We presents what *literally* may be our most positive show EVER! PWF Empire contributors Stephen, Dalton, and Jay wade through the wreckage of Great Balls of Fire's featured match-ups (Brock Lesnar vs Samoa Joe, and Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman) by discussing what the matches accomplished and the future holds for all four men. In addition, we also talk about what it truly means to be a "face" and "heel" in pro wrestling and why the debate surrounding a supposed double-turn following Roman Reigns' post-match attack on Braun Strowman at GBOF was misplaced.

Great Balls of Fire fallout: WWE Universal Championship

PWF Empire presents the Kayfabe Tier List: a visual tracker used to record the mobility of the members of WWE’s roster in terms of credibility and presentation. For the post-Money in the Bank (June 2017) Kayfabe Tier List, PWF Empire contributors Jay and KTL creator Stephen discuss the effect WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and Universal Champion Brock Lesnar are having on their respective titles, the rollercoaster that is Roman Reigns' ooking (spoiler alert: we're on an upswing), WWE prominently featuring more matches between heavyweights, Big Cass turning on Enzo, and more!

PWF Empire host Jay challenges Lucas to a debate over Lucas' post-Extreme Rules tweet: "Idk how to feel about this, Joe vs Lesnar. I would be hypocritical to like this and still hate Jinder Mahals push. Joe won out of no where". In addition, Jay, Lucas, and Stephen discuss all of the implications that come along with a dream match like Brock Lesnar vs Samoa Joe becoming a reality, the "x factor" that could make or break the feud/match, the importance of championships being present on TV, and more!

The Reality of the Dream Match: Samoa Joe vs Brock Lesnar

In addition to discussing the possible return of The Authority and the latest storyline developments with Kurt Angle, Corey Graves, Big Cass and Enzo Amore, PWF Empire contributors Jay, Dalton, Lucas, and Justin have a conversation about Good vs Evil in storytelling. Using The Undertaker defending The Streak vs CM Punk at WrestleMania 29 as a template, Justin argues in favor of staying true to the tradition of professional wrestling in having well-defined face and heel characters, while Jay uses the Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles feud from 2016 to signify the importance of flexibility in the alignment of characters and variety in storytelling. Justin also attempts to argue that WrestleMania 29 featured the best build to any Streak match at WrestleMania, lol

PWF Empire presents the Kayfabe Tier List: a visual tracker used to record the mobility of the members of WWE’s roster in terms of credibility and presentation. For the post-Backlash (May 2017) Kayfabe Tier List, PWF Empire contributors Jay and KTL creator Stephen discuss former world champions Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens currently holding midcard titles, if WWE has properly managed Roman Reigns' heat from retiring The Undertaker (spoiler alert: they haven't), WWE's booking philosophy that led to Jinder Mahal becoming WWE Champion, and the ripple effect his win has had on the rest of the company.

Current WWE Champion Randy Orton retweeted the following message on Twitter, causing a divide in the Internet Wrestling Community: “Every Indy match now: handshake, drawn out move exchange, this is awesome chant, strike exchange, dive no sell Indy strongstyle, dive, more strikes, no sells, dive, flippy floppy sequence, dive, hit everyone with each other’s finisher then Humpty Dumpty we all fall down. Fight forever chant, rinse and repeat until every move is useless and means nothing, dive, take unsafe shot that looks like shit and hurts like hell then roll up finish. Hand shake and hug after match. Everyone’s hands raised. All these guys chant. Go home and type on social media thanking your opponents and company for the match and telling others they should book these guys. ……………dive.” PWF Empire contributors Jay, Stephen, Dalton, and Micah "dive" into the controversy created by Orton co-signing and amplifying the message, the significance of the independent wrestling scene on the wrestling industry as a whole, and its negative(?) influence on WWE.
