Rey de Reyes (2017)

 * ... that at the 2017 Rey de Reyes professional wrestler Johnny Mundo became a triple champion, holding the AAA Mega, Cruiserweight and Latin American Championships?
 * Reviewed: Brockmire
 * Comment: He is the first ever Triple Champion but the sources don't outright state. The articles for each championship prove it but no source state it as such, so I scaled the claim back. Source is in Spanish but has the "Triple Monarca" claim in the title (monarca is the term used for champion)

 * Symbol question.svg I have a couple of questions. Is the "Triple Champion" in AAA similar to the Triple Crown? In that article, it seems that the AAA isn't listed there, so it seems that this achievement is not recognized (yet?). Either way, Johnny Nitro was still named as having won "triple monarch" ("monarca" actually translates to "monarch" in Spanish), so it makes sense that the best translation for this achievement is the "Triple Crown". Also, it seems that this is a "champion vs. champion vs. champion" match, which I guess makes "triple champion" makes sense, as Seth Rollins was a "double champion" when he won both the U.S. and WWE titles in one night. I would like to see references though that the AAA Triple Crown exists/is recognized, or even subsequent broadcasts where the term "triple champion" (or equivalent) has been used. If you can't find one, perhaps we can just say that he has won three titles in AAA without using terms such as "triple champion" or "triple crown".
 * Finally, a made a minor edit on the blurb. Length, referencing, newness are okay, and it seems that no policy was violated in this article. – H T  D  19:31, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * - So it's tricky, because AAA has never called it "Triple Crown" and thus not officially a "Triple Crown", I intentionally avoided that term. So he is a "triple champion" since he holds three championships all at once, but beyond that I have no sources.  MPJ  -DK 19:50, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you have an idea how he is being called on TV? Is he being introduced as a "triple champion"? – H T  D  20:09, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what they'll call him on TV, the next show has not been taped yet. I am confused, "triple champion" simply refers to him having three championships, it's a general, generic term - "Triple Crown" champion etc. are specific terms that would need a source, "triple champion" simply refers to the number of champions, so that will always be true no matter what AAA choses to call him on their shows, so I am a little confused.

 * I've came across with "double champion" before, so logically, the next step is a "triple champion", but I still have to come across usage of that term, that's why I'm looking for sources. Perhaps we can use the term "triple monarca" as that was the one that was used by the reference. – H T  D  02:53, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, I appreciate the due dilligence on the term, I want to avoid this being questioned in any way myself so I totally get it. 1) "Triple Monarca" is best translated to "triple champion", it's not a litteral translation but "monarca" often refers to champions when covering lucha libre, so I see this simply as a translation. 1) English language source reporting on results says "triple champion" , Spanish language source using the term "tricampeón. Two examples that suppor the term "Triple champion".  MPJ  -DK 03:09, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * What pro wresting websites pass WP:RS? This uses the term "triple champion". If a WP:RS uses the term, I'd go with it. – H T  D  03:32, 27 March 2017 (UTC)


 * - I've given examples of where the term "triple champion" is used in both English and Spanish, do we really need more proof that "three = triple"? Just look at the wiki page for Triple = "Threefold", or the dictionary.com definition of Triple "a group, set, or series of three", googling "Triple" = "consisting of or involving three parts, things, or people." and give the example "a triple murder". Do you expect an article covering the murder of three people to provide a Reliable Source that it was called a "triple murder" before it can state that "three = triple"?  MPJ  -DK 06:15, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * We'd need a source that explicitly states that Johnny Mundo was a "triple champion" in the article per se. You can use the 411mania.com source that you've used as that presumably passes WP:RS, pending someone else challenges that website's reliability. – H T  D  09:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Added and since it sources a match result and nothing "contentious" I'm pretty sure it is reliable enough to cover that holding three championships at the same time makes you a "triple champion" so I think we're okay now.  MPJ  -DK 21:34, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
