The Chairshot Staff Picks: WWE SummerSlam 2019

See who the staff picked as we head into The Biggest Party Of The Summer!

Published

on

SummerSlam is here, let the arguments begin over whether it or the Rumble are the number two PPV in WWE(one of my fav wrestling arguments). Plenty of big names and quality matchups to follow another homerun from the ladies and gentlemen in NXT. I’ll give you a Tunney special here before we get to the prognostications, this will be WWE’s best show of the year. Now, let’s dig out the old Magic8 ball and see if we can read Vincent Kennedy McMahon’s mind…

Goldberg v Dolph Ziggler

  • Abe Odeh – Goldberg
  • Bradley Jay – Goldberg
  • Bobby Fernandes – Goldberg
  • Carol Cassada – Goldberg
  • Harry Broadhurst – Goldberg
  • Mathew Sarpriacone – Goldberg
  • Rey Ca$h – Goldberg
  • Rob Bonnette – Goldberg
  • Scott Mcleod – Goldberg
  • Steve Cook – Goldberg
  • Steven Mitchell – Goldberg
  • Tiffany Carter – Goldberg
  • Miranda Morales – Goldberg
  • Patrick O’Dowd – Goldberg
  • Dave Ungar – Goldberg
  • Christopher Platt – Goldberg
  • DPP – Goldberg
  • Greg DeMarco – Goldberg

Tunney’s Take: Goldberg should be giving back while he still has something left to give. I would book Ziggler to absolutely dismantle Bill, and quickly. This could easily lead to a rematch giving WWE another big name for another PPV as they ramp up for FOX and the beginning of AEW’s weekly TV existence. Dolph Ziggler… why not him? A Ziggler/Lesnar feud could be just what the Dr. ordered. My pick is Dolph Ziggler

Trish Stratus v Charlotte Flair

  • Abe Odeh – Charlotte
  • Bradley Jay – Charlotte
  • Bobby Fernandes – Trish
  • Carol Cassada – Trish
  • Harry Broadhurst – Trish
  • Mathew Sarpriacone – Charlotte
  • Rey Ca$h – Charlotte
  • Rob Bonnette – Charlotte
  • Scott Mcleod – Charlotte
  • Steve Cook – Charlotte
  • Steven Mitchell – Charlotte
  • Tiffany Carter – Charlotte
  • Miranda Morales – Trish
  • Patrick O’Dowd – Charlotte
  • Dave Ungar – Charlotte
  • Christopher Platt – Charlotte
  • DPP – Charlotte
  • Greg DeMarco – Trish

Tunney’s Take: Charlotte. Charlotte! My pick is Charlotte (IT MAKES MORE SENSE.!)

Finn Balor v Bray Wyatt

  • Abe Odeh – Wyatt
  • Bradley Jay – Wyatt
  • Bobby Fernandes – Wyatt
  • Carol Cassada – Wyatt
  • Harry Broadhurst – Wyatt
  • Mathew Sarpriacone – Wyatt
  • Rey Ca$h – Wyatt
  • Rob Bonnette – Wyatt
  • Scott Mcleod – Wyatt
  • Steve Cook – Wyatt
  • Steven Mitchell – Wyatt
  • Tiffany Carter – Finn
  • Miranda Morales – Wyatt
  • Patrick O’Dowd – Wyatt
  • Dave Ungar – Wyatt
  • Christopher Platt – Wyatt
  • DPP – Wyatt
  • Greg DeMarco – Wyatt

Tunney’s Take: Here at TheChairshot.com we’re really glad that you’rr our friend, and this is a friendship that will never ever end because all you have to do is, LET US IN!! Fire Fly Funhouse to the spectacular new look/mask to the looooooong build (which I’m in favor of). All of the aforementioned to have The Fiend Bray Wyatt lose? Hell No! My pick is Bray Wyatt

The Chairshot: Bray Wyatt 18-1 #UseYourHead

Kevin Owens v Shane McMahon

  • Abe Odeh – Owens
  • Bradley Jay – Owens
  • Bobby Fernandes – Owens
  • Carol Cassada – Owens
  • Harry Broadhurst – Owens
  • Mathew Sarpriacone – Owens
  • Rey Ca$h – Owens
  • Rob Bonnette – Owens
  • Scott Mcleod – Owens
  • Steve Cook – Owens
  • Steven Mitchell – Owens
  • Tiffany Carter – Owens
  • Miranda Morales – Owens
  • Patrick O’Dowd – Shae
  • Dave Ungar – Owens
  • Christopher Platt – Shane
  • DPP – Owens
  • Greg DeMarco – Shane

