Land O'Lakes & Great Balls of Fire!!!...
Greetings, Enthusiasts!
So, today we gather for the Great Balls of Fire PPV to see mainly how the Brock Lesnar vs. Samoa Joe match goes down. This is one of those times where it actually doesn't matter about the set-up because the potential of the match stands alone. It almost, dare I say, feels real 😉 Well, I'm pretty sure it will be the match of the night but that doesn't mean everything else on the docket is a waste of time.
We've got the other bit of tantalizing show in the Ambulance Match between Roman Reigns & Braun Strowman. Now, what I'm gonna look for here is lag-time. The thing about these kind of matches is that they're long and dragged out on purpose so, it will be up to these guys to make the whole thing interesting. This could be a lot of fun or fall completely flat. Let's hope it's not the RAW's version of House of Horrors.
Outside of that, though the Big Cass vs. Enzo Amore match has plenty of sentimentality attached, I think the surprise highlight might be the Neville vs. Akira Tozawa match. With New Japan Pro-Wrestling doing a stateside stint, I've been able to get a gander at this NJPW alternative and though it is certainly no WWE, it does seem to hold more to the traditional concept of Professional Wrestling. Personally, it doesn't fully suit my Western sensibilities but I could not help but note its appeal. True skill is applied in those types of bouts and not to downplay the rough-tumblers of the WWE, it's just nice to see that actual training needs to be applied. That comes out more with the Cruiser-weights. I know wrestling is a tough gig, but you have to admit, form takes second place to performance in the WWE. I push for a healthy blend of both. But enough about hopes and dreams, funny tweets get retweeted and Likes/Favorites will come when they come...they are rare birds.
See You in a Bit,
