SuperClash

SuperClash was the title of a series of major professional wrestling shows promoted by the American Wrestling Association (AWA) between 1985 and 1990, often co-promoted with other North American wrestling promotions. AWA held a total of four SuperClash shows, with the third being broadcast on Pay Per View (PPV), AWA's only PPV show.

SuperClash '85

SuperClash '85 - The Night of Champions was a professional wrestling event promoted by the American Wrestling Association (AWA). This was billed as AWA's flagship supercard, their biggest event of the year held only a few months after WrestleMania I by rival the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The event was held at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois on September 28, 1985. The show drew a paid attendance of 20,347, although it was announced as 25,000, who sat through cold outdoor temperatures. SuperClash - Night of Champions was one of the co-promotional efforts by the AWA, National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) to compete with the WWF's increasing national presence and popularity. The jointly promoted venture was known as Pro Wrestling USA. Reportedly, promoters Verne Gagne (AWA) and Jim Crockett disputed the live gate for the show, with Crockett claiming $288,000 and Gagne claiming $200,000 was made. Due to the money dispute, several NWA stars set to appear on Gagne's upcoming AWA events were pulled, with some cards then cancelled altogether.