Tunney’s Take: I see shenanigans galore here. Said shenanigans should lead to Kevin Owens getting screwed over yet again. Shane is one of WWE’s top heals right now and his momentum shouldn’t be stunted whatsoever. KO has enough steam and skill on the mic to absorb a loss here despite the stipulation. I’m looking for Owens to continue his outlaw/renegade streak. My pick is Shane McMahon

The Chairshot: Kevin Owens 16-3 #UseYourHead

Drew Gulak(c) v Oney Lorcan

  • Abe Odeh – Gulak
  • Bradley Jay – Gulak
  • Bobby Fernandes – Lorcan
  • Carol Cassada – Gulak
  • Harry Broadhurst – Gulak
  • Mathew Sarpriacone – Gulak
  • Rey Ca$h – Gulak
  • Rob Bonnette – Gulak
  • Scott Mcleod – Gulak
  • Steve Cook – Gulak
  • Steven Mitchell – Gulak
  • Tiffany Carter – Gulak
  • Miranda Morales – Gulak
  • Patrick O’Dowd – Gulak
  • Dave Ungar – Gulak
  • Christopher Platt – Gulak
  • DPP – Lorcan
  • Greg DeMarco – Gulak

Tunney’s Take: WWE needs to do something with 205Live better than what they are doing now. That’s it… that’s my analysis… that’s my take on this match. My pick is Drew Gulak

  • Miranda Morales – Bayley
  • Patrick O’Dowd – Bayley
  • Dave Ungar – Bayley

  • Bradley Jay – Becky
  • Bobby Fernandes – Becky
  • Carol Cassada – Becky

  • Rob Bonnette – Natalya
  • Scott Mcleod – Becky
  • Steve Cook – Becky
  • Steven Mitchell – Becky
  • Tiffany Carter – Becky
  • Miranda Morales – Becky
  • Patrick O’Dowd – Becky
  • Dave Ungar – Becky
  • Christopher Platt – Becky
  • DPP – Becky
  • Greg DeMarco – Becky

Tunney’s Take: If this event wasn’t in Canada Trish wouldn’t be wrestling and Nattie wouldn’t have this mach. My pick is Becky Lynch.

The Chairshot: Becky Lynch 17-2 #UseYourHead

Kofi Kingston (c) v Randy Orton

  • Abe Odeh – Kofi
  • Bradley Jay – Orton
  • Bobby Fernandes – Orton
  • Carol Cassada – Orton
  • Harry Broadhurst – Kofi
  • Mathew Sarpriacone – Kofi

  • Rob Bonnette – Kofi
  • Scott Mcleod – Orton

  • Patrick O’Dowd – Kofi
  • Dave Ungar – Kofi
  • Christopher Platt – Kofi
  • DPP – Kofi
  • Greg DeMarco – Orton

Tunney’s Take: This is a TOUGH one. Randy provides a viable source to allow WWE to take the belt off Kofi but, I just can’t bring myself to picking the viper here. It was no mystery to me or anyone that ALWAYS uses their head that Kofi was definitely carrying the strap till at least this very show.  No trouble, just paradise tonight for the New Day member. My pick is Kofi Kingston

The Chairshot: Kofi Kingston 14-5 #UseYourHead

Brock Lesnar (c) v Seth Rollins

  • Abe Odeh – Brock
  • Bradley Jay – Brock
  • Bobby Fernandes – Brock
  • Carol Cassada – Brock
  • Harry Broadhurst – Rollins
  • Mathew Sarpriacone – Rollins
  • Rey Ca$h – Rollins
  • Rob Bonnette – Brock
  • Scott Mcleod – Brock
  • Steve Cook – Rollins
  • Steven Mitchell – Rollins
  • Tiffany Carter – Rollins
  • Miranda Morales – Brock
  • Patrick O’Dowd – Brock
  • Dave Ungar – Rollins
  • Christopher Platt – Rollins
  • DPP – Brock
  • Greg DeMarco – Brock

Tunney’s Take: Seth Rollins is a very talented individual in every aspect of pro wrestling but, this isn’t about Seth. Another sizable run with the belt for Lesnar could pay huge dividends down the road, and along it, for WWE. More viewers, more consumers, more media attention and at the end IF booked correctly a giant rub for the RIGHT guy. My pick is Brock Lesnar

Chris King: The Wyatt Sicks’ Wasted Potential By WWE

Chris King takes a look at the WWE and their wasted potential of Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks faction.

Published

Wyatt Sicks WWE

Chris King takes a look at the WWE and their wasted potential of Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks faction.

It’s that time of the year again, folks; it’s unfortunate and downright awful that so many WWE superstars got released today. I’m not going to list all of them, but I am going to talk about one of my favorite factions, 

The Wyatt Sicks. Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, Erik Rowan, and Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy) were something special. After Bo’s brother Bray Wyatt’s tragic passing, WWE felt like there was a hole that needed to be filled. Wyatt was one of the most creative and brilliant characters, and Bo would be taking over his brother’s concept and bringing it to life. In 2024, at the end of an incredible documentary highlighting Wyatt’s career and struggles, Bo appeared on the screen portrayed as Uncle Howdy. The last time Uncle Howdy was seen on-screen was at the 2023 Royal Rumble, where Wyatt defeated LA Knight in a Pitch Black Match. Howdy jumped off a structure onto Knight. 

