Welcome everyone to Perched On The Top Rope, in episode 188 former Dirt Sheet Writer, Lee Walker talks about Tony Khan most recent rant which he goes after The USA X account, WWE and Jinder Mahal while doubling down that fans should be mad at WWE over Jinder getting a title match, but not be mad at Hook getting a title shot!

Adam Copeland was on Busted Open Radio and talked about the fans not being happy about his match with Griff Garrison on AEW Collision. Copeland comments that he's at the veterans age where veterans make the younger talent look good like on the independent scene, he's just doing it on tv now.

Meanwhile, Eric Bischoff recently said on 83 Weeks that Mercedes Mone wont do anything for AEW and that AEW is becoming like TNA! Bring in as many big stars as you want, it won't help. We agreed with Eric as Lee has been saying, "If you go from WWE to another company, you will not get all of your WWE fans to follow you."

Lee doubled down on this stating fans will still call wrestlers by their WWE name even after their out of the company because that's how the casual fan remembers them.

Lastly, Cody Rhodes agreed to be someones best man at a house show on Saturday. WWE caught up with Cody about the ordeal and we air it for you all.

Remember, spoiler free's the way to be, I'm out!

UPDATE: Jinder Mahal, TAZZ, Eric Bischoff and Tony Khan all fire back at each other on Social Media!
