It’s been quite a few years since WWE has been on the forefront of pop culture, but now, possibly because of a forced hand, it once again finds itself blazing trails. Its newest TV show, NXT, a reality-type show (with minimal wrestling, of course) that debuted last winter, will be leaving TV altogether and heading to the Internet. (Tuesdays at 10pm, for the record.) WWE says it’s the first TV show to leave TV for the Internet, something that I wouldn’t even be able to verify, but it does speak to a broader move in the world of entertainment.

Moving NXT to the Internet is an experiment. Perhaps it’s one borne out of necessity, but I’d be shocked if TV executives around Hollywood aren’t checking in to see how it does.

How Huffington Post is promoting 'Political Animals' on social - 0 views

We were aware of POLITICAL ANIMALS via the pre-premiere buzz, including mention of it in Maureen Dowd's "State of Cool" piece, and discussed with USA the idea to create a list of America's biggest "political animals" of all time. With Huffington Post's highly engaged community for opinion and conversation, and USA's tremendous reach, we felt this partnership would provide a great opportunity to start a dialogue about power and leadership. As we prepare to decide on the next chapter in America's future, there's a lot to be learned from those who defined our political past, so we felt that it was a unique platform from which to reflect on what it means to be a "political animal" at a time when leadership is on the minds of all Americans.

Here are our thoughts regarding VR:VR will gain mass adoption regardless of the speed of hardware and content development. It's inevitable, no medium ever created is more powerful. Two dimensional screens are abstractions that we have adapted to but we are three dimensional beings. VR renders 3D experiences that induce cognitive and physiological responses because it convinces our brains the we are having "real" experiences. These immersive, persuasive and empathy-inducing experiences are irresistible.With that said, while content and tech are highly synergistic, we would give content a slight edge in importanceFor mass adoption hardware needs to crack the code of: Powerful, Simple and Cheap. So far, the most successful “high end”hardware is the PSVR which is simple and cheapAs part of the "simple" criteria, hardware will also need to be mobile and non-tethered (we are getting close in headsets - Oculus Go - and 5G networks will be key to delivering powerful, non-tethered content)Inexpensive headsets will drive adoption, great content will keep people coming back.Content needs to move beyond gaming and deliver amazing experiences for general entertainment, social engagement and training/education. Interactivity is key to a compelling experience.If they are interested Jerry and I are available next Tuesday-Thursday (Jan 19-21) from 11AM-2PMCheers,J
