New WWE PPV Naming Scheme Unveiled

The WWE is moving away from it's traditional naming convention for its July PPV or 'Network Specials and moving into a new exciting direction.

"We feel that the badass, aggressive names of the past were no longer in keeping with what our fans want. Backlash, No Way Out, and Revenge are so Attitude era, which is something we don't want to go back to until we get desperate (so in about three months).  Instead we are going to start naming our events in line with popular culture to stay hip and relevant to the kids"

Reports have it that Vince Mcmahon, WWE Chairman instigated the new direction by saying that "this rock and roll thing seems popular with the youngsters, lets use that", which has led us to the new name for the July mega show - "Great Balls of Fire"

The names of future shows have yet to be announced but a leaked schedule suggests the following:

August                     Summerslam
September               Good Golly Miss Molly**
October                   My Ding-a-Ling

October (2)             Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" (UK special)

November               Survivor Series"
December                The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

** (Molly is rumored to be the name Asuka will be given when she is called up to the main roster to  play a good old fashioned farm girl from Nebraska)

Had it not already been used, this
would have been the inspiration for the
February 'No Holds Barred' PPV'

The list has being criticised by many, but to those in the company, it has actually come as a relief due
to concern that Chairman Vince McMahon was going to name the events after ailments he is suffering from.  They would have stuck with Great Balls of Fire for reasons too ghastly to get into, with other names found on a discarded piece of notepaper including "It Stings When I Pee", "Sciatica", "Hip Replacement Surgery and  "Two Blue Pills Needed",
