Cup of Joe Wrestling Show Episode 9: More Sheepherders, Less Bushwhackers: Clash 2: It has always been wrestling that gets Joey through hard times, and amid concerns about the coronavirus, he looks at Clash of the Champions II, Miami Mayhem from Jim Crockett Promotions and the NWA. It features an overly long signing segment aboard a yacht, Lex Luger getting attacked by the Horsemen, Steve Williams proves why he should never do commentary, and more. Joey also discusses trying to lower his coffee consumption, why people should be more like the Sheepherders and less like the Bushwhackers, and why are so many wrestling podcasts taking shots at Conrad Thompson?

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.

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.

7. Should Have Shot the Snake: WrestleMania IV: Joey talks about one of his comfortable shoe podcasts, Donald Trump, swimming, Hulk Hogan not thinking through a promo, who Ric Flair was wrestling on the day Joey was born, and tells about his fear of snakes while looking at WrestleMania IV.

Continuing the mystery

I like these mysteries. I a, intrigued by Nameless and hope we find out more about him, his abilities, and the group he works for.

The Praying Mantis Bride by Dean Koontz

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A deadly black widow has eliminated three husbands and counting. But Nameless knows her one weakness. To bring truth and its consequences to her crimes, the vigilante must spin a web of his own in part three of the Nameless series.

Lucia—current last name, Rickenbah—has made a fortune by marrying rich men who tend to drop dead. But the superstitious blonde believes in more than money and murder. Nameless’s job is to scare a confession out of Lucia, and as the psychological warfare escalates, even he may be in for a shock.
I did not like this one as much as the other one’s, but it held my interest for about an hour. Still hope that we get some clue as to what is going on as well as what happened to Nameless before this started.
