the match before it was the Indian strap match wahoo vs. many was a bloody bout it's self

Lawler was great inside and outside of the ring. Excellent on the mic. A great athlete and entertainer.

I so wanted to go to this show. Loved AWA and WCCW. I really miss territory wrestling.

Kerry on hogan's level? Not a chance in hell.he was a big man in a small territory. Hogan was global.The only other guy that could've been as big as hogan was dusty rhodes and that ship sailed away rapidly

One of my favorite matches! Really like Jerry in the heel role. He really knows how to work a crowd!

USE TO HAVE A PICTURE OF THIS EVENT WITH KING AN KERRY SUPERCLASH 3 ON MY WALL IN MY ROOM RIP KERRY VON ERICH RIP TEXAS TORNADO 🌪

Jerry was the last great champion in AWA history.

I was a kid when "Superclash 3" happened(I was born in '79)I thought it was cool to have a unification match between the AWA & WCCW. I was sick of WWF being all over the TV dial & it was always nice to see other promotions operate. Being sick of Vince's product didn't just start in recent years it goes back decades, ladies & gentlemen!

Back in the 80s and up to the attitude era Vince geared WWF towards kids so he could sell action figures,shirts,bedding,the whole shebang!So you had wrestlers playing characters like a pirate or a clown or almost any occupation imaginable.

Vince ended up killing off Professional Wrestling in the end. Everybody talks about how much money he made, how he globalized it, etc. Etc. Unfortunately now nobody makes money and nobody watches it except for a bunch of Internet nerds. It is simply atrocious and unwatchable anymore.

That match for 2 titles was really a classic

Personally, one of my all time favorite match. Top 10 for sure. It was like a boxing match, a true fight, and it truly feels like Jerry and Kerry were fighting to death to be the World Heavyweight champion. SuperClash 3 as a whole was a failure and a train wreck, but that main-event was truly legendary in my opinion. Thanks Jerry for that match! ✌

*"The Night That Kerry von Erich Got Screwed"*

Many regional stars went to the the WWF for more money and exposure, but they also gave up the push, and Main Event status they might have enjoyed in a particular territory to become mid carders in The WWF, but at the end of the day, the talent had to do what was best for them, and their families.

I so marked out for this match.

AWA was on ESPN.

I remember watching this match with my mom, God was she mad at King!She was a huge Kerry fan and couldn't believe how much Jerry cheated! LOL I kept telling her it was a work and not to get so worked up! Met Jerry in Philadelphia years ago and he couldn't have been nicer.

i think it was Fred Dusek that was with Kerry

Like 1,700 in attendance and a not-so-good pay-per-view buys. Verne didn’t pay Lawler and I'm sure others, as well. It was the beginning of the end for Verne.

To think that the inaugural SC drew 25,000 at Comiskey Park.

Do you think they took Lawler's look for the General Zod character for the Superman movie?

What a terrible decision to hold this show at the UIC Pavillion. Should have been held in Memphis or Dallas.

Shouldnt of been in Chicago though.

The idea was that the AWA had a great history in Chicago, which it did. Problem was Lawler and Von Erich didn't (well, the Von Erichs had something of a name in the area, but obviously not compared to Texas). Another reasons for it being in Chicago was that Chicago was a major media centre, which it was. Of course, it probably would've done a much better live attendance had it been in Memphis or Dallas/Fort Worth.

It wouldn't have mattered where they held the show, it was going to be a disaster. Lawler and Von Erich had already faced each other numerous times on both Memphis and World Class tv, all with screwy finishes so fans had no reason to believe this would be any different. And it wasn't.

The first SuperClash actually drew 25,000 fans at Comiskey Park. And just a couple years later -- SC 3 drew about 1,500 in a 10,000-seat arena.

Jerry Lawler n Jerry Jarret rob Verne gagne this night

I think by the time this ppv happened vince had already taken over the wrestling world on an international scale and there was nothing these promoters can do to stop it. It's simple vince had a major tv deal and the talent followed where they can be seen nation wide period.

Lawler kissing Vince’s ass during the interview.

Of all the promoters that could've weathered the storm of the 80s, Verne was it. He had markets like Vegas. He had ESPN. He just didn't want to change his product at all. He insisted on his stale old formula and having his dumbass son be the booker. Yes Vince stole a lot of guys from him. Everybody knows that. But Verne made the decision easy for guys. How many wrestlers have a horror story about Verne Gagne and money?

the government also really messed him up with that eminent domain case tho. not only did he lose all the money he invested in his property, but he spent thousands more fighting it in court, and eventually lost everything. if he'd had that property and money to draw on then the whole wrestling war might have been different. remember; vince's deep pockets are what let him buy all his competition.

He forgot to mention he didnt get paid for that match and gagne bad mouthed him and stripped him of the title after that..

Nobody got paid that night. Verne told the wrestlers they'd get paid by their respective promoters after the pay per view numbers came in, then refused to pay any of the other promoters claiming the show had lost money. Jerry Jarrett and Jerry Lawler were pissed and in retaliation, Lawler refused to defend the 'Unified' world title in the AWA. Thus leading to Verne badmouthing Lawler and later stripping him of the title.

@@shaheed5103 Verne eventually reportedly paid his talent and maybe the wrestlers who no longer worked for him but that he had long term relationships with. The rest of the outside talent got stiffed. This was the beginning of the end for AWA because the company was already going downhill and now other promotions didn’t want to work with him.

Gagne let the business go by him and he was a cheapskate with the guys.
