Rating - 0.44
SEGMENT 1 - It's the day after the World War III! With the presentation of Mr. T and Nick Bockwinkel, the report of the WW3 show comes to the screens at the opening of the show.
SEGMENT 2 - DDP is giving an interview. After his defeat against Brunzell in the WW3, his new projects in Hollywood were canceled one by one. “The producers say they don't want to work with a loser so that the brand value of the movies doesn't drop. But you know what? I am not a loser! I will prove it to everyone! Brunzell, I'm offering you another match. In SuperClash, you and I, one-on-one, if I win, that rock band you're so proud of will disband. If you win, I will quit acting.”
SEGMENT 3 - Jim Brunzell defeated James Sandoval (w/Butch Reed) in 6:57 by pinfall - In an interview after the match, Brunzell says he accepted the DDP's challenge.
SEGMENT 4 - We're watching a SuperClash V commercial. Frank Reed explains that he has some big news. A new championship title is coming: AWA International Television Championship! This title, which was retired 2 years ago, will find its owner with a Battle Royal match to be held at the SuperClash.
SEGMENT 5 - Dylan Dowboy, who has now managed to obtain a US visa, comes to the immigration office to complete the final procedures with Elizabeth. But here they are ambushed by Zbyszko and Wallstreet! Dowboy is beating in public. When the security guards get there, the Zbyszko and Wallstreet duo flee.
SEGMENT 6 - Tully Blanchard (w/Arn Anderson) defeated “The Loner” Mr. Sandman in 8:16 by pinfall with a Slingshot Suplex - Anderson and Blanchard looks pretty cocky after their win against the Steiners last night. Sandman again wants to turn the hourglass upside down and put it in the corner before the match starts. However, Blanchard is very stingy and attacks from behind and knows how to win the match.
SEGMENT 7 - Next week on Championship Wrestling: Blanchard vs. Steamboat
SEGMENT 8 - Brian Pillman calls out to AWA World champion Rude: "What happened last night, no one who could beat Rick Rude at all three different companies... All of this is making me sick. Maybe something needs to change now? Young talents need to get a chance? I am ready and challenged! On the biggest show of the year, SuperClash, you and me!”
SEGMENT 9 - Owen Hart (w/Jackie Fargo) defeated Red Hook Machine (w/Jesse Ventura) in 6:10 by submission with a Sharpshooter - Owen, who has been touring with NJPW for a while, is finally back with the company. Before the match, Fargo praises Owen again and talks about his achievements in Japan and stuff. Meanwhile, they are also talking about the upcoming International Television title. "I don't think there is a talent other than Owen who deserves this title, no offense" says Fargo.
SEGMENT 10 - We're watching a Racket Club promo. Ellering thanks his teammates for helping them tear the von Raschke family apart last night. After that, they gave a "deadly message" to the entire AWA. In particular, he opens a parenthesis to "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, who returned to AJPW. “He will always be remembered as a legend within Racket Club” they say.
SEGMENT 11 - Jerry Lawler and Ricky Steamboat defeated Racket Club (Terry Mawashi and Jimmy Del Ray) (w/Paul Ellering) in 12:16 when Ricky Steamboat defeated Jimmy Del Ray by submission with a Chickenwing - Contrary to expectations, Mawashi and Del Ray duo lead the match quite superior. But Lawler and Steamboat know how to bounce back over time and win. They put aside their arguments last night and made up for it. The victory in this match is a sign of that.
SEGMENT 12 - We learn that Rick Rude and Brian Pillman will face off next week. In closing, we recall the matches from the old SuperClash shows. The match we remember tonight is from the show SuperClash I: Ric Flair vs. Magnum TA – NWA World Heavyweight Championship (1985)
