->'' '''"WE'RE A THREE-MAN BAAAAAAAND!!!"'' '''

3MB was a {{heel}} {{professional wrestling}} stable in WWE, consisting of Wrestling/JinderMahal, Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre, and Wrestling/HeathSlater. It was formed on the September 21, 2012 episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'', when [=McIntyre=] and Mahal saved Slater from a match against Wrestling/BrodusClay. Wrestling/{{Hornswoggle}} joined the team in 2014. The team dissolved in 2014 after [=McIntyre=] and Mahal were released.

In August 2016 and April 2017 respectively, Mahal and [=McIntyre=] came back to the company, and both would become WWE Champions during their second tenure with the company.

-----
!! "More tropes than one!":
* AirGuitar: Practically their signature pose.
* ArchEnemy: Los Matodores.
* BeardOfEvil: Jinder, Drew and Hornswoggle.
* BullyingADragon:
** Or at least bullying a dragon's ring announcer and his only friend and wrecking another dragon's set and attacking him too. 3MB got the ''[[SarcasmMode bright]]'' idea of challenging Wrestling/TheMiz and Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio to a three-on-three tag team match after the two promptly beat the hell out of them for pissing them off...forgetting that both are not only highly decorated wrestlers, but also ''former world champions''.
** Then there was the aforementioned calling out Wrestling/TheShield, who would've undoubtedly kicked their asses had they actually come out. Instead, they got Wrestling/BrockLesnar, who was undeniably worse.
* ButtMonkey: All three.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown:
** In the November 11, 2013 episode of ''Raw'', which takes place in Manchester, England, they come out as "The Union Jacks," basically trading in their black leather tights and jackets for [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead tights and jackets emblazoned with the Union Jack.]] They lost. They did win on the November 13, 2013 episode on ''Main Event'' however, also overseas, but then they lost on the November 15, 2013 episode of ''[=SmackDown=]'', and since this ends the European Tour, the "Union Jacks" will more than likely end with a 1-2 Record.
** They've also made appearances as "The Rhinestone Cowboys" in Nashville, "The Fabulous 3Birds," and "The Plymouth Rockers."
* TheChewToy: They tend to get attacked by other heels.
* TheComicallySerious: Jinder's role as "the fun one" in the 3MB.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: This PluckyComicRelief TerribleTrio produced two future WWE World Champions in Jinder and (especially) Drew.
* CurbStompBattle: On an episode of ''Raw'', 3MB tried to call out Wrestling/TheShield, which probably wouldn't have ended well. Instead, they got Wrestling/BrockLesnar, which ended ''worse'' - especially for poor Heath Slater.
* CultureEqualsCostume: Jinder wears the Sikh version of a turban to the ring.
* EvilRedhead: Slater during the group's heel run, since he's a redhead. This had famously led him to be called by Wrestling/JohnCena (back when Slater was in the PowerStable Wrestling/TheNexus, with whom Cena feuded with) "That Chick From Wendy's", after the American fast food restaurant chain that features a redheaded girl on its logo.
* EvilerThanThou: On the receiving end of this, as their attempt to jump Triple H resulted in them getting beaten down by The Shield before they made their own run against Triple H. The following week, 3MB calling out The Shield resulted in Wrestling/BrockLesnar demolishing the three of them.
* FieryRedhead: Slater was a One Man Rock Band, but now there is more than one.
* FinishingMove:
** Drew uses the Future Shock (double arm DDT), Heath uses a [[Wrestling/DolphZiggler Zig Zag]] variation called Sweetness, and Jinder mostly uses the Camel Clutch.
** Slater later went through several finishers before settling on the Smash Hit (elevated/Impaler DDT). Mahal occasionally uses a full nelson slam to end matches.
* ForeignWrestlingHeel: Played straight with Jinder, subverted by Drew.
* {{Guyliner}}: Drew wore eyeliner.
* HellBentForLeather: All three of them wore leather pants and sometimes jackets.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Heath ''cannot'' sing. Ironically, Drew can sing very well, and has even released a song in the past.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: If WWE wasn't trying to paint them with this brush from the beginning, it became almost certainly the case by the time they came off worse from a couple of confrontations with Wrestling/TheShield.
* InformedAbility: We were consistently informed by Wrestling/MichaelCole that they were talented musicians. We never saw any evidence of this.
%%* {{Jerkass}}
* {{Jobber}}: Their main purpose as a group were to get their asses kicked and [[JokeCharacter look hilarious while doing it.]]
* {{Mascot}}: 3MB picked up a fourth member in Hornswoggle, who is part of 3MB as part of his feud with El Torito of Los Matadores.
* MassOhCrap: The aforementioned call-out of The Shield... and then Brock Lesnar's music hit.
* MultinationalTeam: Mahal is billed from India (although he's actually Canadian), Slater is American, and [=McIntyre=] is from the UK (Scottish).
* OvershadowedByAwesome: It's tough to be a TerribleTrio in WWE when there are not [[Wrestling/TheShield one]], but ''[[Wrestling/TheWyattFamily two]]'' legitimately threatening threesomes running rampant in the company. Add the fact that in the coming years WWE would introduce [[Wrestling/TheNewDay a another comedy trio]] that became far more popular and successful than 3MB ever were, and oh, do these three have a lot to live up to...
* PermaStubble: Heath has a Ginger perma-stubble, to boot.
* RedBaron:
** Drew was "The [[AlliterativeName Sinister]] [[ViolentGlaswegian Scotsman]]" and "The Chosen One."
** Heath was "The One-Man [Southern) Rock Band." Despite his comparatively low importance, this is mentioned on any occasion he's competing in the ring.
** Jinder is "The Maharajah of Metal."
* ReligiousBruiser: It's implied that Jinder's nice hat has some sort of spiritual significance, which is why he treats it with such respect... ''[[TheArtifact and]]'' [[TheArtifact still wears it, even in his "rock star" gimmick with 3MB.]]
* RunningGag:
** We never got to hear them sing, and God knows they tried to.
** They mentioning their debut single, which always conveniently runs into some sort of issue every time they promise it.
* SmallNameBigEgo: All of them naturally think they are bigger stars than they really are.
* TerribleTrio: They were a trio made up around Slater's gimmick of being a "One-Man Rock Band" and were played for comedy.
* TokenMinority: Jinder is Indian descent while both Drew and Heath are Caucasians.
* UnderwearOfPower: Played straight for Jinder and Drew, averted with Heath.
* VillainTeamUp: They figured, since their singles careers weren't going anywhere, they should team up instead.
* ViolentGlaswegian: Good god, Drew during his single run. Other than not actually being from Glasgow (he was born in Ayr and is billed as such), he fits the bill perfectly.
* IHaveManyNames: The group had a lot of names floating around (The Band, The Three Man Band, The International House of Hits, The Trio, Slater Group, and Encore) before they settled on Three Man Band (3MB).
* WrestlingFamily: Jinder is the nephew of wrestler Gama Singh.
