    Chair Shots & Chokeholds EP 2.18: What’s Next for Jacob Fatu? Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker & WWE’s Next Big Star

    The boys are back, and the wrestling world is giving them plenty to argue about. This week, they break down the latest WWE faction shakeups and ask whether the newest groups have the same impact as legendary debuts like the nWo, DX, The Shield and Wyatt Sicks. Plus, what’s next for Jacob Fatu and the Bloodline story as tensions continue to build? Then it’s time for a potential collision of WWE’s future: Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker. Could their Royal Rumble history be setting up some long-term storytelling? Who should WWE build around, and could a heel turn completely change Oba’s trajectory? The guys also talk CM Punk’s current run, WWE’s next generation of stars, and preview what could go down at Saturday Night’s Main Event. And, because it’s Chair Shots & Chokeholds, there’s plenty of wrestling history, hot takes, arguments and completely unexpected detours along the way.

    The Chair Shots & Chokeholds crew are locked in for the biggest party of the summer — WWE SummerSlam (two nights!) — live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios and powered by Revelton Distilling Company. With co-host Joe out killing it at the National Card Convention in Rosemont, JT and company dive deep into the stacked card: Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi in Hell in a Cell (hometown heat in Minnesota?), Gunther vs. Nick Aldis (career-killer match of the night?), Liv Morgan vs. Io Sky, Judgment Day chaos with Dom & Danhausen, Sami Zayn vs. Finn Bálor (Kevin Owens return?), Tiffany Stratton/Jade Cargill/Chelsea Green/Charlotte Flair, Chad Gable’s long-awaited singles gold, and more. They also swap classic SummerSlam memories (HHH/HBK 2002 unsanctioned, Suplex City, Undertaker vs. Brock), rant about Dark Side of the Ring, fantasy-book the Des Moines Raw aftermath, and go gloriously off the rails on everything from Big Boss Man to GTV to local Iowa media. Real talk. No filters. No scripts. Pure wrestling marks talking the card that matters.

    Chair Shots & Chokeholds EP 2.15: TNA Doc Drama, Sami's Raw Deal & SummerSlam Fantasy Booking

    Hot Thursday night chaos in the studio! Technical difficulties, scorching Iowa heat, and unfiltered wrestling talk kick off this episode of Chair Shots & Chokeholds. The guys sound off on Sami Zayn’s painfully short title run, CM Punk’s ghosting act, and why it feels like summer of Punk is already stale. They dive deep into the new Dark Side of the Ring TNA/Jeff Jarrett episodes — praising the early years but ripping the doc for ignoring massive stars like AJ Styles, Abyss, Samoa Joe, Gail Kim, the X-Division, Main Event Mafia, and Aces & Eights. Is it just a Jeff Jarrett vanity project? Plus, nostalgia on Hogan’s impact, Bischoff, and classic TNA peaks. Current WWE talk includes Mustafa Ali & Elias getting their flowers, Chad Gable’s overdue push (give this All-American the IC Title already!), The Vision, Otis heat, and fantasy booking SummerSlam, Roman vs. Seth, Bron Breaker, and big returns like Kevin Owens targeting CM Punk. They also debate the biggest PLEs, Royal Rumble dreams, and why we need more old-school surprise entries. Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios, this is real talk, no filters.

    Chair Shots & Chokeholds EP 2.14 Night of Champions Preview: Oba Femi vs Jey Uso, Sami Zayn’s World Title Rub & Bloodline Chaos

    Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios in Norwalk, Iowa, Joe and JT are locked in for a heated Night of Champions preview from Saudi Arabia. Oba Femi is red hot and the guys are fantasy booking the hell out of his match with Jey Uso — is this the night Oba cements himself as the next top guy, or does Jey pull off the upset with some help from the Bloodline? They break down Brock Lesnar’s possible involvement, Roman Reigns protecting the family, Jacob Fatu’s role, and where everything leads into SummerSlam. Plus, they dig into the triple threat for the WWE Championship (Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and Sami Zayn) and whether this is finally the moment Sami gets the world title rub he’s earned. Expect bold predictions, “who’s missing from the card” talk, and some wild speculation on Randy Orton, CM Punk, Kevin Owens, and more. Later in the episode the guys get real about the recent layoffs at local Des Moines media outlets and why supporting local voices still matters.
