From the WOW to the WTF; Tiffany breaks out all of her thoughts regarding WWE and AEW!

WWE

For all my thoughts on the constant WTF of WWE

So, Kevin Owens is injured in his Mania match and Seth gets blamed, even though no one is quite sure where in the match Owens hurt his ankle.
Jimmy Uso being out for injury SUCKS!
I find it odd that with all the ‘Best of WWE’ stuff, there’s nothing on The Rock or Undertaker. It can’t be just that it’s the ‘Best of the Past Decade’ when they’ve got Austin, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels in there.
If you haven’t had the chance to see Carmella’s Superstar impersonations, I HIGHLY recommend them.
The series about the Undertaker looks REALLY good.
Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae vs Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch is something I could go for.
Disney buying any part of WWE would be a ‘Turner buys WCW’ level disaster.
I’m still not big on them doing two MitB matches at once.
WWE edits Roman out of the Seth Rollins cash-in to make Seth look strong by implying that he pinned Lesnar, but then feature that match in the ‘Best of Roman Reigns’ where it’ll be revealed as a lie.
I don’t think Seth Rollins is so much a problematic person as he is someone people almost wait on to say something so they can complain about what a whiny person he is.
Last Ride is SUCH a good show.

Raw

MVP is always nice to see.
A VIP Lounge with Asuka, Baszler, and Jax is enough to make me change the channel. Or click Fast Forward.
Okay, Baszler and Asuka taking out Jax was cool. Still don’t like any of them.
I’m really disappointed that Shelton Benjamin didn’t get to advance in the Gauntlet match.
WWE really wants us to like Humberto Carrillo, but he has no grab. He’s got the skills, says the right things, but there’s nothing interesting about him.
Okay, so all that build for Lashley to get DQ’d?
Styles was resurrected with a mean streak.
Styles being in the MitB is a good idea.
Styles not accepting defeat possibly keeps the feud with Taker open.
Nope, still hate this gimmick.
MVP as a manager is interesting.
We’re getting more Edge vs Orton.
I’m not thrilled Alexander and Ricochet were beaten. Hopefully, it won’t hurt them long term.
Viking Raiders vs Street Profits was REALLY good. I’m a little surprised that it wasn’t for the title.
Liv Morgan vs Charlotte Flair? I’m down.
Charlotte wins, the Women’s Division loses.

NXT

If all Kross and Bordeaux have to offer is the entrance, they’re not going to last long.
Flair vs Shirai – No shock. Ripley wanting her rematch – no shock.
Cole retaining due to UE interference – no shock.
Gargano as a heel is annoying. Candice needs to stand on her own.
Green vs Li was really good.

SmackDown

Mandy needs to find someone to do her roots.
Kudos to Mandy for selling the injury that is supposedly fake.
Mandy vs Sonya was REALLY good.
I’m intrigued by Jeff Hardy vs Sheamus
Boss-Hug vs Tamina/Evans was REALLY good.
If the Hacker isn’t Mustafa Ali, I’m going to be pissed.

Money in the Bank 2020

Jeff Hardy, no matter how many times he messes up, will always be great and be my inner teenager’s crush.
Hardy vs Cesaro was REALLY good!
Not a fan of New Day still being tag champs. We need the Usos.
Lashley vs Truth stunk. Why was this on the main card, but Hardy vs Cesaro was the kickoff show match?
Bayley vs Tamina was really good. I like that Bayley won sneaky.
Well, that Strowman/Wyatt match gave me a headache.
McIntyre vs Rollins was good, but there’s no path forward for Rollins now.
They should’ve found a way for Sasha Banks to enter the Women’s Money in the Bank. Not here for more overrated Asuka nonsense.
They aren’t serious, right? They aren’t really going to have Otis win a Heavyweight championship, right?

AEW

Here are my AEW musings, especially since they’ll be LIVE this week!

Cody continuing to swear that he won’t challenge for the AEW Title doesn’t make sense.
If the TNT Championship isn’t a TV Title, then what is it?
The Dynamite card is: Cody Rhodes vs Joey Janela, Kenny Omega and Matt Hardy teaming up against the Inner Circle, and Jon Moxley vs Frankie Kazarian. Good card.
Fuck Chris Cruise. AEW now has to pay $10k over the Moxley/Omega match because he decided to complain to the Maryland State Athletic Commission. Fuck that guy.
I’m intrigued by the AEW Casino Ladder match.
Darby Allin as the first entrant isn’t a surprise. I want him vs Mox II
Jericho’s assertion that he’s the Best in the World is both on brand for his character and the God’s honest truth.

Dark

Ryan Pyles vs Random Dark Order Goon. I could’ve sworn it was supposed to be Kip Sabian.
Okay, the Twitter tells me that RDOG is Preston Vance. Good to know.
Haven’t seen anyone win off a spinebuster for a long time.
Shawn Dean vs Sammy Guevara.
Guevara has improved so much.
Guevara vs Dean was REALLY good. Hope Dean sticks around after things get back to normal.
Kip Sabian vs Colt Cabana. Yawn.
Colt Cabana is a goof. And I don’t mean that in a nice way.
Good match, glad Sabian won, by hook or crook.

Dynamite

Rhodes vs Allin was magnificent.
Give me AEW’s ‘Wrestlers in the crowd’ over the empty Performance Center.
Janela’s hair is a choice. Not a good one, but a choice.
Not sure who the guy in the suit in the crowd was, but he’s awesome!
Janela is SUCH a great talent who should be used more.
Why does Nyla lick her hand? That grosses me out.
Nyla might be the champ, but Britt Baker is the STAR of the AEW Women’s Division.
MJF and Spears are so full of BS.
Not a fan of Mox being on early as champ, but I’m guessing the big tag match is going to go long.
Mox and Kazarian needs to happen every week. Thanks
Brandi Rhodes is my hero. Get him, girl!
I think the only reason the snake spot didn’t freak me out is that I’ve watched Roberts do that for thirty years and am confident that it wouldn’t have been cleared if he hadn’t promised to keep Brandi safe. Plus, it was a small python.
Tag Team Street fight was FANTASTIC!
Kenny Omega getting to do Poetry in Motion with Matt must’ve been a big fanboy moment.
This shit is fucking WILD! Love Hardcore Wrestling.
Matt Hardy went through all his personalities in this match, plus a clothes change in an ice cooler.
Le Sex Gods pinned Omega.
Next Week’s Card: Jungle Express vs Best Friends, Women’s Match, Jericho in action, Brodie Lee vs Chris Daniels, Lance Archer and Jake Roberts. Looks good!

Misc.

These are my thoughts and opinions that don’t fit in any other category

People who hate on a wrestler’s spouse just because they are with the wrestler, are assholes.
The Twitter wrestling community is either really toxic or really wonderful, there seems to be no in-between.
The ‘comedian’ who called wrestling fans a very insensitive name, is a fucking fool.
Alberto Del Rio is a piece of shit. End of discussion.

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

In closing I want to thank everyone on the panel for participating with their picks! You can follow each prognosticator/podcaster on X @ the handles below. We all enjoy Pro Wrestling so remember three things… be respectful of others, comparison is the thief of joy and HAVE FUN!

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
