Didn't the New Price is Right do that beginning about halfway through the run?

Looking at it now, I'm sort of meh on the Davidson Pyramid. Back when I was 8, though, I was so excited to see another version of Pyramid on the air that I didn't care.

I believe you're right. I remember one guy doing a cartwheel after winning 3 Strikes.

Kind of. The original opening had a few Davidson clips, behind-the-scenes stuff, non-Davidson clips, and bits of the 1993 pilots. Exactly halfway through the run, it became shorter and was comprised solely of Davidson clips, including the aforementioned Three Strikes cartwheel.

Did The $1,000,000 Chance Of A Lifetime use a winner's montage opening? I know the 1986-91 Chain Reaction did, at least early on.

Here is a couple of examples...Here's a episode I found in YouTube land that has the opening from the beginning of the season without the cartwheel guy...

Davidson TPIR Example 1

...and here is a Doug Davidson's hosting reel that is on Doug Davidson's YT page that starts off with the part of the shortened opening with the cartwheel guy.
