Thursday Thoughts

Cup of Joe Wrestling Show. Wrestling shows that took place in January

1. Birthdays: Saturday Night’s Main Event January 1988. It’s the first episode of the Cup of Joe Wrestling Show. Joey talks about birthdays and the importance that they have in his family while looking at the Saturday Night’s Main Event from January 1988.

2. You’ve Ruined the Western States Heritage Championship: Bunkhouse Stampede ’88. Joey looks at his first JCP offering, The Bunkhouse Stampede ’88. The Western States Heritage Championship is tainted for Joey, The Barbarian gets jumped from behind, and Joey needs to drink more water.

3. This is a Rumble, not a grammar lesson: Royal Rumble 1988. Joey looks at Vince McMahon’s answer to the Bunkhouse Stampede being on PPV with the first televised Royal Rumble on the USA network. A grammar lesson, a bench press record, a contract signing and the first Rumble are among the highlights. Joey also issues a Mea Culpa and talks about the Mandela Effect.

24. Tongue Twister and a Half: SNME January 1989. It’s Brutus VS. Bass for the hair, The Mega Powers are just holding it together, The Twin Towers look to end Hulk Hogan, Warrior VS. HTM rematch, The Red Rooster breaks free, and Mr. Perfect has the perfect move as Joey looks at the Saturday Night’s Main Event from January 1989.

25. Buying a Higher Number: Royal Rumble 1989. The crowd yells USA to two Canadians, Haku and Race battle for the crown, Rockin’ Robin pays tribute to her brothers, Sherri tries commentary, Jesse is always right, Warrior won’t sell for baby oil, the Mega Powers are tearing apart, and Ted DiBiase sets out to buy a Higher Number as Joey takes a look at the 1989 Royal Rumble.

45. I’m taking a Quantum Leap approach to this show: Royal Rumble 2011. Joey turns an awkward phrase, defends Matt Striker, gives a Quantum Leap shoutout, The Miz takes on Randy Orton, Edge can’t use the spear, the Raw GM makes rulings, two legends return, and the road to WrestleMania begins as Joey looks at the 2011 Royal Rumble.
