Calling six man tags "Trios" OUTSIDE the context of Lucha

[David Mantell]

WTF? 

How long has this trendy behaviour been going on and who started it?

[Ma Stump Puller]

Blame Quackenbush, it got popular in Chikara.

I imagine it also became something to not have to engender it with “6-man”. “Men’s trios” or “women’s trios” and the like.

This, and also AEW made it popular since TK is obviously a lucha fan. Funny enough, they still call the ROH titles "six man".

It was Triple Tag in British Wrestling (so that's the name I grew up with) and Catch A Six in French Catch.

Ah yes. That silly masked commentator. I might have known.

People got by just gendering it as appropriate.

You can probably blame Mike Tenay for popularizing the phrase on this side of the Rio Grande.
