Meltzer just confirmed that Col. DeBeers (Ed Wiskoski) has passed away.

He just turned 80 a few weeks ago.

Offensive and a botched promo all in one

This is super fun, but I won't lie and say that I'm shocked six-man tags were a thing in 1956. When was the first one?

Trios: The Rise, Fall and Rise of 6-Man Tag Team Titles

With a rise in 6-Man Tag Team titles globally (NJPW, Ring of Honor, Lucha Underground, AAA, etc.), is it time for the WWE to introduce one as well? A brief look at the history of 6-man titles, and a look at who the WWE would have to offer the division (with a few wishful thinkings).

The NWA crowned the very first NWA World Six Man Tag Team Champions back in 1955, when future NWA World Heavyweight Champion Pat O’Connor teamed with Roy McClarity and Yukon Eric to defeat The Crusher, Art Neilsen and Don Leo Jonathan. It was only five years after the first Tag Team Champions crowned in NWA San Francisco, so it’s been a concept and championship held in the United States since wrestling’s Golden Era.

Fun to see Nick Gulas had a six man title for several years. George was 12 time co-champ.
