SuperBrawl III was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). This was the third SuperBrawl event, taking place on February 21, 1993 from the Asheville Civic Center in Asheville, North Carolina.
The main event was a White Castle of Fear Strap match between Big Van Vader and Sting. Vader's WCW World Heavyweight Championship was not on the line in the main event while the match was not sanctioned by WCW. Vader touched the fourth corner after being propelled into it by Sting to win the match. This event marked the return of Ric Flair to WCW and Davey Boy Smith's WCW debut. The event also featured The Great Muta versus Barry Windham for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Windham defeated Muta to win the title.
The Heavenly Bodies (Tom Prichard and Stan Lane) replaced the Wrecking Crew due to an agreement by WCW Executive Vice President Bill Watts and Smoky Mountain Wrestling commissioner Bob Armstrong on an earlier episode of Main Event. The Heavenly Bodies' SMW Tag Team Championship was not on the line, making it a non-title match.
