Starrcast has filed to trademark the term "SuperClash" for wrestling purposes.

SuperClash was a series of wrestling events promoted by the AWA in 1985, 1987, 1988, and 1990. The first AWA SuperClash took place on September 28, 1985, from Chicago's Comiskey Park. The event featured Ric Flair defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Magnum T.A, The Road Warriors vs. The Fabulous Freebirds, and Rick Martel defending the AWA World Championship against Stan Hansen.

Conrad Thompson's company submitted the filing on September 7. It comes one month after they filed to trademark the term 'Southwest Championship Wrestling,' which was the name of a promotion owned by Joe Blanchard out of San Antonio from 1978 to 1985.

The purposes of the SuperClash trademark are listed as "Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring professional wrestling and sports entertainers in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes." As well as "Hats; Shirts; Bandanas; Shirts and short-sleeved shirts; Sweatshirts; Hooded sweatshirts."

Thompson alluded to having a "master plan" that he has yet to unveil during an episode of My World with Jeff Jarrett last month.

"You and I talked about this over a year ago," Thompson said to Jarrett. "I said, 'no, I'm not doing wrestling, I'm not promoting wrestling, I'm not negotiating finishes, I don't want to be involved in the politics.' I like my lane but this opportunity [Ric Flair's Last Match] presented itself. The real story that we're not talking about, we will tell you one day, but this is part of a bigger master plan, and no it does not involve Ric Flair wrestling again but the entrepreneur brain kicked off and I saw an opportunity for Sunday and I said, 'if I don't do it, I'll wonder what if, so let's do it.' We rolled the dice, I couldn't be more tickled with the results."
