WWE Great Balls Of Fire: 8 Things WWE Got Right

8. Presenting The Show Like An Old Drive-In Cinema Show

One glaring problem with WWE since they launched those generic HD sets in 2008 has been a lack of creativity for pay-per-view staging. There are exceptions - usually WrestleMania - but WWE usually stick to the same basic design. Hell, even the opening video packages tend to follow a strict template.

Great Balls Of Fire changed that with a cool twist on the established format. Gone were the usual ominous voiceovers, replaced by a cheery 1950's style narrator who seemed delighted as he welcomed everyone to WWE's latest blockbuster. Keep this up, WWE: we want to see more attempts to make each show stand out.

Sunday's event was introduced like an old-school cinema drive-in, and it was awesome. Instantly, the show came alive and looked different to previous pay-per-views. If only WWE had followed this up with a brand new set, instead of the usual LED-heavy backdrop.

It's a start, we suppose.
