These 2 things are not connected. Super Clash 1 in Sept 85 was the Super Card not a PPV
I'm refering to the 1988 PPV (the first and only timet that the AWA got on PPV), which united the AWA with World Class and the Memphis group. I don't completely understand that these three promotions (they already had timeslot with ESPN), with their backs against the wall (in the face of the WWF and the NWA/WCW, who had Ted Turner backing them) didn't work better as a cohesive unit. But then again, egos and politics will always get in the way of good business sense.
The talent roster wasn't there to make a dent. The AWA at that point was all way over the hill guys or no name rookies
Memphis had little after Lawler
And World Class was dead in the water as the fans had given up on the Von Erichs, and Eric Embry wasn't going to cut it as a national star
