Jim Crockett sells to Turner

 

[VIDEO] Jim Crockett sold his company Jim Crocket Promotions to Ted Turner. As Crockett explains Turner wanted to keep wrestling on his networks and wasn't going to do business with Vince McMahon so he went about to buy out JCP - that company ultimately became what we now refer to as World Championship Wrestling or WCW.

It's amazing to see this clip of this interview with Conrad Thompson and not too long after this Crockett would pass away. At least we got some of his thoughts on his time in the business.

The JCP brand would be revived for Ric Flair's last match, hopefully more to come with that brand in the future. Flair's one-time match hopefully is a one-time deal as he's a legend but he's in his 70s now and he was recently diagnosed with skin cancer.
