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.

TK is Tony Khan who owns the promotion.

Excalibur is the masked commentator, and he is really quite good. But since you just like to spout off Cornette talking points when it comes to AEW, you'll never be convinced of that.

I don't think Khan himself popularised it, but Excalibur saying it and it catching on with their viewers makes sense.

To be honest it's a pet peeve of mine when people do that, and I avoid doing it, but its also ultimately harmless I guess.

Harmless yeah. Just aggravating.
