WWE Great Balls of Fire’s 5 Best (and 4 Worst) Moments
It's time to look back on WWE's Great Balls of Fire - the oddly themed and terribly named RAW branded PPV/Network Event that had a surprisingly strong (on paper) card thanks to solid feuds built between Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman, Enzo Amore and Big Cass, and the Hardys and Shesaro/The Bar.
So how did it all play out? What were the highs and lows? The peaks and valleys? How many balls were there and were they, in fact, on fire? Let's do the thing!
It was a wise move to open the show (Kickoff match, notwithstanding) with Seth vs. Bray since this little angle is sort of a stalling, wheel-spinning storyline for both dudes containing very murky, undefined themes. So might as well catch the crowd at the open when they're hot.

7 TV Comedies to Binge Watch
Looking for some laughs? Want to zone out in front of the TV and binge some crackling good comedy? We've got a rundown of some of the best shows currently available for streaming.
From the long running and iconic Cheers and Seinfeld to some quirkier gems like Arrested Development and Community, here are 7 great TV comedies to put in front of your face immediately.
Not only is Cheers one of the best and brightest comedies of all time, but it managed to survive, and thrive, after losing one of its co-leads (and half of a very hot on again/off again TV couple), Shelly Long, who opted not to renew her contract after Season 5. Even with her departure, this fantastic Boston bar comedy - starring Ted Danson, Woody Harrelson, Kelsey Grammer, and more -- lasted six more seasons and went on to garner huge ratings and many more awards.

Netflix-Style Video Game Service Launches Open Beta
A new on-demand, subscription-based video game service called Jump is preparing to launch, offering an initial library of 60 to 100 indie games playable for a flat monthly fee of $9.99 per month. After a closed beta period, running between now and July 24 with a sample library of 10 to 20 games, the full service will offer unlimited, ad-free playtime for its “highly curated” library, with about 10 new games added each month for Windows, Mac, Linux, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift.
Jump includes all the standard features of a Netflix or Spotify-style service, including a way to browse recently added games, recently updated games, games with new content, and sort games by genre. Leaderboards, achievements, cloud saves, matchmaking, and multiplayer are all handled through a third-party service called PlayFab, which would most notably allow your saves to carry over onto new devices.
