Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox wrestling event The 2023 iteration of the Crockett Cup (formerly known as the Sixth Annual Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup Tag Team Tournament) was a two-day professional wrestling tag team tournament produced by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). The event took place on June 3 and 4, 2023, at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds Annex in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in the United States. It was the sixth iteration of the Crockett Cup.
Production
Background
The Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup Tag Team Tournament is a tag team tournament first held in April 1986.[1] National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) member Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP), headed by Jim Crockett Jr., hosted the Crockett Cup, held in honor of Crockett's father, JCP founder Jim Crockett Sr. and saw participation of teams from various NWA territories. JCP held the tournament again in 1987[2] and 1988,[3] before JCP was sold to Ted Turner later that year.[4] In July 2017, the Crockett Foundation, with Classic Pro Wrestling, held the "Crockett Foundation Cup Tag Team Tournament" in New Kent, Virginia, which was not affiliated with the NWA. Bobby Fulton, The Barbarian, and The Rock 'n' Roll Express, all former Crockett Cup participants, took part in the event as a link to the original tournaments.[5]
The original concept of the Crockett Cup was a single elimination tag team tournament, with the storyline prize of $1,000,000.00 given to the winning team along with a large trophy.[6] The 1986 and 1987 tournaments featured 24 teams,[1][2] while the 1988 version had 22 teams competing.[3] Each tournament was split over two shows to encompass all 23 tournament matches as well as non-tournament matches; in 1986, JCP held a show in the afternoon and another in the evening,[1] while the 1987 and 1988, the tournament was spread out over two days instead.[2][3]
On April 7, 2023, at NWA 312, it was announced that the Crockett Cup would return and would be held in on June 3–4, at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds Annex in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.[7]
Storylines
The event will feature a number professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers are portrayed as either heels (those that portray the "bad guys"), faces (the "good guy" characters), or tweeners (characters that are neither clearly a heel or a face) as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches as determined by the promotion.[8] The thirteenth season of the NWA's weekly flagship program, Powerr, will feature storylines leading up to the event along with the seventh season of NWA USA.
