Great Balls of Fire
That’s really what they’re calling the July pay per view.

PRESALE: Thurs. May 4 10AM
ON SALE: Fri. May 5 at 10AM pic.twitter.com/bEhsjvNhNh— aacenter (@AACenter) April 28, 2017
And Lesnar is defending. Was the Wrestling Classic not available? Or The Big Event? Or what about High School Confidential?
Just why????
Brock’s first title defense isn’t until July?
Dear God could they not come up with ANYTHING ELSE?
I am already cringing at the idea of Michael Cole hammer this name into our heads in his dorky fake-excited voice of his. Or better yet, have Vince McMahon himself do the intro to this PPV and scream, “Welcome to GREAT BALLS OF FIYAAAAHHHH!!”
I think this has to be Stephanie. Isn’t she the Chief Branding Officer? So she gets to sign off on all the PPV names and posters and marketing gimmicks etc. Smh, this is a billion-dollar publicly traded company? I think I can apply to one of their marketing positions if all the talent they need is to come up with stupid PPV names. I laughed my butt off when I read this and still chuckle every time I read the PPV name.
Why didn’t the just keep Badd Blood? That and Backlash are actually two of the best ‘B’ level PPV names they have ever had.
*and Armageddon*
Probably something to due with blood being in the name.
It’ll be hilarious to hear the wrestlers use this name in promos
