Crockett Jr. had brief funs as the owner of two minor league baseball teams and a minor league hockey team in addition to running his pro wrestling territory. Crockett sold the pro wrestling company to Ted Turner in 1988, and it was renamed World Championship Wrestling. Crockett also served three terms as the president of the National Wrestling Alliance.
