TheJersey Triad was a triumviratestable active inWorld Championship Wrestling (WCW) from mid-to-late 1999. The group consisted ofDiamond Dallas Page,Chris Kanyon andBam Bam Bigelow. Their name came from the members being billed fromNew Jersey (although Kanyon was actually fromNew York).
Shortly afterSlamboree in May 1999, Diamond Dallas Page formed an alliance with fellow New Jerseyan Bam Bam Bigelow and began feuding withPerry Saturn andRaven for theWCW World Tag Team Championship.
On the May 31, 1999 episode ofNitro, Page and Bigelow sent Raven to the hospital after a severe beating, leaving Saturn alone to defend the Tag Team Titles, which Page and Bigelow won later that night with help fromChris Kanyon replacing Raven in the match however he cost the team the championships after Page pinned him.
Page, Bigelow, and Kanyon became known as the Jersey Triad after Kanyon officially joined them on the June 7, 1999 episode ofNitro, when he turned on Saturn afterChris Benoit and Saturn defeated Page and Bigelow for the titles.
The Triad regained the belts six days later atThe Great American Bash on June 13, 1999, after Kanyon pinned Benoit.
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 theFreebird 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.
On July 11, 1999, atBash at the Beach, the Jersey Triad defeated Benoit and Saturn again to retain their Tag Team Titles.
The team held the titles untilRoad Wild where Kanyon and Bigelow would lose them toHarlem Heat on August 14, 1999. In the same night Chris Benoit defeated Diamond Dallas Page to retain hisWCW United States Championship, despite interference from Kanyon and Bigelow
The group broke up shortly afterFall Brawl in September 1999, after Goldberg pinned Page. Diamond Dallas Page continued feuding with Hogan again, joiningSid Vicious andRick Steiner in a team effort to take on Hogan, Sting, and Goldberg. Soon after that feud ended Page turned into a hero again and feuded with both Kanyon and Bigelow before the year ended. Both Page and Bigelow feuded with Kanyon during his Chris "Champagne" Kanyon gimmick.
Page and Kanyon would reunite as a tag team in theWorld Wrestling Federation (WWF) during theWCW Invasion storyline, as they were both members ofthe Alliance in 2001. The pair held theWWF Tag Team Championshiponce.
