A wrestler hits the opponent with a chair. In modern wrestling folding chairs are used with the strike being performed with the flat face of the chair to slow the swing and distribute the impact, to prevent injury. Although chair shots to the body are legal in the WWE, chair shots to the head were banned in March 2010, due to high risk of concussion and long term brain damage. AEW wrestler Shawn Spears executed a chair shot to Cody at Fyter Fest, causing AEW to ban the move as well.
