Cup of Joe Wrestling Show: The AWA Shows

11. Sometimes it’s Cash and Creative: AWA Super Sunday

 Joey takes a look at Super Sunday from the AWA. It’s Hogan VS. Bockwinkel for the AWA title and Hogan VS. Gagne behind the scenes over Hogan’s future.

13. The Lion in Late April: AWA WrestleRock ’86

Joey has a full tank and nowhere to go as he takes a look at WrestleRock ’86 from the AWA. From why Bruiser Brody had to be called King Kong, to Nick Bockwinkel’s amazing performance, to the most vile wrestler Joey has ever seen, this show has it all.

15. Gagne, not spelled like it’s pronounced: AWA SuperClash II

A little knowledge is dangerous as Joey and Rod Trongard learn something at the same time, Joey continues to be treated to the worst wrestler ever, Curt and Larry make change, Nick Bockwinkel is great as usual, and Joey talks about the greatness of the show Wings and the wonders of DVD sets. All this and more as he looks at AWA SuperClash II.

17. Larry Nelson got paid in interviews: SuperClash III

Larry Nelson gets paid in interviews, Kerry Von Erich bleeds for the industry, Sgt. Slaughter is portraying a character, Joey finds another wrestler to hate, Verne Gagne is lost, and this show is a mess as Joey takes a look at SuperClash III.

19. With a Whimper: AWA SuperClash IV

Verne Gagne’s great AWA promotion comes to an end not with a bang, but with a whimper. Larry Zbyszko gets a shoulder up on Mr. Saito, Bob Lurtsema wants to be a referee, Tully Blanchard pops up, and the crowd wants to smoke.
