who really would want to deal with 2 leagues people are going to watch the superior talent league and the one with the history the NFL...NFL contracts probably wouldn't allow their players to play in XFL during offseason

No shyt if you were under contract you couldn't play in the XFL.

Kinda dumb shyt you on? You remember the league at all?

which is why it would fail...Vince couldn't compete money wise with nfl owners and steal talent

but it could have been kind of like a developmental league for those still trying to make an NFL roster and it could have been marketed as a smaller more fun league that didn't directly compete with the NFL but gave people something to watch when football was over

"This is the XFL"

It got better as the season moved on but like some people said earlier it was already buried by the media and general public it wouldn't have mattered.

i remember watching a game and they kept talking about how the qb's wife was ready to give birth at any minute...so they kept showing a helicopter in the parking lot waiting for the qb to get the call mid game to run out and fly to the hospital...i was like :what: nikkas had a storyline within the game :dead:

shyt like this made it seem scripted like the WWF... as far as I know the XFL was scripted until proven otherwise.

Thinking of ways this could have worked.. They definitely needed to up the quality of talent. I'd attempt to sign top high school recruits and allow them to bypass the NCAA and the 3-year rule. :manny:

I remember I was in the 5th grade when the commercial for it came out.

I thought it was football mixed with WWF. Like when you tackle someone, your teammate can get a chair and hit the other player in the head with it and give them a stone cold stunner.

My boy told me you can handcuff one of the players, put them in the back of a car and drive them off a cliff :russ: I believed that.. after the first game we were like "this is crap"



I should've asked myself then.... where the hell was the cliff gonna come from at a football field? :ohhh:

I wished that sh*t would've lasted.. Vince set it up nicely. He slowly started to ditch the WWE antics and by the end of the season it was damn near 100% football
