#5 Is this the least we should expect from a WWE PPV?
Great Balls of Fire will go down as one of the most impressive WWE PPVs in quite some time, especially in terms of the non ‘big four shows’. But for older fans, we might be looking at GBOF and asking ourselves why we don’t get more of this in today’s product.
Back in the days of the Attitude Era, the product, in general, felt more impressive, more frantic and action-packed. This came across in PPVs too, even ones that were just there to fill time between the big four. We had much higher standards in 1999 when WWE was going toe to toe with WCW, but in this day and age, a lot of the PPVs are just kind of there.

Who can really remember much about Extreme Rules or Backlash for example? Would the WWE year have been any worse or better if those shows didn’t happen? These are not the kinds of questions we should be asking, but unfortunately, they are valid ones.
GBOF should be the minimum we expect from the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. It wasn’t a perfect show, but it did more than enough to get a pass from the majority of fans. We can only hope we see more of this stuff going forward.
