How many Championships?
Apparently Vince is losing $375m over the first three seasons. Does it even make it to that point? Hell, Vince will be lucky to make it three years.

WWE stock took a big hit recently so maybe he’ll find himself in trouble.

250k for a starting QB is still under what CFL starting QBs make even when you take in account exchange rates

Yeah but that’s starting now. They’ll go up if it provides viable.

55k vs 85k for starting average player

Yeah the average salary is lower in the CFL, QBs eat up a ton of the cap

Are XFL players getting paid as contractors with no benefits?

You see, the problem with Vince is that he thinks he can probably book both simultaneously.

And for XFL, I do mean book.

Do not besmirch college football like that. There's over 100 years of tradition wrapped up in it. Plus the talent level of the great teams is likely higher given they have the guys that are going to the NFL.

If the XFL teams run unique offenses and less homogenized pro style at a decreased level there might be some overlap. :shrug:

At least somewhere in CT given the McMahons live here. Hartford has a 40k seat stadium for the useless UConn football team already too.

Seems like they would overlap a lot with the Guardians.

Having a team play at like Boston College or Harvard’s stadium would be fun (and funny) as he’ll though.

I’m excited to get a sense for how the XFL QBs rate on the Trubisky scale. At 0.75 Trubiskys I suspect Mitchell Trubisky would be an elite XFL quarterback.

Is it really going to be called the "XFL Championship Game"?

Why not give it a name like the "Cream of the Crop" or "Macho Bowl" or "Top of Mountain"?

Just some suggestions, yeah.
