David Finley Crockett (born 1946) is a former professional wrestling announcer and executive from Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the son of Jim Crockett and brother to Jim Crockett, Jr. He was usually paired in announcing duties with Tony Schiavone, with Crockett providing color commentary and Schiavone providing play-by-play announcing. From 1985 to 1988, Crockett and Schiavone were the announcing team for TBS program NWA World Championship Wrestling and the syndicated World Wide Wrestling. When Jim Ross joined the show in 1988, Crockett stayed on but later left to become an executive producer for NWA/WCW television programming, a capacity he held from the time WCW was sold to Ted Turner up until the purchase of WCW's major assets (but not the promotion itself) by the World Wrestling Fe
