and Vince McMahon has basically said that it's going to be nothing like the 2000 XFL and really it won't be much different than the NFL but they're going to force their players to stand and sing for the national anthem.

Wow, after waiting nearly 20 years for it to come back I can't believe they're fucking it up.

You were waiting 20 years for the XFL to come back? Seriously???

As someone who was a fan of wrestling in 2000 and watched WWE back then I can't say I even remembered it until it became cool for Youtube people to rip it a new asshole.

It will be just like the NFL except for the complete lack of talented players.

Given that the whole marketing strategy was filler between actual football seasons, manage your expectations.

I imagine they are trying to capture the current ignorant demographic that's boycotting the NFL because they think the kneeling is an anti-American protest....in 2 years, lolz.

That's only a small factor.

The big thing is that both the NFL and WWE's ratings have been dropping with what looks like no upswing for the foreseeable future.

It won't work unless it's a minor league system for the NFL and even then it's iffy.

I sort of agree, but now's the opportune time, if there is one, to try and compete with the NFL.

Hell, not even compete. But just get in on the Football market while the monopoly's weakening.

Because they tried to brand it as something different then didn't actually have it be all that different.

I agree. People want their football but also want to boycott the NFL; they may be able to carve out a market if they go ultra-right 'merica with the theme of it.

I wonder what it'll cost to start a team.

We should crowdfund one.
