Premium name.

I hope they can only come up with a premium tag line to match.

The American Airlines Center (http://www.americanairlinescenter.com/events/detail/wwe-great-balls-of-fire) website description reads:

WWE PAY PER VIEW RETURNS TO DALLAS FOR THE ONLY TIME THIS YEAR WITH GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! WITNESS THE RETURN OF BROCK LESNAR WHEN HE DEFENDS THE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE WRESTLEMANIA 33!

[ClockShot]

Goodness gracious.

[#1-norm-fan]

... WHAT!?!

[Destor]

Going for that Al Roker demo HARD

[Simple Fan]

Sounds like an old ECW ppv or something. Between this and naming their PPVs after match types the WWE are not that creative when it comes to naming them. Not to mention they have an abundance of great PPV names from WCW they refuse to use for some reason.

[#1-norm-fan]

I can't wait for some guy to be cutting a serious, intense promo and being like "... and this Sunday at Great Balls of Fire..."

[Evil Vito]

Holy fuck :lol:

[Evil Vito]

I look forward to WWE Rock Around the Clock and WWE La Bamba later this month.

Paul Heyman saying Great Balls of Fire will be the greatest night in the history of our sport.

If Deuce n' Domino don't return for Great Balls of Fire then this company can fuck right off.

[Black Widow]

Bray is gonna marry his 13yr old cousin.

[Dark One]

I feel like this belongs in one of my classic "LET'S REMEMBER SOME TNA" posts.

I don't remember taking any Oxy this morning but...

[Dark One]

Cannot wait for every Raw talent to have to wedge the phrase "In two weeks, Goodness Gracious, at GREAT BALLS OF FIRE I will have my revenge!" into their promo.

[Cool King]

Did Vince recently discover weed or something?

What an awful name for a PPV.

Speaking of awful though, Lesnar defending the title once in three months is crazy.

[Droford]

Just makes me mad I'm going to Extreme Rules in June no Lesnar..

Lesnar's the shit. I think Lesnar takes out 80's Hogan and 90's Austen in a wrestling match. Lesnar probably would have beaten Cain Valasquez in mma had it not been for his ailmints with diveriticulitis.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the name

[Frank Drebin]

....the fuck?? This is so odd.

Sorry you're not gonna be attending WWE Great Balls of Fire.

The name sounds really "Indie".

It's like something ICW would come up with.

[Droford]

This should totally have been the reboot of the In Your House Series. In Your House had lame subtitles like "Beware of Dog"

In Your House: Great Balls of Fire

[Simple Fan]

Whats wrong with Great American Bash? I mean when I think July and fireworks not once have I ever called them great balls of fire. Surely Vince didn't just discover Jerry Lee Lewis and decide to have a PPV named after one of his songs. This is why people think Vince is out of touch.

[Triple A]

Great name

How did we go from ppv names like Unforgiven and Bad Blood to GREAT BALLS OF FIRE?(its impossible not to write that in all caps)

[Stocky]

I look forward to WWE Rock Around the Clock and WWE La Bamba later this month.

They should rename payback to "Lets twist again"

[slik]

I kind of want 2 go 2 it

[Swiss Ultimate]

If Deuce n' Domino don't return for Great Balls of Fire then this company can fuck right off.

Yup.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Heatwave 17

[DAMN iNATOR]

They'd be better off bringing back the old Great American Bash PPV name. Also, they should totally use Halloween Havoc as the October PPV title.

[mike adamle]

Maybe the name is because the main event is Brock Lesnar vs. Kane? Kane normally does get the post mania title feud.

[Frank Drebin]

"The Mayor" KaNE

[Shisen Kopf]

Maybe there will be a tea bag match on the card? Give it a chance dammit!

[Nicky Fives]

Couldn't have just used Fully Loaded again......

[Destor]

Clearly it will be brock lesnar vs al roker in an INFERNO MATCH

[#1-norm-fan]

I just keep coming back to this thread to see if CyNick has explained the genius behind this yet.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

you know it will be fucking great when he does.

[#1-norm-fan]

Gotta get that Jerry Lee Lewis demographic.

[#1-norm-fan]

Honestly... and this isn't just me shitting on WWE for the fuck of it... But I genuinely think they do things that are intentionally retarded to the point where they're probably just trying to get attention for being so awful. This is one of them. I find it more plausible that everyone agreed that "Great Balls of Fire" blends in with the plan of "We're gonna make people hate stuff so much that they feel the need to talk about how awful it is" than I do that Vince decided "Great Balls of Fire" was genuinely a good PPV name and everyone just kinda went along with it. There have been other examples of this to strengthen the theory. But this might be the most glaring one.

Considering the last decade and a half... this theory isn't that crazy.

[poopfromweiner dude]

legit think this is a good name

It's summer fun, it's something different for a change, and it will get all the internet retards up in arms. That's always a good thing regardless of what they're saying

[Dark One]

Great name

CyNick? That you?

[Triple A]

The name is obviously deliberately "camp"... It's not like they don't realize it's a "funny" name...

[mike adamle]

Probably just WWE's way of piggybacking off PWG's popularity and trying to have a name like they would

When I look at the font and how it's laid out, I just imagine Vince going "Great balls of FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE"

[StuartFinnigan]

Bray is gonna marry his 13yr old cousin.

When did Bray ever admit to having a 13 year old cousen? He only has a sister named Abigail that died like ages ago. Quit making shit up.

The graphic designer in me is having multiple heart attacks looking at that.

goddammit

[Anybody Thrilla]

Promos will seriously have the line "and this Sunday at WWE Great Balls of Fire pay per view" verbatim.

[RP]

how about Unhinged

[Big Vic]

I can't wait for some guy to be cutting a serious, intense promo and being like "... and this Sunday at Great Balls of Fire..."

"The ultimate thrill ride!"

[Sixx]

this is awesome

you shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
too much love drives a man insane

[Shisen Kopf]

I hope next ppv in Vegas is called Viva Las Vegas and the Honky Tonk Man returns

[DAMN iNATOR]

I look forward to Vince remembering one-hit wonder Ian Whitcomb and renaming the September PPV WWE You Really Turn Me On.
