Legendary wrestling promoter Jim Crockett Jr. has passed away at age of 76.

WWE Hall of Famer Robert Gibson of The Rock N’ Roll Express confirmed the news Wednesday evening on his Facebook page.

Rest In Peace Jim Crockett, Jr. You will be missed by so many.

Posted by Robert Gibson on Wednesday, March 3, 2021

Reports emerged over the weekend revealing Crockett was in grave condition due to liver and kidney failure.

Crockett Jr.’s father founded Jim Crockett Promotions in 1931, he took over the promotion in 1977. In 1980, he became the president of the National Wrestling Alliance.

In 1982, Crockett Jr. started a second promotion, Southern Championship Wrestling with Ric Flair and Blackjack Mulligan. That venture lasted less than one year.

In 1985, he purchased the Saturday Night TBS timeslot from Vince McMahon, airing a weekly show under the World Championship Wrestling banner.

In 1988, Crockett Jr. sold the company to Ted Turner, who later named the promotion World Championship Wrestling. Turner Brodcasting System purchased a majority interest in Jim Crockett Promotions, with Crockett Jr. becoming a consultant for the company

Crockett Jr. attempted to get back into the wrestling business in 1994, starting World Wrestling Network with Paul Heyman as the head booker. The venture was short-lived, and Crockett Jr. left the wrestling business in 1995.

Our condolences to his family and friends.
