David Crockett on Jim Crockett Promotions’ Missing Tapes & Wrestling’s Lost History

David Crockett joins Battle and Eli to take you inside one of the most influential eras in professional wrestling. He shares how losing a coin flip put him behind the microphone, how Tony Schiavone got his start and what it felt like getting nearly turned inside out by Nikita Koloff.

David also discusses the Crockett Cup, the storytelling philosophy behind the NWA and the priceless wrestling history lost in a fire. Plus, he explains why he believes decades of Jim Crockett Promotions footage disappeared following the Turner sale and why the WCW crew proudly called themselves “Ted’s redheaded stepchildren.”
