8. SuperBrawl II
In the early 90s WCW introduced a new annual PPV, SuperBrawl, which in many ways became the new flagship show.
Part of that had to do with Starrcade being repurposed as a BattleBowl special in ’91 and ’92, but also the early SuperBrawl PPVs had loaded match lineups with big-time main events. Case in point was the second installment. Leading off with a Brian Pillman-Jushin “Thunder” Liger Jr. Heavyweight classic set the tone for a memorable night. After a few somewhat forgettable undercard bouts like Marcus Bagwell vs. Terry Taylor, Cactus Jack vs. Ron Simmons (which should’ve gotten more time), and Van Hammer/Z-Man vs. Richard Morton/Vinnie Vegas (which should’ve gotten less time), the show hit its stride with four big matchups in a row.
Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes faced Steve Austin and Larry Zbyszko, Tag Team Champs Arn Anderson & Bobby Eaton defended against The Steiners, Rick Rude retained the US Title vs. Ricky Steamboat, and Sting regained the WCW Title over former best friend Lex Luger, who left for the WWF after this show.
While SB2 lacked a true Match of the Year contender, it was nevertheless a pretty unrelentingly good PPV with a lot of early 90s WCW star power.
