SuperClash II was the second SuperClash professional wrestling supercard event produced by American Wrestling Association (AWA). The event took place at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California on May 2, 1987. The show was promoted as the AWA's most important show of the year. Unlike SuperClash I and SuperClash III, the second event featured mainly AWA wrestlers. While not the last match of the show the main event was a match between Curt Hennig and Nick Bockwinkel for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship, in which Hennig defeated Bockwinkel to capture his only world championship.
The show featured six additional matches that were taped for television and shown as part of the AWA's weekly television shows in subsequent weeks. The show was produced by San Francisco based Robert McWilliams Productions for the AWA.

[edit]The opening match of the event took place between Buck Zumhofe and Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissy. Kassie pinned Zumhofe with a roll-up in the corner.
Next, D.J. Peterson took on Super Ninja. Near the end of the match, Peterson got a sunset flip and covered Ninja in a small package for the pinfall but the fifteen minute time limit expired, resulting in the match ending in a time limit draw.
Next, Sherri Martel defended the World Women's Championship against Madusa Miceli. Miceli performed an airplane spin on Martel but Doug Somers distracted the referee, allowing Martel to roll-up Miceli by grabbing her tights for leverage to retain the title.
