Can Aron Stevens Lead Blunt Force Trauma to Victory at the 2024 Crockett Cup? (ConT’D)
Despite their Crockett Cup victory last year in Winston-Salem, Knox and Murdoch have not fared so well against BFT since. Naturally, Stevens played a huge role in those losses, but the fact remains they repeatedly failed to wrest the belts from BFT
“It shocked many to watch Knox and Murdoch come up short every single time against the champs,” says NWA agent and tag team specialist Dr. Tom Pritchard.
“Personally, I’m not entirely surprised,” he admits. “BFT are a top-tier team, and Aron Stevens is a very, very smart manager.”
In addition to surviving Knox and Murdoch, duos like The Fixers and even former World’s champions Jax Dane and Tim Storm have fallen to Stevens’ masked monsters. Many insiders agree it’s hard to picture any current NWA pairing beating the champs amidst the pressure of pro wrestling’s most legendary tag tournament.
“The problem BFT could face is the unpredictability of The Crockett Cup,” suggests Joe Cazana.
In addition to frequently leading his sons The New Country Gentlemen to ringside, the veteran grappler also heads Joe Cazana Promotions, the NWA’s Southeastern Territory. Having been at the very first NWA Crockett Cup in 1986, Cazana points to the tournament’s tradition of gathering the top duos in the world to compete.
“History has shown the Crockett Cup attracts the best talents from across the United States and around the world,” Cazana continues. “While Aron Stevens might have every team in the NWA scouted, he couldn’t possibly have his eyes on teams from every corner of the earth all at once!”
Dealz isn’t so certain. Stevens has traveled to NWA territories across the country, and works for promotions around the world, says ‘The Deals Man.’
“If there’s ever been an NWA manager capable of making the kind of history BFT has the chance to at Crockett Cup, it’s Aron Stevens,” he says.
“That brother always has a plan,” Dealz concludes, “And you know it involves BFT walking out with the Cup!”
