Tiffany gives her opinions for WWE and AEW’s current product!

WWE

This is for all my musings about the constant state of ‘What the fuck’ that is WWE.

WWE still using people they’ve released because they’re still paying them is shady AF.
Love that many of the released superstars are making money off t-shirts.
Remember how excited we all were over the Women’s Tag Titles? Yeah, I miss that.
Nia Jax is a menace to the Women’s locker room.
If you ever want to know why WWE is lukewarm on dealing with bullying in its own house, listen to the stories of how Howard Finkel was treated.
One day, Vince’s pursuit of mainstream stars at the expense of his roster and core fans is going to bite him in the ass, HARD.
So WWE spent a ton of money and buried a popular champion, so they could have Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez for the WWE Title, and then released Velasquez without the match taking place, is the biggest crock of shit ever. Kofi got squashed in less than a minute for nothing.

RAW

Contract signings always go badly. This is gospel in WWE
I like that MVP is back, but more as a Teddy Long type figure, playa.
Samoa Joe becoming a permanent part of RAW commentary should be a thing.
The Men’s Money in the Bank Match feels a little flat to me.
VIP Lounge is basically SmackDown plus about ten years and about 20lbs weight gain apiece.
Zelina’s Familia isn’t grabbing me. They come across as a bunch of posers and bullies.
Well, best thing about the inevitable six man tag match is that they didn’t need a twenty minute promo to get to it. The rest of it was boring.
Apollo Crews vs Andrade for the US Title. I legit just yawned.
Nia Jax vs Shayna Baszler vs Asuka. The only winner will be the doctors.
Yeah, that women’s match was terrible.
Lana and Lashley are *GAG*.
Someone really loves Liv Morgan and I’m so happy about it. Morgan vs Riott was fabulous!
Nia Jax is terrible.
Viking Raiders had a MUCH better promo than whatever that was last week.
Why is Jinder Mahal coming back? Why can’t he stay gone?
Kayla Braxton needs to start slapping the shit out of people, starting with Garza.
Andrade vs Crews was great.
Ricochet and Cedric Alexander remain the best part of the show.
MVP managing a team against Alexander and Ricochet is intriguing.
The biggest problem I have with this Rollins/McIntyre feud is that I don’t see WWE taking the title off McIntyre this early but I can’t see what they could do with Rollins if he loses.

NXT

Candice LeRae as a heel, is MAGNIFICENT! Gargano…I’m not so sure.
Wicked Step Sister is a NASTY move. Ouch.
Mia Yim vs Charlotte was good, but it felt like a waste since we all knew Yim was going to lose.
If Karrion Cross and Scarlett Bordeaux are going to be targeting Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae, like it was hinted a couple of weeks ago, who is the heel?
It’ll be interesting how the accusations against Velveteen Dream will affect the NXT Championship match.

SmackDown

Daniel Bryan is someone who gets annoying very quickly, face or heel.
I’ll be so glad when the King Corbin gimmick is done.
Doing both MITB matches at the same time is a bad idea. You could get two male winners or two female winners.
I still am not into Wyatt vs Strowman.
I prefer AEW’s squash matches to WWE’s. The Jobbers at least get some offense in.
I hope this retrospective on Jeff Hardy is actually leading to something.
So, instead of doing a positive LGBTQ storyline with Rose and Deville, we’re getting Deville as a jealous, crazy, lesbian who had an unrequited crush on her BFF. Am I getting this right?
Carmella is in Money in the Bank, but I’m still hopeful that Sasha Banks will get in somehow.
I miss the Usos.
I hope Sasha makes it so Lacey can’t compete and takes her spot.
At least Otis is in MITB.

AEW

If you want to hear what I’m thinking about AEW, here you go.

I don’t get why smarks are so hardcore about AEW putting out a video game after seeing the hell mess that WWE 2k20 was and they’re a BILLION dollar company.
I like Tony Khan, but him getting into an argument on Twitter with a former member of the Jags team is yikes.
I think the benefit of the women not being as featured in AEW as they are in WWE is that they’re getting time to get better and be on par with WWE, Impact, and ROH.
I love Aubrey Edwards’ new shirt and fully plan on buying one.
Deonna Purrazzo in AEW would be a HUGE get for them. She’s an amazing competitor.
The fact that Cody Rhodes had to wait four years to be able to use his name, while Brandi and Dustin could with no difficulty, is a crock. Glad he’s got it back.

Dark

Card: Shawn Dean vs Jimmy Havoc, Lee Johnson and Musa vs Best Friends.
Looks like AEW is giving tryouts to these guys. I’m for it.
Loving that Dasha Gonzalez is ring announcing.
Havoc comes from the same part of London as the Crachit Family in ‘A Christmas Carol’.
Good match. Havoc actually did pretty well.
I could’ve SWORN they said three matches, but we’re at our main event.
Really good match. Not sure where Cassidy was, but BFs didn’t need him.

Dynamite

Cody/Allin going first is a surprise. Not a bad surprise, but a surprise.
Brandi’s Rockabilly thing doesn’t really suit her. I want her back as a heel.
Cody just sent Allin straight into his wife, or was that an accident?
Britt helping Allin was odd, but if it leads to Britt vs Brandi, I’m all for it.
I know people are wet hen mad about Cody winning, but I’m okay with it. It’s past time for Cody to be champion in AEW and the TNT title is perfect. The weird finish doesn’t hurt Allin and builds Cody’s heel turn.
I want SO much to like Scorpio Sky, but I just don’t. I really don’t like anyone in SCU except Christopher Daniels and his character annoys me.
So, MJF is a hypochondriac. Never heard of a hangnail hurting someone’s neck.
Musa’s going to get killed.
Wardlow’s physique when he’s not in the suit is so disappointing.
Again, jobbers at least get a match before getting killed.
Wardlow’s F-5 looks a little sloppy compared to the other guy who does it.
Jericho on the stationary bike in sequins is a riot.
‘Bubbly Bunch’ is actually really funny.
I can’t take Hager seriously as a badass when he dresses like such a nerd.
This is actually really fun, until they picked a fight with Jericho’s dad, and whoever the freak with the ultra-violet dildo was.
Why are we doing tags in a No DQ tag match. There’s no DQ, the ref can’t enforce the tag.
Britt Baker is actually hilarious.
Adam Cole’s first appearance on Dynamite.
Marko Stunt is going to get killed.
Yup. RIP.
Love Mox keeping the fans’ spirits up. Love the kudos to Renee.
Mox calling Hager a bitch.
AEW is LIVE next week and so will MOX!
Mox never fails to make me laugh. Do what the man says: Call your grandmother, provided that she’s still alive. Ouija boards are not for playing with.
Rhodes/Archer is every bit as nasty as I thought it would be.
So, we’re getting Cody vs Archer. Guess Rhodes vs Rhodes will have to wait.

Misc

This section is for all the things that don’t fit into other categories

Oliver Luck suing Vince over his release RIGHT before the XFL went under is hilarious.
Michael Bennett teasing a return to ROH fills me with joy. Reunite The Kingdom!
People are still trying to claim Jon Moxley promised WWE that he was just taking time off. He never said any such thing. Stop making shit up!
Someone wigging out over an NWO shirt is peak 2020.
Jon Moxley and Roman Reigns continuing to support each other even though they’re in different promotions gives me ALL the feels.

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
