PDRwrestling Review: Crockett Cup 1986

The First Annual Crockett Cup
April 13, 1986
New Orleans, LA
The Superdome

The best of Bill Watts’ UWF and Jim Crockett Promotions come together to compete in a day long 24-tag team tournament with a grand prize of a million dollars! Oh yeah, and to honor the late Jim Crockett Sr. too, of course. It’s wrestling history, BAYBEE!

Your hosts are David Crockett and Tony Schiavone. Hooray.

The 411: Wow, 22 matches! That’s excruciatingly insane! There’s tons of nostalgia, but there’s just too much here. Most of the matches are cut down to the hot tag and the finish, which means it is hard to really get into anything. With only a few shining moments in the tournament like the Tiger Mask and Giant Baba US appearance and the two Fantastics matches – heck, just seeing Dr. Death in his Mid-South days was pretty cool for me. Great for the nostalgia though and for that, I'll give it a thumbs up if you can find it anywhere.

Final Score:  7.0   [ Good ]
