Cup of Joe Wrestling Shows that took place in April:
8. I made up a new word: SNME April 1988. Adding to the nations vocabulary, parking in a no parking zone with no depth perception, and seeing a comedian are all a part of Joey’s week as he takes a look at Saturday Night’s Main Event from April 1988. You will see why Vince McMahon “lustes” over Elizabeth, why Hulk Hogan is missing, and why Joey would rather be backed by Superstar Billy Graham than Virgil.
11. Sometimes it’s Cash and Creative: AWA Super Sunday. Bringing extra content during this time, 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.
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.
31. No promotion, no crowd, and the names are misspelled: Clash VI April 1989. Ric Flair has his name misspelled, Ricky Steamboat has his name misspelled and a son dressed as a cut rate Yoshi, JYD and Butch Reed return to The Superdome, George Scott is lost, Jim Ross and Michael Hayes reunite, and Terry Funk is not retired as Joey takes a look at Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin’ Cajun.
32. Grabbing, Stomping, and Marla Maples too: WrestleMania V. Someone gets grabbed, someone gets stomped, Rockin’ Robin sings, Run DMC raps, Piper is in the Pit, Liz is thrown out, Savage has a staph infection, there are two Championship belts at ringside, and Marla Maples is in the crowd two years before anyone knew her as Joey takes a look at WrestleMania V.
