Yup Starrcades were just as long at that time as well

also here's another great supercard held the year prior when AWA was working alongside with NWA to try and derail Vince's WWF which was unstoppable at that time

The 1985 event was held at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois on September 28, 1985.

Steve Regal defeated Brad Rheingans to retain the AWA Light Heavyweight Championship
Little Tokyo defeated Little Mr. T to retain the NWA World Midget's Championship
Sherri Martel defeated Candy Divine to win the AWA World Women's Championship
Mil Máscaras defeated Buddy Roberts to retain the IWA Heavyweight Championship
Jumbo Tsuruta, Giant Baba, & Genichiro Tenryu defeated Harley Race, Bill Irwin & Scott Irwin
Kerry Von Erich defeated Jimmy Garvin to retain the WCCW Texas Championship
Krusher Khruschev, Ivan Koloff and Nikita Koloff defeated Crusher, Dick the Bruiser and Baron Von Raschke to retain the NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Championship
Sgt. Slaughter defeated Boris Zukhov by disqualification to retain the AWA America's Championship
Jerry Blackwell defeated Kamala in a $10,000 "bodyslam" match
Greg Gagne, Scott Hall and Curt Hennig defeated Ray Stevens, Nick Bockwinkel and Larry Zbyszko
The Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) defeated The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy) via disqualification to retain the AWA World Tag Team Championship. The Fabulous Freebirds had actually won by pinfall, due to illegal interference by Michael Hayes; however Verne Gagne intervened and by virtue of the instant replay rule gave back the victory and the titles to the Road Warriors
Rick Martel fought Stan Hansen to a double disqualification to retain the AWA World Heavyweight Championship
Ric Flair defeated Magnum T.A. to retain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship
