Tiffany’s Takes: November 2-8, 2020

With a few big events this weekend, Tiffany gives her thoughts about some of the major topics!

Jon Moxley

What the fuck kind of bullshit is this when you FINALLY have a confrontation between the contenders for your World Championship and then say they can’t get physical?! HOWEVER, I really enjoyed that segment. You could feel the tension, but both guys were good boys and didn’t get physical. Mox being chill while riling Kingston up was sublime. The crack about being burned by loyalty hurt, not gonna lie.

Roman Reigns

Yeah, this shit is getting dark. We’re coming out The Godfather and heading to Cultland. I’m not mad at Kayla Braxton for giving her opinion of the current situation, cuz it’s wild. I also enjoyed Jey vs Kevin Owens and the slow process of either a total turn to the Dark Side or a hell of a redemption story.

Seth Rollins

When we last left the Rollins/Mysterio Romeo and Juliet storyline, Aalyah had turned her back on her family and Murphy had turned on Rollins. This week, it seems like the Mysterio version of the Capulets aren’t ready to let Juliet go just yet, but Romeo is definitely not getting a dinner invite, so he’s back with the Montagues…or is he?

Well, Murphy is back with Seth, at least that what it looks like, but it also looks like Romeo hasn’t given up on Juliet just yet. I’m going to be stocking up on popcorn for this.

Retribution/Mustafa Ali

Just when I thought we weren’t going to get Retribution, they surprise me! I’m all for Ali trying to recruit Ricochet, or beat the piss out of him, I’m flexible that way. I SO want Ricochet in Retribution, God knows they need some more main roster talent, but I’m also in for Ali vs Richochet just for the sheer fucking crazy good matches they’ll have.

Also, I love following Ali on Twitter and watching clapback at the Islamaphobes, particularly the jackass that said he didn’t have to pronounce Ali’s name correctly because ‘This is America and we can do what we want.’ Heel or face, Ali is a wonderful example of taking no bullshit.

Kylie Rae

In case you didn’t hear, Kylie Rae has announced that she is no longer a professional wrestler. This comes after she no called, no showed IMPACT either last weekend or the week before and several months after she officially left AEW for undisclosed reasons after only having one match. I won’t presume to know what’s going on with her, but I hope that she finds health and peace in whatever she decides to do next.

Women’s Wrestling

Was I supposed to care about or be interested in this Women’s Tag Team Championship match? I was? Oops, cuz I was NOT. I don’t like either team or the people in them, well, I’m fond of Dana Brooke, but that’s it. Lana? Bleh. Not interested in that either. If this is the RAW Women’s Survivor Series team, I’m fully rooting for SmackDown. I’m oddly intrigued by Alexa and the Fiend storyline, but Alexa’s contacts make her look cross-eyed. I’m here for us FINALLY getting Alexa and her…Dark Fairy vs Nikki Cross. I hope we get the original Nikki, the one that was in SaNitY.

SASHA BROKE THE CURSE! She FINALLY won a rematch! On top of that, it was a great match! I’m certainly intrigued by Carmella staking a claim on the title given that Carmella and Bayley were BFFs in NXT after Sasha, Charlotte, and Becky were called up. I’m stoked that Ruby Riott is going to Survivor Series over Natalia, though I think Natalia will get in somehow.

I’ll say it, again, the AEW Women’s Division deserves better than what they’ve been getting lately. I like Brandi, but her going over talent despite easily being the weakest wrestler is getting old. Also, not here for the women only getting ONE match on Dynamite and it was a squasher for Nyla Rose, who I like. The confrontation with Shida was great and badly needed, but it’s still not enough for them on Dynamite.

Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho’s political tweets. WOOF. I like Jericho and I’m all for celebrities voicing their opinions, even ones I disagree with, they have as much right to have shitty takes as the rest of us, but WOOF. I’m guessing Jericho, whose original WWE gimmick was a play on the Y2k/2000 thing, forgot about the shit show that was the 2000 US Presidential Election. I know Jericho likes conspiracy theories, but read the room, dude, and do some research before you shoot your mouth off.

Full Gear

Could someone explain to me why the NWA Women’s Champion has had more matches on AEW PPV than most of the AEW Women’s Roster? Seriously, Britt Baker doesn’t have a match, neither does Big Swole, or Anna Jay, but Allysin Kay and Serena Deeb do? I’m all for cooperation for the NWA and AEW, but it feels like the AEW Women are getting done dirty.

Okay, I gotta admit, I didn’t watch a whole lot of Full Gear. I wasn’t expecting the results of the 2020 Presidential Election to be called on Saturday, or for President-Elect Biden to give a speech right at the time Full Gear started, so I was watching that and coverage of the election being called. HOWEVER, I did enjoy the parts of Full Gear I saw.

I’m very happy for Darby Allin FINALLY winning a title. I hope he gets long title reign out of it, but we’ll see.

I’m very happy for the Young Bucks. I know their decision to build up the tag division and not put themselves in the title picture was baffling to a lot of fans, but I respect it. Congrats to them on finally being tag champs and for a fantastic match.

Hikaru Shida vs Nyla Rose was great, I just wish the story had been played out more on Dynamite instead of Dark.

Mox vs Kingston…AMAZING. We all knew that it was going to be violent and physical, but it also told a great story about the destruction of a friendship. With or without a title, Mox vs Kingston could be a Fight Forever kind of feud for AEW and they really need one. I was kind of surprised that they didn’t have Omega attack Mox from behind like Mox did on the first episode of Dynamite, but the fact that we’ll get Part 2 of that feud makes me very happy.

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
