They should've stayed a trio forever. Once they added The Giant it just became a confusing mess. Staying a trio would have been preferable to the mess it ended up being, but some of the members made sense. No one apart from: Hogan Hall Nash Savage Syxx Bagwell Steiner Hennig (with Rude) Should have ever joined NWO. I guess you could make a case for Jarrett too. Please explain Bagwell and Steiner. And add DiBiase.

Waiting for the "SHEILD IS OVERRATED AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER EXISTED" comments. But yeah id say the shield is the best. I loved most of their run. I don't think I've ever seen or heard that be said. Ever.

Yeah I'd have to go with the Shield.
It seems so weird saying they were the best trio because it only happened a year or so ago but they honestly were.

The 3 most talented wrestlers to come out of FMW The Boogeyman (not to be confused with WWE's boogeyman), Freddy Krueger, and Crypt Keeper.

And add DiBiase. They needed an up and comer to benefit from being associated with all the stars, Bagwell was perfect. Steiner fit the NWO really well, he was one of the only good things about the NWO in later years.

I really dont understand how The Shield can even be mentioned. They're all great talents and seperately they've done great stuff but as a unit? They were the definition of mediocre. You gave 1 guy the US Title which he rarely defended it and the other two were tag champs at one of the lowest points in the industry for tag teams.
Freebirds and Von Erichs are hands down the top 2 names because they revolutionized 6 man tag wrestling. Im discrediting teams like Hardys cause they were simply a tag team with a manager. If you were to include managers then Road Warriors and Ellering would be #1 and Cornette and the Midnight Express would be a close 2nd

But the Shield stuff is blasphemy. Yea, Dean Ambrose's US Title run was crap but that was more the booking's fault than his. As for the Tag Team Titles, even if the division was stacked they more than likely would have won the belts because they were one of the most over acts in the company. They consistently stole the show with excellent six man tag matches. Whether it was classics against Evolution or the Wyatt Family, or against thrown together teams, they never failed to deliver. Again, saying those other trios are ahead of them is totally fine, but to say the SHield should not even be mentioned is absurd to me.

im really happy to see so many mention the freebirds and von erichs. seriously, in dallas they're still talked about today. most old heads around here that ive mentioned wrestling to always reply with something about them, not anything like "oh what stone cold did". they were both great trios and they've carved a legacy of their own worldwide, not just locally.
i agree with a lot of what you have said, but if i had to narrow it down i would list these trios:
1. the freebirds 2. nwo 3. von erichs 4. dx 5. the shield
id like to mention the 3-count/jung dragons feud because it was just so entertaining but there wasn't enough room on the list.
