In November, 2002 IPW Hardcore wrestler "the All American" Jeff Peterson lost his battle with cancer. May 16-17, 2003 saw the beginning of the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, a sixteen competitor cruiserweight tournament in honor of the fallen star. Each year since the event has grown to international levels. Previous winners include, "Reckless Youth" Tom Carter, Justice, Chris Sabin, Milano Collection AT, Chris Hero and Erick Stevens. This year will be the 7th installment of the Tournament to honor Mr. Peterson sponsored by the World Wrestling Network.
