8 WWE Great Balls Of Fire Results Predictions
Great crystal balls of fire.
Goodness gracious! Is there a single journalist who hasn't opened their preview of WWE's forthcoming Raw PPV with that line? In an ever continuing quest to be popular, I'm not about to buck that fashionable trend.
The amount of irreverent irrelevance in that preceding sentence serves to demonstrate, one match aside, the lack of sumptuous servings on offer by tonight's Jerry Lee Lewis tribute act. There really isn't much to say about a largely retrodden undercard; Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe is unquestionably the headline act, and quite frankly, the support is immaterial. WWE could have put on a best-of-seven series between Kalisto and Curtis Axel as a prelude to the main event, and it'd still be worth tuning in for.
In fairness, the late addition of the Iron Man stipulation to the fiftieth meeting between The Hardys and Shesaro does give it fresh impetus, and if late rumours are to be believed, Roman and Braun's ambulance match might have some surprise sirens blaring. Otherwise, it's all scarily predictable fare. Not that I'm complaining - makes my job far easier.
Who'll emerge in a blaze of glory this Sunday, and who'll be reaching for the E45 cream to soothe the burns of defeat?
8. Neville Brands Tozawa A Failure
There has been a sudden injection of fresh interest in the cruiserweight division these past two days - but not for storyline reasons. Rather, Austin Aries departure has increased attention on the (many) failings of 205 Live, and its criminal misuses of talent.
On the contrary, the actual happenings under the purple lights are off-putting. Titus O'Neill and his tiresome attempts to create a global 'brand' are central to the current programme between Neville and Akira Tozawa; that's all that needs to be said, really.
A pre-show title switch is pretty unlikely, especially given the revitalised Geordie's stellar run with the strap. When gravity remembers Neville long enough to keep him pinned to the mat, it'll be in more befitting circumstances than a B-level event's kick-off commercials. A potentially great match, and a definite win for the Brit.
