SuperBrawl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 209.237.94.89 (talk) at 16:33, 7 May 2012 (Correction of Superbrawl 1991 date, which took place in May and not February.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

SuperBrawl was an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view in World Championship Wrestling during the month of February (and in May in 1991) from 1991 through 2001. Along with Starrcade, Bash at the Beach, The Great American Bash and Halloween Havoc, SuperBrawl was booked to be one of WCW's flagship pay-per-views. The first SuperBrawl was in May but it switched to its annual month of February in 1992. It was the next to last WCW PPV before the company folded in March 2001. Sting holds the record for most appearances at the pay-per-view with eight SuperBrawls.
