I think a spectator with controlled replay mode could make me interested. What it would be is the match is "recorded" by the servers. Not just a video recording, but every single aspect of it, every roll, every move, everything. Then you could load up the match into your client. You would have absolute control to move around, pause, rewind, adjust camera angles, and see the match right in your face. Watch it from each player's pov. Watch it from third person. You don't need commentary (though that could be optional), because you're the one with the telestrator. You could even have people record their own versions of the fight replay, with commentary, and publish them like machinima. You could truly see and experience the fight. This would be great not just for arenas, but battlegrounds and PvE encounters as well. It would be truly unique and different from watching a sport on TV, and take advantage of the technology we have.
