List of World Class Championship Wrestling supercard events

The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex based professional wrestling promotion World Class Wrestling Association (WCWA) held produced and scripted a number of supercard shows. Matches from some of these shows were taped for future television shows. The World Class Wrestling Association started out under the name "Southwest Sports" from 1940 to 1966, then known as "Big Time Wrestling", a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), from 1966 until 1982. In 1982 the promotion was renamed World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) and grew beyond the limits of the Texas territory, with syndicated television shows available across the United States and internationally. The company was renamed World Class Wrestling Association in 1986 when they left the NWA.
