WWE Satire: 5 Reasons WWE named their new PPV 'Great Balls of Fire'

#3 To discourage low blows

Cheating is wrong and WWE just won't have it!

Unfortunately, the referees employed by WWE are easily distracted and physically fragile beings. When their backs are turned or when they fall unconscious from a feather touch, Superstars resort to nefarious means to eventually win their matches. Well, WWE won’t stand for such nonsense anymore. They want their action to be viewed as real sports, like TNA.

With the name ‘Great Balls of Fire’, WWE superstars will thereby be discouraged from attempting low blows. Sure, Kane might still try his luck as he enjoys being burned, but chances are it will affect his political career if he does indeed injure his opponents with low blows. Unfortunately, this stipulation won’t discourage the wrestlers from using tables, ladders, chairs, belts, bells, sledgehammers, bats, sticks and dustbins when the referees are down.
