Perched On The Top Rope

We open the show talking about Monday Night Raw's Promo between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.

Roman Reigns on Cody Rhodes, "Let's look at your track record. You didn't want to do the Stardust thing, so what did you do? You ran away. You started a company and a promotion you couldn't get over in. And then you ran away.”

WE ARE ON THE ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA & PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE WILL BE THERE!!!

We discuss the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship having high profile matches where last year, they weren't on the WrestleMania Card at all.

Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat

Gunther (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Drew McIntyre

United States Championship

Austin Theory (c) vs. John Cena

Also on the table, AEW and the lack of explaining who wrestling stars are from other companies. While Kenny Omega vs. El Hijo del Vikingo is already running for Match of the Year, Why doesn't AEW explain to fans who these stars from other companies are and why should we care about this match?

Is AEW teasing the end of FTR?

On the recent AEW Dynamite, FTR challenged The Gunns for the AEW Tag Team Championships. If FTR loses, they'll leave AEW. The guys weigh-in if this is the end or will they become the new AEW tag team champions!

WELCOME....to another edition of PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE!!!

This week Lee,Justin, and Alex jump right into the buzz around this year's Wrestlemania and specifically...

• WHERE THE HELL ARE THE HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCEMENTS!?!? Do they plan to announce any inductees before Wrestlemania weekend? Did they move when the HOF ceremoney wil be!? Will there even be a Hall Of Fame this year!?

• #MickFoley would argue that there is going to be a Hall Of Fame Ceremony this year, as he was contacted by a former superstar that he hadn't spoken to in a very long time, that requested that The Hardcore Icon himself induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023. Listen in to hear who we each thought would be that inductee!

• Saraay leaving WWE!?

• #WWE has interest in #BrianCage with his AEW contract coming to an end soon!?

• We talk breifly about the rebirth of #RingOfHonor...

What they did right, and what we would like to see them improve on going forward with the relaunched version.

• Speaking of improving...AEW NEEDS TO STOP THE NEVER ENDING FEUDS......Hagman #AdamPage not done with #JonMoxley and the #BCC....and the BCC turn heel!? Hear our thoughts.

• And while we're at it......WHEN WILL THE NEVER ENDING GAME OF #HotPotato end with the AEW TNT Championship end!? Ask our good friend THE WIGGLES!!

• The AEW All Atlantic Championship has been renamed the AEW Internatinal Championship...becuase of Shazam....what!? He love the new name but $TonyKhan's delivery of the message left a lot to be desired!!

• #WWENXT booking of old returns with #RoxannevsMeiko, and the announcements of #BronBreakker vs #CarmeloAnthony for the NXT Championship and #GraysonWaller vs a RETURN OF AN NXT LEGEND #JohnnyGargano....and an amazing segment with Waller and #WWEHallofFamer #ShawnMichales

• We also present the most updated look at the card's for #Wrestlemania39

Tune in to hear our thoughts!!
