That NWA logo the AWA used looked so indie, was it too much to use the 1989 NWA Crockett era logo or the WCW one? And by this point the NWA (WCW) could've suggested to Verne Gagne to use the AWA as a developmental territory for WCW and send talent that creative had nothing for them to do in Atlanta to send up to Minnesota for awhile.
It wouldn’t have been a bad arrangement, but who knows how much legs it would have had given how stubborn Verne is and how insistent he was on his guys not getting beat on TV.
Nice find in the AWA's Twin Wars! That's the first I've ever heard of that and interesting to think AWA was joint promoting as late as 1990. Must be a story behind that somewhere. Was there any other WCW talented booked on that besides Flair and Pillman and was it recorded for broadcast or just a live event? The gates were very poor at that point for AWA and as I recall they were running mostly small venues and sporadically at that, so would be curious as well what the attendance was.
Sadly, only Pillman and Flair represented the NWA for this one, so it wasn't much of an interpromotional effort. I don't believe it was filmed for TV, nor could I find any kind of handheld footage. However, SuperClash IV wasn't thought to be recorded, but it showed up on the WWE network. Maybe WWE's just sitting on this one? I'll get more into the show itself in a couple of issues, but the attendance was much better than usual, with 4000 in the building (around 2000 paid, the rest being comps to fill out the arena).
