The Jersey J-Cup, also known as the Chris Candido Memorial J-Cup Tournament, is an annual professional wrestling tournament held in New Jersey, typically in February. Modeled after New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Super J-Cup, it is the second-oldest active independent wrestling tournament in United States after the East Coast Wrestling Association's Super 8 Tournament. [1]
The wrestlers in the tournament are typically junior heavyweight wrestlers from independent promotions all over North America. [1] [2] The tournament was initially hosted by New Jersey–based Jersey Championship Wrestling (JCW) and National Wrestling Superstars (NWS). The tournament was revived by JCW in 2014 before becoming inactive again after the promotion was renamed to Game Changer Wrestling (GCW). JCW and NWS held a combined fourteen J-Cup tournaments. No wrestler ever won the tournament twice during the JCW and NWS years, however, a number of participants did enter the tournament multiple times. Devon Moore was the wrestler who participated in the most J-Cups during its initial existence as he wrestled in all NWS-promoted tournaments except the 2007 tournament.
In 2023, GCW brought back the Jersey J-Cup, holding the tournament to determine the inaugural holder of the JCW World Championship.
The tournament was first held in 2000 by Jersey Championship Wrestling (JCW). It was originally created by JCW's founder Ricky Otazu, inspired by the success of the Super 8 Tournament, as an American counterpart to New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Super J-Cup. The Jersey J-Cup was intended to showcase the top independent wrestlers in the United States and North America. [1] The tournament was regularly hosted by JCW until its close in 2004 whereupon it was taken over by National Wrestling Superstars (NWS).
In 2005, shortly after purchasing the rights to the Jersey J-Cup, NWS promoter Joe Panzarino announced that the tournament would be renamed the Chris Candido Memorial J-Cup Tournament, and the J-Cup itself renamed to the Chris Candido Memorial J-Cup Trophy. [2] [3] Subsequently, the tournament was changed with the opening rounds consisting of three-way elimination matches to reduce the duration of the event while keeping the same number of competitors.
In 2006, NWS began hosting a separate tournament for female wrestlers called the J-Cup Tournament , which NWS would begin co-promoting with Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU) in 2008. NWS co-promoted the tournament until 2010 when it became exclusive to WSU. In 2007, NWS also began hosting a separate tournament for tag teams called the J-Cup Tag Team Tournament, which was renamed as the Lou Albano Memorial J-Cup Tag Team Tournament in 2010 as a tribute to Captain Lou Albano.
NWS closed in 2012 and JCW was reinstated in 2013. JCW revived the Jersey J-Cup in 2014 before the promotion was revamped as Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) in 2015. GCW revived the Jersey J-Cup in 2023 to crown the inaugural JCW World Champion. [4]

The 2000 JCW Jersey J-Cup was a two-block, 16-man tournament held on May 12, 2000, at Paramus High School in Paramus, New Jersey. [5] [14] [15] Wrestlers from seven promotions, including Jersey Championship Wrestling, were represented at the inaugural tournament including the CyberSpace Wrestling Federation, East Coast Pro Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, NWA New York, Outlaws of Wrestling and World Xtreme Wrestling. [16]
Judas Young won the tournament by winning four matches at the event. Over the course of the evening, he defeated Homicide in the opening round, Crazy Ivan in the quarter-finals, Low Ki in the semi-finals and Ryan Wing in the final match. [5] [14] [15] Ryan Wing, hometown hero and favorite to win the tournament, made a surprise "heel turn" arrogantly criticizing the fans and brought out his "mother", Mrs. Wing, to be in his corner during his match against Judas Young. It was a failed attempt at outside interference, an ill-timed slap that accidentally hit her son, that allowed Young to pin Wing with a schoolboy rollup for the win.

The 2005 NWS Jersey J-Cup was a two-block, 16-man tournament held on April 30, 2005, at the Recreation Station Arena in Toms River, New Jersey. The show opened with a tribute to Chris Candido followed by a formal announcement by National Wrestling Superstars, which had recently purchased the rights to the J-Cup, that the tournament would be renamed the Chris Candido Memorial J-Cup Tournament, and the J-Cup itself as the Candido Memorial J-Cup Trophy. It also introduced a new concept in which the opening rounds consisted of Fatal Four Way matches. This reduced the duration of the tournament, eliminating the quarter-finals, while keeping the same number of participants and allowed additional non-tournament matches. [32] [3]
Mike Kruel won the tournament by winning four matches at the event. Over the course of the evening, he defeated Damian Adams, Slayer and Steve Zapf in the opening round, Trent Acid in the semi-finals and Azriael in the final match; Kruel was presented the trophy by Candido's family after the match. In addition to the tournament, there were two championship matches on the undercard; WXW Heavyweight Champion Bison Bravado defended his title against Funky White Boy and AWA Heavyweight Champion Danny Demanto wrestled JD Smooth, both defeating their opponents.
