WWE's July Raw PPV Is Now Called...
|
Premium name.
I hope they can only come up with a premium tag line to match. |
The American Airlines Center 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! |
Goodness gracious.
|
... WHAT!?!
|
Going for that Al Roker demo HARD
|
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.
|
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..."
|
Holy fuck :lol:
|
I look forward to WWE Rock Around the Clock and WWE La Bamba later this month.

If Deuce n' Domino don't return for Great Balls of Fire then this company can fuck right off.
|
Bray is gonna marry his 13yr old cousin.

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

The name sounds really "Indie".
It's like something ICW would come up with. |
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 |
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.
|
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)

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.
|
Maybe the name is because the main event is Brock Lesnar vs. Kane? Kane normally does get the post mania title feud.
|
"The Mayor" KaNE
|
Maybe there will be a tea bag match on the card? Give it a chance dammit!
|
Couldn't have just used Fully Loaded again......
|
Clearly it will be brock lesnar vs al roker in an INFERNO MATCH
|
I just keep coming back to this thread to see if CyNick has explained the genius behind this yet.
|
you know it will be fucking great when he does.
|
Gotta get that Jerry Lee Lewis demographic.
|
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. |
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 |

The name is obviously deliberately "camp"... It's not like they don't realize it's a "funny" name...
|
Probably just WWE's way of piggybacking off PWG's popularity and trying to have a name like they would

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

I hope next ppv in Vegas is called Viva Las Vegas and the Honky Tonk Man returns
|
I look forward to Vince remembering one-hit wonder Ian Whitcomb and renaming the September PPV WWE You Really Turn Me On.
|
"WWE Goin' to Rasslin'" needs to happen.

HIMYM is back in TPWW :O
