to showcase the top independent wrestlers in the country. The tournament was regularly hosted by JCW until its close in 2004 whereupon it was taken over by National Wrestling Superstars. In 2005, shortly after purchasing the rights to the J-Cup Tournament, NWS promoter Joe Panzarino announced that the tournament would be renamed the Chris Candido Memorial J-Cup Tournament, and the J-Cup renamed the Chris Candido Memorial J-Cup Trophy. Subsequently, the tournament has been 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. Since 2007, it has also grown to include separate tournaments for female wrestlers and tag teams.
