A WoW arena tournament would be/is fun to watch ONLY if you play the game and no what is happening. Seriously, WoW in the arena at a high ranking requires such a high amount of skill and ability to spot out little details that its rather amazing. Not using Counter Spell or Fear at the right time can be the different between a win and a loss. As much bad press as the game gets WoW is probably what I consider some of the best damn gameplay out there in player vs player type.

Really, I don't know why they'd have Guitar Hero there especially if its not based on score. GH is neat to see someone get a very insane score but to watch? No way, its just someone moving their fingers really fast in sync... that's not what you want to see on television.

Games will have a future of internet broadcast but in mainstream TV never. The problem lies in that only gamers identify with it. Unlike football, baseball, or basketball not everyone grows up playing Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament, or Quake. They don't see the skill required, the teamwork required, etc.
