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

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..."

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. |

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"

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.

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.
