[edit] History

Not long after Page and Bigelow lost their WCW World Tag Team Championship to Chris Benoit and Perry Saturn, Page would bring Kanyon into the team to form the Triad. Kanyon and Page would quickly go on to recapture to the tag titles from Benoit and Saturn with a little help from Bigelow.

[edit] "Freebird Rule"

Due to an affiliation with then "WCW President for Life" Ric Flair, the Triad was permitted to defend these titles in any way possible using the Freebird Rule- any two of the three wrestlers could defend the tag team titles at any time. This even saw the Triad switching members during a title defense, the rule being one member had to be on the floor at all times.

[edit] Break Up

The team broke up by the end of 1999 when Page feuded with Kanyon.

[edit] Reunion

Page and Kanyon would get back together during the Alliance storyline of 2001 and the two would defeat the APA to win the WWF Tag Team Championship but would lose them at SummerSlam 2001 to Kane and The Undertaker in a Steel cage match.
