, the opportunity to accomplish this feat is harder than ever, but the best of the best have been able to do it over the years.

10 Ric Flair - WCW & WWE

As someone who is widely considered to be one of the greatest wrestlers in history, it is only fitting that Ric Flair is at the top of this list. With storied careers in the NWA, WCW, and WWE, Flair is among the most respected professional wrestlers of all time. As someone who has won just about every championship he has ever competed for, the final years of his WWE career where he became Tag Team and Intercontinental Champion etched him once again in the history books.

9 Rob Van Dam - ECW & WWE

Few wrestlers were able to win the ECW Triple Crown during their run with the company. But, as someone who is considered to be one of the best home-grown talents for the company, Rob Van Dam was able to achieve the feat in the land of the Extreme and in WWE.

Following The Invasion storyline in 2001, few non-WWE wrestlers were able to reach the level of success that RVD did. In fact, he is the only long-term ECW wrestler who would go on to win the WWE Championship following The Invasion.

8 Bret Hart - WCW & WWE

Bret Hart's defection to WCW in 1997 came after a storied career in WWE where he was able to win every active championship. While the circumstances around his departure are what most fans remember, others recall that he actually had a great career in WCW prior to its unfortunate end. Bret was able to win his way through the Tag Team, United States and World Heavyweight championships in quick succession before he retired from in-ring competition in 2000.

7 Seth Rollins - FCW & WWE

Prior to becoming The Architect or The Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins was the King of Florida Championship Wrestling. The long-time WWE developmental territory before NXT was created, FCW was home to some of WWE's biggest faces on today's roster.

However, Seth was one of the most accomplished of them all as he is only two FCW Triple Crown winners, with the other being Richie Steamboat.

6 CM Punk - OVW & WWE

Although he distances himself from professional wrestling now, there is no denying that CM Punk has etched himself all over WWE's history books, whether they like it or not. Punk moved quickly through the ranks in WWE, before landing on the Intercontinental Championship, which was less than a year from when he won his first eligible championship towards the Triple Crown. Before that, he was in WWE's developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling, for a year, and was able to breeze through those championships as well.

5 Booker T - WCW & WWE

As another new face to WWE following The Invasion in 2001, Booker T had his work cut out for him as a former WCW wrestler. Thankfully, he overcame the odds that many of his fellow WCW wrestlers could not and went on to have a storied career in WWE alongside his legendary time in WCW, where he won every available championship in both companies (including a short run as WWE Hardcore Champion!).

4 Kassius Ohno - CZW & wXw

Kassius Ohno's two stints in NXT have unfortunately amounted to very little in terms of championship wins, as he is seen as more of a "'gatekeeper" for new talent. However, prior to singing with WWE, Ohno was known as Chris Hero and was one of the more well-traveled independent wrestlers in the world.

With championships wins on multiple continents - including Triple Crown wins for Combat Zone Wrestling in the US and Westside Xtreme Wrestling in Germany. Hopefully, Ohno will be able to replicate the success of his independent days in WWE someday.

3 Bret Hart - Stampede & WWE

Out of all the wrestlers on WWE's roster, it is fully possible that Bret Hart is the only one in history to achieve Triple Crown status in three different promotions. While Stampede Wrestling is no longer active on the scale it was during Bret's heyday, it has storied roots in Canadian professional wrestling. As the son of the legendary Stu Hart, Bret was a mainstay in the Calgary promotion for many years and was on the top of the card multiple times throughout his career before joining WWE in the 1980s.

2 Kurt Angle - Impact & WWE

Kurt Angle's rookie year in WWE is one of the most impressive in history, as he was able to win his singles championships quickly before becoming WWE Champion towards the end of his first year. Then following an impressive run on Smackdown in 2002, he was able to conquer the Tag Team division. Thankfully, Kurt did not stop there and wound up as one of the cornerstones of Impact Wrestling for almost 10 years, was able to do the exact same thing in that promotion in quick succession too.

1 Chris Benoit - WCW & WWE

Despite the tragedy and horror surrounding his last days, Chris Benoit was an accomplished wrestler in both WCW and WWE. As one of the few men who held both World Championships during his career, Benoit has the distinction of being a Triple Crown wrestler for both major promotions in America. Benoit was able to work through the ranks in both WCW and WWE, but is not going to mentioned in the official history books any time soon.
