David Crockett (wrestling)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Crockett was a professional wrestling announcer from Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the son of Jim Crockett and brother to Jim Crockett, Jr.. He was usually paired in announcing duties with Tony Schiavone, with Crockett providing color commentary and Schiavone providing play-by-play announcing. From 1985 to 1988, Crockett and Schiavone were the announcing team for NWA World Championship Wrestling. When Jim Ross joined the show in 1988, Crockett stayed on but later left to become an executive producer for NWA/WCW television programming.
David Crockett is remembered for being clotheslined by Nikita Koloff on World Championship Wrestling in 1985. This led to Ric Flair coming to Crockett's aid and gave birth to the first Flair/Koloff feud and their money-making bout at the 1986 Starrcade.
