This has to be the worst named event ever. Here's hoping they don't try to play up to the name, and have Lesnar flamethrow Joe's testicles

20 years just passed since he stormed into that cell and tombstoned undertaker, crazy

Brock vs Joe has potential to either be one of the greatest matches of the year, or one of the most crushing disappointments of all time.

if brock actually starts wrestling again and gets away from suplex city hes been on since mania 31 it could be amazing

I wanna see Bray work this into a promo:

"FIRE SAVES US FROM THE DARKNESS.... CARRIES US INTO THE LIGHT... BUT YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THESE GIANT BALLS OF FIRE... AND ONLY I KNOW HOW TO CUP THEM IN MY HAND..."

I'm surprised Paul Heyman managed to keep a straight face while saying it last night.

CastorTroy

So looks like they changed the logo again


http://www.wwe.com/shows/great-balls-of-fire
Now it looks like some kind of demon

J. Marston

20 minute Illustrator job on that.

gerrybbadd

Its no improvement on the original flying flaming testicles.

Jesus, I've never heard of a worst name PPV.

The principle ppv sponsor is this Rocket League game, which is like a futuristic football demolition derby looking thing. I'd imagine that's why they called it what they did?

The game is amazing, It's soccer with rocket cars.

Fair enough I only saw a few clips. I'm not a gamer these days.

Brock was ufc heavyweight champion until he fought a decent fighter who proceeded to kick the living crap out of lesner and take his belt. CM punk went to the ufc also and got the lard beaten out of him. These guys are big softies it appears

Jesus this **** is embarrassing.

I know but i would say they make a great living out it all the same. We all grew up watching the wrestling. Kane when he wore the mask was my favorite

Can confirm Rocket League is a fun game, downloaded it for the PS4, played a bit of it after Batman Arkham Knight.

When are you going to tell us its all fake?

Autochange

We all know its fake. Its no different to watching easterners or coronation street. Its entertainment. They are great athletes who go through pain and risk of serious injury to put on an entertaining show . Im just saying when some of them tried the fight game in real life they got whipped. Lesner was champ for a bit to be fair but was found out.

Whilst you're not wrong really, what are you telling us that we don't already know?

Ken Shamrock,Josh barnett,Lesnar,Dan Severn,Sakuraba,Nakanmura,Bobby Lashley,Funaki and Del Rio have all fought in mma with winning records, you sound like an armchair fan that has neither competed in any sport and thinks they know it all

riffmongous

Getting found out after beating the likes of Mir, Couture and Carwin ain't all that bad

briany

I like the name as it feels like a throwback to the days when early IYH PPVs had different unique titles of varying naffness, e.g. In Your House: Beware of Dog. With a name like Great Balls of Fire, it's not likely to be used again, so would be of the same ilk.

IncognitoMan

I've seen a few people saying "in your house" was a bad title. Am I the only one who doesn't think it's bad? I've always liked the sound of "WWE/F in your house".

Surely it's at least not on the same level as "great balls of fire".

A Rogue Hobo

Completely agree, someone above mentioned Beware of Dog being naff but I disagree personally. British Bulldog challenging the ultimate face at the time in HBK therefore: Beware of (Bull)dog. Makes sense to me anyways! I always liked how the subtitles related to what storylines were occurring at the time in comparison to Great Balls of Fire which has nothing to do with anyone or anything.

Agent Coulson

Any chance the will bring in Honky Tonk Man for a one shot deal to sing Great Balls Of Fire.


Or maybe give Rockabilly one last run.

Virtanen

Only for Elias Samson to come out and interrupt

The build for Lesnar v Joe has been really well handled to date.

Joe's being built as a threat/someone who can go toe to toe with Brock. If the finish wasn't known, you'd genuinely think Joe could beat Lesnar.

Stranger things have happened, either way it's great to see Joe being utlised properly and so long as he goes down with a fight he can push on from where he was before the title shot

sky88

The build has been so good with joe/lesnaar im going to be gutted if they just have brock do his routine suplex city match dominating

SureYWouldntYa

Yeah if they go 10 minutes and have him in suplex city the whole time ala Ambrose it would make the last few weeks completely redundant

Realistically Joe loses, but have him come out on RAW the night after, and have him brag about how he took Lesnar to his absolute limits. And that he'll be wanting a rematch some time down the line.

This DEFINITELY needs to be avoided.

A 10/12 minute version of Goldberg/Brock WM 33 would be great for me.

Just all out war.

Exactly that was one of my favorite matches of the year and probable the best 5 minute match ive ever seen

PTH2009

Hopefully Lesner vs Joe will be everything Lesner vs Goldberg was suppose to be

ALL OUT BRAWL
ALL OUT WAR

Id love I'd we got blood too

But I'm ready too be disappointed and Lesner will prob win it in about a minute

gerrybbadd

Lesnar is seriously good at selling - his face while the clutch was applied was serious. I thought his eyebrows were gonna pop off his face!

Every match better end like this:

Except form the front otherwise it will be false advertisement.

I'd love Joe to win

It would absolutely make Joe if he was to win the title after the build up they've had

The benefits to a Joe win are endless, you're creating a new star, one who'll be around full time and be someone at the top for people to aim for, someone new

I'd take a good showing from Joe in reality, I've always been a Lesnar mark because he's a freak but for the first time ever I'll be cheering for the other person in a Lesnar match

Lithium93_

On paper, the show looks good. MIGHT stay up and watch it.

SureYWouldntYa

The build up would have me thinking Joe could beat Brock

Don't know how Brock could lose to Joe though

Lithium93_

Edge on the Great Balls Of Fire name.

Before we go any further for how stoked I am for Joe vs. Brock, I gotta mention again this pay-per-view name is just brutal. I mean, come on. It's a great song, I'm a fan of Jerry Lee Lewis, I appreciate everything he did, dancing on pianos, setting them on fire, he was a trendsetter, he was a groundbreaker; that song was from the 50s, I don't know if it needs to be the name of a pay-per-view. I picture just flaming testicles now when I hear that. And then when you see the logo for it it just looks like flaming testicles.

Rock Lesnar

Cant wait for Brock v Joe, it should be at WM but it is where it is, whatever happens, i really hope Joe leaves as the star of the night

sky88

Would love if wwe were sound and put joe and brock on first so I could watch. Should be a good show if the matches deliver feel the tag match could steal the show.
