WWE Great Balls Of Fire: 20 Best Internet Reactions To Brock Lesnar's Win

20. There's No Other Way To Say It... The Name Still Sucks

This could literally have been the best PPV of all time and there would still have been a massive tide of negativity towards the comical name. Sure, it probably helped get people talking about it more, but so would great match bookings and strong story-telling (just as it did in the aftermath).

It's almost like WWE just treated the whole thing like a joke, and hilariously, given that there was quite a lot of appreciation for the PPV, it might not end up being a one off. Hopefully next time they'll bother to actually follow through on the theme.

Even the most enthusiastic praise tends to come with the same caveat:

If your PPV name encourages puerile dick gags in the PG Era, there's something wrong (even if the bookers embrace it with unpunished penis kicks)...
