Kerry Morton is excited to team with his father in the NWA Crockett Cup.
After taking a multi year absence, the NWA recently announced the return of the Crockett Cup for 2023. There are currently over 15 teams announced for the tournament, but one team that sticks out above the rest of the father and son duo of Ricky and Kerry Morton.
Although Kerry and Ricky have been teaming together for nearly a full year, this will be their first opportunity to win a big tournament in the world of tag team wrestling.
In a new interview with the Sports Guys Talk Wrestling podcast, Kerry Morton talked about teaming with his father and how the two are preparing to win the Crockett Cup.
“You know, it speaks for itself so to speak. We’re firing on all cylinders, especially when we step into the NWA squared circle. We come to win and that’s something we’re both on the same page about. Obviously, [with a] father and son duo, you kind of have that linger in between, ‘Hey, I’m thinking one thing’ and then he’s picking up exactly what I was thinking. With that being said, we’re firing on all cylinders. We’re training at the School Of Morton wrestling academy here in Tennessee, we’re on the road every weekend for the independents all across the country. This is less than three weeks away, we step into the Crockett Cup. The last one was in 2019, Ricky and Robert were thrown out by The Briscoes, rest in peace Jay. Paying homage, we wanna come back and do some Justice and show the world that a [duo of a] 66 and a 22 year old can come together and make something. We’ll make something for ourselves.”
