Another week. another breakdown of Tiffany’s takes! Are you intrigued by the same topics she is?

Jon Moxley

Have I mentioned how much I love this Jon Moxley/Eddie Kingston feud? Cuz, I do! I love this story of a spurned friendship and it not being just business for Mox or Kingston. I cannot wait for Full Gear in November. I do find it a little frustrating that Kingston and Mox aren’t having more confrontations, but I guess it’s to whet the appetite for Full Gear.

Roman Reigns

This family saga is getting Corleone levels of ugly. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving every minute of this shit. This is WWE at its soap opera best, but man is this getting ugly. Even turning Rikishi against Jey is some deep levels of ugly. I’m waiting for Jey to point out that Roman didn’t beat him clean either time, Jimmy gave up for Jey at the Clash and Roman basically blackmailed Jey into giving up at Hell in a Cell. Never mind, Jey seems to have thrown in with Roman.

Seth Rollins

Okay, since I was in a fog last week, it looks like Romeo has turned on the Montagues and the Capulets ain’t having it. However, I like that Angie, at least in in Aalyah’s corner. Once again, heel!Seth is the best Seth, but Aalyah choosing Murphy over her family is straight up out of Shakespeare. So, Romeo is out of the Montagues and Juliet is out of the Capulets, now what?

Women’s Wrestling

Good god, how long are we going to be stuck with Baszler and Jax as tag champs? Also, why is Lana getting pushed over actually talented women? All the talent in that division and we’re stilling getting Lana.

I cannot abide Bianca Belair. She is not all WWE and her fans think she is. Also, that triple threat was weird and awkward. I like Billie Kay, but she always seems so awkward in the ring. Nattie…Nattie is good, but she doesn’t have enough personality to get beyond the mid-card (I promise I’m not going to spend the whole night tearing down the women’s division). I like Carmella’s new gimmick, but I’m also puzzled by it. I want Sasha’s outfit like NOW, though I hate to think how strict of a diet I’d have to be on to fit into it. I seriously hope Sasha wins next week, I’m over her losing her rematches. GIVE SASHA A LONG TITLE REIGN!

I love that the AEW women get more matches on AEW Dark, but there should be more time for them made on Dynamite. C’mon, put the women on Dynamite, give the women who are starting to outnumber the dudes in terms of viewing numbers a sign you’re paying attention! Anna Jay continues to be one of my faves on Dark. I love that her feud with Brandi Rhodes is continuing.

I appreciate AEW showcasing the NWA Women’s Championship, and helping out the NWA, but I’m a little perturbed that an outsider promotion gets time on the company flagship show and most of AEW’s signed female talent not only doesn’t get a shot at the NWA title, but also is relegated to Dark. At least we got something for the AEW Women’s Title: Hikaru Shida vs Nyla Rose II.

Retribution

Okay, I loved the look back at Retribution and why they’re here. Seriously good stuff. Not thrilled about Retribution losing AGAIN, but it was by DQ instead of pinfall. Still, wishing Retribution was getting more. Also, love Mia Yim in this match, kinda wish her and Martinez were competing too.

WWE Third Party Situation

Can WWE ever try to not take the fun out of things? Apparently, WWE has…insisted that the superstars with 3rd party accounts (Cameo, Twitch, etc) suspend those accounts or has seized control of those account until a meeting sometime next week, and apparently this crackdown includes people like Paige, who is under contract, but can’t wrestle and isn’t being used for anything. Like, they’re keeping fans engaged by doing this stuff and the fans who engage in this KNOW THAT WRESTLING IS STAGED, so there’s no reason to worry about KAYFABE. If this is about money, there has to be a way for both sides to meet in the middle that won’t end with taking all the fun out of the 3rd party accounts.

Karl Anderson Situation

In case you didn’t hear about it, Karl Anderson of the Good Brothers/Bullet Club/The Club was called out for cheating by his ‘hot Asian’ wife on Saturday, to which he responded by calling her a slut. Yeesh. I’m not about to try and dive into this or take sides, but history has shown that going public with your marital issues tends to go badly for the person who went public, but Anderson’s response was unacceptable in every respect of the world. If your marriage is imploding, don’t take it onto social media.

Election 2020

Yes, I know you guys are REALLY sick of this, and I promise it’ll be the last one. Election Day is November 3, which will be TOMORROW when this article is published. PLEASE, exercise your hard fought right to vote. I won’t say who to vote for, that’s between you and your conscience, but there is too much at stake to just sit on your hands because you don’t like either candidate.

Personal Note

I want to apologize for the poor quality of my takes last week. Unfortunately, I was going through a personal crisis and wasn’t really paying attention to what was going on with much of anything. Long story short: My 15 year old cat became very sick last week and had to be rushed to the vet. He is doing better, but I got some news that upset me greatly and I was trying to deal with that. I give you my word that I will do everything I can to give you guys the best takes I can and I again apologize for last week.

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
