Tiffany MC checks in with her takes on AEW Full Gear! Did she throw in the towel? Go lights out? Read on and see!

Full Gear

It’s time! Who will be standing after Full Gear?

Britt Baker vs Bea Priestley

I don’t think any of us really thought this match was going to happen or weren’t very excited about it until Britt Baker cut the promo of her career so far on Wednesday night.

This match was much better than I think a lot of us were expecting from either woman. This definitely had the feel of a grudge match and it was great to see them just tearing each other apart. Also, kudos to Britt for doing a great match while battling the flu, she’s a tougher chick than me, who barely wanted to get off the couch because of a cold. She didn’t rip Priestley’s jaw off, but she proved her point: Don’t fuck with Dr. Britt Baker. I am intrigued by Awesome Kong attacking Priestley, though, I would’ve thought Priestley would be someone Brandi Rhodes would want on side. Guess we will see.

Young Bucks vs Proud n Powerful

It’s the first Inner Circle vs Elite match of the night and it was a barnburner! The battle on who truly is the best tag team in the world didn’t disappoint as both teams brought their A-games. Young Bucks were great, imperiled babyfaces, and having Rock n Roll Express at ringside was a nice touch. I’m a little surprised that PnP won, but it was such a great match, that I don’t think it matters…except for the win/loss records.

I’m glad Sammy Guevara has embraced the douchebag role he seems born to play. I also love Rock n Roll Express getting some revenge on PnP and Inner Circle.

PAC vs Hangman Adam Page

This is the rubber match of this feud that started back in May and got sidelined by PAC.

This match was just as good as their previous ones, in my opinion, and definitely felt like a serious grudge match. PAC did everything he could to win the match by hook or by crook and Page showed he’d learned from their previous encounters and was able to counter many of PAC’s tricks and was able to get a decisive win over the Bastard, which is sur

Joey Janela vs Shawn Spears (with Tully Blanchard)

This storyline kind of came out of nowhere on Being the Elite and AEW Dark. Sad to say, Tully Blanchard is more over than Spears.

I really wanted to enjoy this match but I don’t. There just didn’t seem to be enough build for it to make me really care about these two feuding…or maybe that was my cold medicine. I will say it was nice to see Earl Hebner refereeing again, I was beginning to wonder what happened to him. I will say Spear tying Janela to the ringpost by his hair was pretty ingenious. I’m kind of bummed that Janela lost, but I think AEW is set on trying to make Spears a top heel, in spite of no one really caring about him.

Kip Sabian

Well, Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford (I think) are aligning which should be interesting down the road.

Triple Threat Match for the AEW Tag Team Championship – SCU vs Lucha Brothers vs Private Party

I’m still not sure how to feel about this being a Triple Threat Match. Given the controversial ending, Lucha Brothers should’ve been given a one on one rematch and Private Party getting a match with the winner on Dynamite.

That said, this was a REALLY good match! Everybody brought their A-games to the match, however, SCU would pull out the win and stand tall, but the Lucha Brothers weren’t going to take defeat lightly. This feud is NOT over, even with Daniels going in for the save.

AEW Women’s Championship Match – Riho vs Emi Sakura

It is student vs teacher for the Women’s Championship. This was another match with very little build, but with an interesting story. Emi Sakura trained Riho when Riho was just a little girl and now it’s Mentor vs Protege for the AEW Women’s championship.

This match was SOOO good. It was very technical and had pretty good storytelling from both women. In the end, the student won this match, but they got a standing ovation from the crowd. I hope we’ll see these women lock up down the road because this match was excellent.

AEW Championship Match – Chris Jericho vs Cody – If Cody loses, he will never again challenge for the AEW Championship

Well, this is TECHNICALLY the main event of the night and it’s for all the marbles. Our judges are: Dean Malenko, Arn Anderson, and Great Muta. All former WCW stars and all very familiar to the Baltimore crowd.

I really wasn’t sure about this match considering all the bells and whistles they’d added to it, but it was actually pretty good. Even the spot where Cody got busted open, which looks like it was done the hard way, but I’m REALLY hoping was a overdone blade job.

I will give both men credit for doing the best they could with what they had. Jericho isn’t nearly as sharp as he used to be but both guys gave an amazing performance. Loved Cody’s mom getting a shot in, that was fun. I think we all expected MJF to turn on Cody and cost him the match, I don’t think anyone called ‘MJF throwing in the towel and THEN turning on Cody’ as the finish. That was a swerve. Be that as it may, Cody can no longer challenge for the AEW Championship, so now what do we do?

Lights Out Match – Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley

Well, this is the match I signed up for, but having sat through that Jericho/Cody match, I’m even more scared it won’t live up to the hype. Loved that Mox came out through the crowd, a nod to his Dean Ambrose/Shield days. I’m not thrilled with everyone discounting Mox’s wrestling skills. I’m also not happy that he’s not wrestling in those shorts.