This post-credit scene sparked so much speculation and excitement that Wyatt’s brother would carry on his legacy and possibly debut the faction that was Wyatt’s concept. On the June 17th episode of Monday Night Raw, The Wyatt Sicks made their dramatic debut ,destroying the backstage area as well as “murdering” Chad Gable. It was such an iconic arrival for Howdy as he made his menacing walk from the back into the audience who were chanting “Holy Shit.” The Sicks and American Made (Chad Gable and The Creed Brothers) battled for months, with The Sicks being victorious. On the September 9th episode of Raw, The Sicks defeated them, with Howdy getting the win with Sister Abigail. 

The following year, The Sicks would move over to Friday Night SmackDown, and it seemed like WWE had a plan in place. They would win the tag team championships from The Street Profits and start to look dominant. Now, what should have happened next is Howdy should have won the United States title. The Sicks could have held all the gold over on the blue brand, but it never happened. The Sicks entered into a never-ending feud with The MFT’s (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, and Talla Tonga.) It started off exciting, and the WWE Universe was red-hot for their interactions. 

After months of repetitive matches and The MFT’s stealing their lantern, the feud grew tiresome and boring. Even Tama asked Solo why they are still holding onto the lantern, as it was destroying them as a whole. Finally on the SmackDown before Mania, Tama

gave the lantern back to Howdy against Solo’s wishes. Please explain to me why both factions fought almost every single week instead of just having one final blowoff match at WrestleMania. 

It should have been either a massive street fight or a falls count anywhere match on the grandest stage of them all. Instead, it turned into a meaningless week-after-week extravaganza that benefited no one. The MFTs won the rivalry, and The Sicks don’t even work for WWE anymore. This was the same criminalized creative process that Wyatt dealt with during his first run in the company. 

We’ll never know how much of a dangerous force The Wyatt Sicks could have been in the WWE. For all their careers’ sake, I hope they stay far away from the company for as long as possible. Every superstar that was cut deserves better!

Chris King: Bloodline Saga: Is This the Right Call For WWE?

Chris King questions the WWE’s logic in setting up Jacob Fatu as the next challenger for World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns 

Published

WWE Jacob Fatu Roman Reigns Backlash

Chris King questions the WWE’s logic in setting up Jacob Fatu as the next challenger for World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is once again World Heavyweight Champion after his dominant win over CM Punk at WrestleMania 42. On the following night on Monday Night Raw, The OG Bloodline came back together as a well-oiled machine as The Usos stood side by side with Roman. With the WWE Universe asking who would be the first to challenge “The Tribal Chief,” Jacob Fatu shocked the world by answering the call. 

Fatu is running hot after his impressive win over Drew McIntyre and feels like he is ready to become the new world champion. This bloodline segment ended Raw, and it picked right back up on SmackDown with even Solo Sikoa and the MFTs involved. This is now two shows that have been centered around The Bloodline saga, and it’s made me question whether or not WWE should be retelling this story. 

The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa) ran WWE for over four years as Reigns’ henchmen, doing his dirty work to retain his title. Even though Roman has declared he doesn’t want Jey and Jimmy to serve him, it sure seems like WWE are spinning their wheels. Fatu could add a whole new chapter into the story, even if he’s not able to beat Roman at Backlash. “The Samoan Werewolf” could be forced to do the same thing as Jey did all those years ago and fall in line. 

 In my opinion, I feel like Fatu should be challenging for the Undisputed WWE Championship because that’s a title I feel like he should win. I understand standing up to your blood and trying to prove you’re the best, but I don’t think this is the right move. It feels like 2022 all over again, as The Bloodline is the central focus on both shows. If Fatu doesn’t win, what happens to all his momentum he’s been building over the last two years? 

Why did WWE make this the best choice for storyline purposes? Why couldn’t creative have come up with a different challenger for Roman? There are so many other superstars that could challenge The Tribal Chief, such as Rusev, Bron Breakker, Gunther, or even a returning Sheamus. 

I just can’t help but question WWE’s logic here, and it kind of reminds me of all the times The Shield reunited. Could WWE be pushing the same storyline too many times here? Could the WWE Universe get tired of this rinse and repeat cycle of The Bloodline Saga?

Are we about to see all the weekly episodes solely focused on The Bloodline again? Will it be cinema… Yes. Is there still money in The Bloodline… Yes. Was it the right call? That’s to be determined!
