I know this thread is about just VGCW, but it's still notable to point out that the network's third triple crown (after Koopa and Ganon) just went to Terra yesterday, as she has now held the WVGCW main title, tag team titles, and linear title. Also notable is that she can become the first grand slam champion on the network if she defends the linear title enough to get a Casualette title shot.

Another thing Doom pointed out a while ago that I find pretty funny is that every title between VGCW and WVGCW has been held by a Final Fantasy VI character except for the Casualette title. So if Terra wins she'll also complete the FFVI, uh, whatever the word for "champion of seven different titles" is.

Last I checked, the Linear Title didn't count towards Triple Crown status. But if I'm mistaken and it does, gg Terra.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

John Cena is not recognized as a Triple Crown Champion because the U.S. Title is a tertiary title which means he's only won a world title, tertiary title, and tag titles. It needs to be world title, secondary (the Intercontinental Championship), and tag titles.

So in WVGCW terms, Terra has won a world title, tag titles, and essentially the tertiary title.

I think Doom or Notty even outright said that the Linear Championship is not a true championship. Terra would need to win the Casualette Title to have a Triple Crown.

I'm glad Terra is considered a triple crown, she could have waited to get a chance to win the casuallette title on her own merit but her getting the belt below it in value confirms her merit as a wrestler. I'd hot shot my favorite wrestler too.

Hey now, it's not like Terra's other accomplishments are bad.......well, except for that whole "win title with a Glitch Bomb, after vacating title get an immediate rematch anyway, don't even pin Ivy to win the belt back, lose in first defense" thing.......or that "Lucina and Shantae was the team that actually won the belts and she gets made champion alongside them because she's their friend" thing.......hmm, you might have a point.

Terra's a good wrestler, but both of her previous qualifiers for having the Triple Crown explicitly came from creative's decision to basically award her a belt for free. So if she's now a Triple Crown holder "because I say so", well, I guess it's kinda fitting with the rest of her career, isn't it?

Terra was there when they beat the witches in the tag tourney and she was there to defend the titles both with Lucina against Steak Machina and with Shantae against Jet set so you're wrong there, she worked just as hard as the others when it came to that tag title.

But no, it was """""""""""handed"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" to her.

Say Poison decided to show up, hang out with Jinx and Videl, and suddenly be added to their gang. She takes Videl's spot against Bravely Second and helps Jinx retain the belt. Would you count Poison as a triple crown holder then?

Yes Terra did well in her title matches, but she wasn't there when Lucina and Shantae actually fought and won the belts off Still Alive. She was a good champion, but she didn't win to become champion, which is honestly the most important part about the Triple Crown: actually winning the belt.

they were always a stable though, so its not the same thing at all.

You are pretty much saying that free birding cant be a thing.

Also Terra isnt triple crown, ES JOKE.

Nah not saying free birding isn't allowed, her title reign was legit and she was indeed a Tag Team Champion. However, in terms of recognizing Terra's status as a Triple Crown holder, you've got to include several asterisks next to her candidacy.

Here's the rules that Fella laid down:

Fella
 
-People who are currently active are in normal text. Inactive people have their names italicized
-A person must have won at least two of the titles needed to be on this list
-Titles missing are listed as "Needed" in red and the date they won a title will be listed (or the first time they won it, if they have multiple reigns)
-Once the Triple Crown is won, the date they won the title needed to complete the Triple Crown will be colored green and their name will be colored yellow
-If a belt is unified or retired, any future Triple Crowns needed with it are unobtainable and color orange


"Must have won" is the key part for me. Terra didn't actually win the tag titles. Shantae and Lucina did.
