As you may know, i'm a HUGE MMA and Pro-Wrestling fan. They are both cut from the same cloth in my mind and there are many parallel threads. Going into next year, they both look to continue to evolve and get bigger, in different ways. Two of the biggest developments are as follows:
This is going to be insane. An entire channel dedicated to Vince McMahon's Empire? WWE 24/7? I've heard there's going to be a reality show starring WWE Legends, which is a terrible idea, but if it gets some broken down old men some paydays, i'm down. WWE needs to evolve next year otherwise UFC is going to continue to beat them in the PPV arena. That brings me to my second development, which everyone has heard by now :
As big as the WWE Network could be, UFC on FOX is even bigger. This is taking the sport to the next level and a guaranteed increase of eyeballs for the UFC. The most brilliant move for Dana White in what has been a banner year for them. This ensures they will get even bigger and do great business this year. Giving away a Heavyweight title fight on free T.V. doesn't hurt either. They could reach an over saturation point with too many events next year, but we'll have to wait and see.
It's going to be an interesting year.
