Now more than ever, the world needs a good dose of positivity. We here at Cageside Seats will do our small part to bring that positivity on a daily basis. Throughout the entirety of 2017, we’ll say something nice about wrestling and everything around it, past, present, and future.
As a reminder, only positive comments are allowed here. No negative comments, no troll comments, no back-handed compliments. None of that here. You have the rest of the site for that. Any comments that are not in the spirit of this feature will be flagged, deleted, and posters of said comments may be subjected to a ban.
There was a PPV a few days ago. Now is as good a time as any to talk about it. Today’s subject: Great Balls of Fire.
NOTE: This is in reference to the PPV Great Balls of Fire, not the 1950s song of the same name by Jerry Lee Lewis.
I only caught the last third of it, but that was a fun last third of it. Braun and Roman should keep beating the hell out of each other for my entertainment forever.
The same can also be said for Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe. It was less than ten minutes, but it had all the carnage of a 30-minute war. The main event sprint is oddly becoming one of my favorite things in wrestling lately. Get everything in... only faster and harder.
By most accounts, the show was good, and if I have a couple hours this weekend, I’ll check out the show in full.
Also, props to WWE for actually seeing this whole Great Balls of Fire thing to the very end. They could have backed off the name with all the deserved jokes it got, but they didn’t. Good for them, I guess.
Your turn. Say something nice about Great Balls of Fire.
Got a suggestion for a future “Let’s Say Nice Things About...”? Hit me up on the Twitter gimmick @notoriouseddie. I may not always respond, but I will read it.
