The GOP as the WWE

For the past year, a frenzied discussion has revolved around which Republican candidate will receive the presidential nomination.

I have more than 25 years of experience in broadcast television and one of my jobs was Supervising Producer at World Wrestling Entertainment, which perhaps explains my unique understanding of the GOP candidates.

Professional wrestling has two distinct categories: Heels and Babyfaces. In wrestling jargon, heels are the bad guys and display a wide range of nefarious and sometimes wacky behavior. Babyfaces are the fan favorite and these characters are always portrayed as heroes and are usually the champion.

UFC on Fox Peaks with Record 8.8 Million Viewers

The UFC debut on Fox which was headlined by the Heavyweight Championship fight between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez broke all U.S. MMA viewership records peaking with 8.8 million viewers for a 64 second fight before dropping to down to 5.9 million viewers. The bout, which is being hailed as the most-watched fight in MMA history, smashed UFC's previous viewership high of 6.1 million for the Kimbo Slice-Roy Nelson fight on The Ultimate Fighter.

UFC and Fox will be extremely happy with the debut figures as head toward the start of their partnership in 2012. The key for both now is to work out a tweaked format in order to attain more peak time viewers and increase advertising revenue.
