BigBallChunkyTime posted:True, but I'm sad for all the players, coaches, etc who fully committed to the league to try to earn their way back/in to the NFL. On the positive side, it worked for quite a few of them, at least as far as predraft rosters are concerned. Pittsburgh alone picked up like six XFL players

Sell it back to the people a la Green Bay. I’d buy an XFL ownership certificate for a buck.

So what I'm taking from this is that the XFL was going to go the way of the AAF if there hadn't been a pandemic.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:I thought the whole thing was Vince had fully funded this thing for the season? That was before the WWE stock price tanked. The potential loss even if the XFL had eventually failed looked a lot more manageable when the shares were high off the back of the huge deals with Fox and NBCU, a lot less so now that reality has set in. And that was likely to have happened even if the pandemic hadn't happened, COVID just sped things along.

Even if he wanted to relaunch, he just hosed over a lot of people on money and they probably wouldn't work with him in the future https://411mania.com/wrestling/xfl-bankruptcy-filing-update-vince-mcmahon-money/ quote:Per Meltzer after speaking to sources in New York, Vince McMahon declaring bankruptcy for the XFL “in a sense” hurt his reputation because Meltzer’s sources know McMahon is worth “billions” and that he reportedly earmarked $300 million to spend on the XFL revival. Meltzer states that despite earmarking $300 million for the return of the XFL, McMahon did not end up spending that much on it. He added, “Essentially, he’s [Vince] screwing the people who he worked with: the coaches, the arenas, the stadiums I should say. A lot of the people he owed money to are the stadiums.”

I mean that's exactly how the AAF spun down too (well at least the XFL gave last paychecks) Bankruptcy and debt forgiveness for corporations, not for students

What are the odds that Vince is glad that the Pandemic gave him an excuse to bail out of the league and save him money in the long term?

He talked Andrew into retirement, so that when he signed with the XFL for year two the viewership would naturally spike. Now Vince is trying to fold the league, and Oliver's ace in the hole has turned to poo poo.
