[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Do not miss the 90s for shyt

 

[John Reena]

The XFL could've made it, but ESPN and the NFL made a concentrated effort to kill it.

 

[MikelArteta]

No it wouldn't. Nothing is surviving being competitive with an institution like NFL. Just like no wrestling promotion is or has survived going against wwe

cfl been around almost 100 years

should have made it like a second tier nfl could have still been around as a developmental league

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

That Attitude Era cocaine had Vince thinking he could do anything

Fixed

Good thing this folded. From the look of that trailer alone, the class action CTE lawsuit would have been decimating his bank account right about now

Sam Roberts newest podcast features He Hate Me and the director of this.

 

[Tommy Fits]

Looking forward to this

 

[Breh Obama]

They really couldn't have come up with a better title than "This Was the XFL"?

It Took A lot Of Balls I Give Him That

I Gave It A Chance But It Didn't Even Last Long Enough To Warm Up Too

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Muthafukas sold out damn near every single game, the ratings were trash but it was still profitable.

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Is Vince going to be interviewed?

Yea, the director said both Vince and Ebersol said they wouldn't be involved if the other wasn't.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

never watched an XFL game, gonna watch this but based off that trailer

the hell was he doing? backstage segments?

i didn't mind the women in lingerie that was

but all he had to do was present football, THATS IT.

How was it more violent than any regular NFL game though?

It was a money opportunity right there for the taking and still is.

Moving forward, any competitor league should try to launch around NFL labor negotiations.