I have to give Omega credit, I didn’t think he really understood just what he signed up for, but he took those barb wire shots like a pro. I also disparaged using a barbwire wrapped broom, but I’m sure Mox was grateful for the give when Omega hit him in the head with it.

This match was SOOOOO GOOD! Omega bit off a lot more than he could chew, but he was a game little fucker. Not sure what he was expecting to accomplish with a board covered in mousetraps, but you do you, dude. Aside from the sheer brutality, there was some great storytelling, like the Bucks and Page trying to stop Omega from going too far, not that he listened.

Dudes, I’ve watched some crazy ass matches, and I’ve never seen many THIS crazy! I’ve never seen one where they literally took the ring apart! Did I mention how much I LOVED this match? I did? Well, I’ll say it again! I LOVED this match! I’m glad Mox won, but at the same point, the match was so good, it doesn’t matter. WHAT. A. MATCH!

That’s it for Tiffany’s AEW Takes! Tune in Wednesday for Dynamite!

Chairshot Staff Picks: Money In The Bank

Extra, extra read all about it… Chairshot Staff picks are in!!!

Published

2 weeks ago

June 6, 2025

PC Tunney

Sing it with me… money money money money moneeeeeeeeeyeeeeee… everybody’s got a price! MONEY IN THE BANK is here!!! How money will our staff picks be?!?

AJ – Roxanne Perez
Andrew – Stephanie Vaquer – *Bubba Sparxxx Impression* I don’t tell stories, I let them tell theyself.
Dave – Guilia – A stacked field but I just like her here.
DJ – Naomi
DPP – Roxanne Perez
Jason – Alexa Bliss
Patrick – Roxanne Perez
Rey – Naomi – If Naomi loses, we riot!
Rob – Naomi
Greg – Alexa Bliss – Bliss has had huge reactions since returning and is moving a ton of merch. While I can see them wanting to build Roxanne Perez, Giulia, or Stephanie Vaquer, I think Alexa Bliss.

Tunney’s Take: Rhea Ripley – I’ll make my case short and sweet… Mami in the Bank! You can’t leave that money on the table.

Chairshot Pick – Tie – Naomi 3 & Roxanne Perez 3 (Alexa Bliss 2, Giulia 1, Rhea Ripley 1, Stephanie Vaquer 1)

AJ – LA Knight
Andrew – El Grande Americano – Feels correct given his push and the fact he’s over.
Dave – Seth Rollins – Got to push that new faction.
DJ – LA Knight
DPP – El Grande Americano
Jason – LA Knight
Patrick – Solo Sikoa
Rey – LA Knight – Looks like another push, and he does have history with Cena.
Rob – Solo Sikoa
Greg – Seth Rollins – This company is extremely high in the El Grande Americano gimmick, but this match comes down to Seth Rollins or LA Knight. Given the Rollins storyline, it’s his briefcase to win.

Tunney’s Take: El Grande Americano – Picture this: Chad Gable wins the AAA Mega Championship and El Grande Americano wins MITB! WHAT A SATURDAY in LA!!!

Chairshot Pick – LA Knight 4 (El Grande Americano 3, Seth Rollins 2, Solo Sikoa 2)

AJ – Becky Lynch – Sadly
Andrew – Becky Lynch – I still don’t care about Lyra.
Dave – Lyra Valkyria – Starting to warm up to her and Becky has a lot to do with that.
DJ – Lyra Valkyria
DPP – Becky Lynch
Jason – Becky Lynch
Patrick – Lyra Valkyria
Rey – Becky Lynch – Put some fire on the Irish Beef.
Rob – Becky Lynch
Greg – Becky Lynch – I don’t think you do a rematch here just to have Becky lose again. Unless Bayley shows up to help Lyra.

Tunney’s Take: Becky Lynch – A big part of me feels that winning this title checks off a major box for Becks in her HOF career.

Chairshot Pick – Becky Lynch 8-3

AJ – Cena & Paul
Andrew – Rhodes & Uso – Easy way for Cena to lose without eating the pinfall.
Dave – Rhodes & Uso – Get the QB back on the winning track.
DJ – Rhodes & Uso
DPP – Rhodes & Uso
Jason – Cena & Paul
Patrick – Cena & Paul
Rey – Rhodes & Uso – Heels usually lose these kinds of matches. Logan takes the pin.
Rob – Cena & Paul
Greg – Rhodes & Uso – I hope Jey isn’t an afterthought here like Cody was last fall when he was paired up with Roman. I think Cody pins Cena to set up Cody-Cena 2 at SummerSlam.

Tunney’s Take: Cena & Paul – I don’t think Cena is involved in another loss until he loses the WWE Championship. I also think Logan Paul is NOT done trying to capture Jey Uso’s World Heavyweight Championship. …Travis Scott in the house?

