Unless WWE is working the entire Internet (and the building hosting the show), this is a real thing. I'll hang up and listen...

I can picture the story of the genesis of Great Balls of Fire.
They're in a long meeting, everyone's burned out and they think Bad Blood is deemed too violent of a name since they don't have blood. And someone probably Road Dogg judging off the born again nature of vegetable swearing said "great balls of fire" in an exasperated tone and Vince leans forward and says "wait a minute pal, I think you're on to something.....WWE presents GRRREAT BALLLS of FIIIRE!!! That's it! Paul write that down...."

I'm a fan of Progress and PWG so this is not the silliest name I've heard for a show. Maybe since WWE having a relationship with Progress they asked them to name a show.
At the same time it might just be that, a silly name for the sake of it. They're probably tired of using the same ones for PPV's, I mean we're a month away from Backlash and it hasn't even been a year since the last Backlash. It was the same with Roadblock, we got 2 of those in the same calender year.

Is the name of the PPV related to Kane's genitals ?

Vince: "What? I don't have balls? Hell, I got grapefruits, son! I got balls! I got great balls! As a matter of fact, I got Great Balls of Fire!....YES, THAT'S IT, WE'RE GONNA CALL IT GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! I'M A GENIUS, HAHAHAHAHAHA!" You can't convince me that this didn't happen that way. |
