Tyrus and Chris Adonis are ready to tackle the NWA Crockett Cup.
Despite only teaming together only one time throughout their runs in the NWA, many fans are considering the duo of Adonis and Tyrus to be favorites in the Crockett Cup tournament. Adonis is a former two time NWA National Heavyweight Champion, while Tyrus is currently the reigning the NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
In a new interview with WrestleZone, Tyrus first commented on the situation, noting that the duo should be fine in the tournament given the fact that they've known each other for decades.
“A little bit of luck and timing is everything. Chemistry wins championships, and I guess that’s going to be our biggest challenge at the [Crockett] Cup. We’ve only tagged one time, so obviously we have to deal with that but [we are] arguably the two most dominant men in NWA right now, so we should be able to figure it out. The good news is that personally, we’ve known each other for decades."
Adonis went on to note that he thinks he'll be able to play off Tyrus, given the fact that their strengths compliment each other.
“Our strengths compliment each other as well, you know what I mean? Between [Tyrus] and myself, there’s not too much parody as far as our skills and whatnot. We’re going to be able to play off each other well. Yeah, we don’t have a lot of in-ring chemistry or matches together, but then again we’ve known each other for a long time.”
The Crockett Cup is set to kick off on Saturday, June 3. Fightful will have full coverage of the tournament, which will bleed into Sunday, June 4.
The NWA recently introduced the NWA Women's TV Championship. Fans can learn more about that title here.
