If someone makes a nice XFL thread tag that fits with the others I can get it added.

It will be great in 2 years when there is no AAF or XFL but we still have thread tags for them

What are you talking about, XFL is going to completely change the game and become the future of Football.

I wish crooks didn't run the AAF. They had a good product.

It was better than preseason NFL, and at least as tolerable as NCAA

This is the funniest scenario. The XFL catching on juuuuuuuust enough to get the NFL’s attention. The networks would drop the XFL/WWE in a heartbeat if they thought there was a chance they’d lose the NFL over it.

WWE losing the big money TV deals they rely on because Vince insisted on bringing back the XFL would be too perfect for this world.

I wonder how much of the ownership of the WWE he's willing to sell off to keep the league going if it runs into trouble? He's already dumped 280 million of his own cash into and ESPN said the below

quote:

Initial investors are Peter Chernin, Peter Thiel and former NFL Pro Bowler Jared Allen.

Chernin and Thiel are both loaded and I'm pretty sure Chernin will make the XFL the official football league of Barstool Sports. I have no idea what the income statement for a football looks like but you're looking at at least 60 million for player and staff salaries once you factor in bonuses, insurances and payroll overheads. Travel and hotel budget is going to be large as they spread all the starting cities out.

I do hope XFL catches on enough that it allows the player's union to negotiate better deals with the NFL.

WWE just signed a billion dollars worth of multi-year TV deals plus the Saudis pay some stupid amount of money ($30-50M) for every show they run there in front of bored royals.

Yep, while letting their live show business tank and pretty much abandoning all other sources of revenue.

Now that they’re completely dependant on their TV deals and Saudi blood money to survive, it would be hilarious if Vince manages to piss off the NFL enough that they squash the XFL/WWE like a bug.

Guardians / Defenders and Renegades / Roughnecks (in the same state even) seem confusingly interchangeable.

The AAF names dunked on these pretty hard.