Chairshot Pick – 6-5 Rhodes & Uso

Chairshot Staff Picks: Backlash St. Louis

Chairshot Staff picks!!!

Published

1 month ago

May 9, 2025

PC Tunney

May is upon us and with that, so is Backlash from St. Louis! What does the first PLE after WrestleMania have in store for the WWE Universe? Let’s see if the Chairshot Staff can properly interpret the crystal ball of rasslin’ future.

AJ – Pat MacAfee – Gunther has to start losing control and who better than an announcer.
Andrew – Pat MacAfee – Goldberg getting involved does seem correct here.
Dave – Gunther – He’s not losing to a broadcaster.
DJ – Gunther – Pat is sent to the shadow realm until football season is over.
DPP – Gunther – Post match beat down leads to Pat time off.
Jason – Gunther – One massive spot and or bump from Pat.
Patrick – Gunther
Rey – Gunther – RIP MacAfee, t’was a good life.
Rob – Gunther
Greg – Pat MacAfee – Why? Goooooldbeeerrrrrgggggg!

Tunney’s Take: Gunther – Seems like the right pick here. Pat may be getting some time off and Gunther needs more heat.

Chairshot Pick – GUNTHER 8-3

AJ – Lyra Valkyria – Becky’s hopefully putting her over, still mad about Dakota.
Andrew – Becky Lynch – I have no real interest in Lyra currently.
Dave – Becky Lynch – Lyra is boring AF!
DJ – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley interferes.
DPP – Becky Lynch – Becky cheats and steals the title.
Jason – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley costs Becks.
Patrick – Becky Lynch
Rey – Becky Lynch – Story needs to jump up a bit, Becky Charlotte’s Lyra.
Rob – Lyra Valkyria
Greg – Becky Lynch – It’s been fun, Lyra. (It kinda hasn’t)

Tunney’s Take: Lyra Valkyria – Bayley’s interference should set up some type of program with Becky as we head towards Summer(Slam).

Chairshot Pick – BECKY LYNCH 6-5

AJ – Jacob Fatu – Great way to put him over w/ two former WHCs and LA Knight.
Andrew – Jacob Fatu – He’s Jacob Fatu!
Dave – Jacob Fatu – Too soon to pull the belt off him.
DJ – Jacob Fatu – Priest and LA can’t decide who’s is bigger.
DPP – Jacob Fatu – Your hardcore match, tables and chairs involved.
Jason – Jacob Fatu – The Champ retains due to or in spite of Solo.
Patrick – Jacob Fatu
Rey – Jacob Fatu – All gas. No brakes. Ain’t losing.
Rob – Jacob Fatu
Greg – Jacob Fatu – Someone from The Samoan Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.

Tunney’s Take: Jacob Fatu – Uncle Mo is on Fatu’s side and other than Knight, I don’t see Drew or Priest holding the US title in the current circumstances of this title’s landscape.

Chairshot Pick – JACOB FATU 11-0

AJ – Dominic Mysterio – Judgement Day shenanigans just leading up to Finn turning on Dom later.
Andrew – Penta – Dom’s fine having a short reign, could also work for pushing AAA.
Dave – Dominic Mysterio – He’s probably more over than Penta.
DJ – Dominic Mysterio – Dirty Dom takes home the gold and the girl.
DPP – Dominic Mysterio – Big Head helps Dom pull out the win.
Jason – Dominic Mysterio – By hook and crook.
Patrick – Dominic Mysterio
Rey – Dominic Mysterio – Latino Heat keeps burning. Finn gets closer to the edge.
Rob – Dominic Mysterio
Greg – Dominic Mysterio – Someone from The Guerrero Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.

Tunney’s Take: Dominic Mysterio – That belt looks good with the king of chicken tendys. I can see Penta and Rey reforming as a tag team sooner than later.

Chairshot Pick – DOMINIC MYSTERIO 10-1

AJ – John Cena – Why? Cena wins, lol.
Andrew – John Cena – Shenanigans ensue so it’s not a clean win.
Dave – John Cena – The last time is now.
DJ – John Cena – Randy hears voices telling him he needs an Attitude Adjustment.
DPP – John Cena – Cena tries to cheat but the ref doesn’t call for a DQ.
Jason – John Cena – Nefarious means, Randy not ready for Evil John Cena.
Patrick – John Cena
Rey – John Cena – Cena just counting down the dates. Should be fun though.
Rob – John Cena
Greg – John Cena – You know they want Cody to be the hero in the end.

Tunney’s Take: Randy Orton – Once upon a time Randy got himself intentionally disqualified and it cost John. Saturday, history repeats itself with a 180-degree twist. Cena retains via Orton DQ victory. This time, Travis Scott’s appearance takes care of that task.

Chairshot Pick – JOHN CENA 10-1
