XFL-OT |Season 2*| Why?
- Thread starter DMczaf
- Start date
Is the Super Bowl ad going to be: "You're watching the best the NFL has to offer! It's great, and we know when the celebrations are over, you'll be hungry for more hard hitting action! So on February 7, join us for the best players of the guys who couldn't even get on the worst teams in the NFL! YEAHHHHH XFL 2.0 BITCHES"
The AAF did WAY better ratings wise than expected. They just didn't have the solid financial backing needed to absorb the 3-4 years of losses that a start-up league is going to incur. Vince has enough pride and money in the bank to keep this thing going for at least two seasons if the ratings are on a similar level.
There's a lot of overlap, yeah, particularly in the QB pool. Luis Perez and Josh Johnson notably. Also Aaron Murray.

I still remember watching the opening game of the original XFL...or at least 20 minutes of it. I turned it off and went to play Silent Hill if I remember correctly. He Hate Me better return.
I'm sad now. It was fun watching San Antonio play in the AAF, the XFL would have been smart having the Dallas team be in SA to fill that void. There was a lot of support for the Commanders IIRC
I'm legit going to order me a San Diego Fleet jersey before the website shuts down.
It's really something I have never even remotely gotten, the He Hate Me thing. Even when it happened. Can someone break it down like I'm a toddler?
They should just keep close to regular NFL football rules. When they try to make it too different, imo it's not as familiar...and some might get turned off sooner rather than later.
All I know is that you were allowed to put anything on your jersey in place of your name, and that's what that guy put. Maybe someone else knows more.
Which is why people want this to succeed so Vince can leave WWE or flop to show Vince he's a idiot. AAF just lost money and couldn't finish the season. I get the feeling this actually might last a season again, past that? Who knows.
The only big success story was Greg Ward who jumped to the Eagles and did good.
Besides YouTube/Social Media push about rule changes, the only real tv ads were on ESPN. They ran one last week using DMX's X Gonna Give It To Ya..
I went to Chicago Enforcers game and it was one of the worst nights of my life.

Here is your monthly reminder that officially and legally, XFL does not stand for anything.
It's just XFL.
That is all.

Honestly I think people are overhating the new XFL, I'm pretty sure that it won't be nowhere near as "xtreme" as the first XFL and makes some good changes imo to some of the rules used in the nfl. As long as the quality of the games are good, I think this could be a good league to solve the 7 month long football drought.
Because it's a Vince McMahon vanity project that failed the first time because he tried to bring his carney business ethics to pro football. And now he's rebooting it as a place that RESPECTS THE FLAG, DAMNIT!
All while being filled with NFL has-beens and never-weres who will already take a somewhat frustrating game on the professional level and make it look infinitely worse when they're making next to no money comparatively while still putting their bodies on the line just as much as their NFL counterparts.
Can't wait if this succeeds to see the unionization effort get condemned by Vince as a bunch of GLORY BOYS who don't love the game.
Vince buddy gonna run a lot of ads during these games, another reason to avoid, almost puke from SB ads.

I have such a sick obsession with any kind of football league that I'll watch the XFL just to get my football fix.
Yeah McMahon is goin to court with shareholders over this too. Seems some union has a lotta wwe stock. Like 100+ shares or something and they cant get an answer on where the money all came from for the league to insure that it's not diverging funds from wwe critical areas to fund this. Given the investor amounts it's pretty sketchy where all the money is comin from to meet the costs of the xfl which is supposed to remain seperate.
Given exec shareholders dumping stocks since fall, the copresidents were openly against xfl fro. The start and have since left wwe after arguing with vince over his various decisions. Plus suddenly within a week of xfl all talent saw house shows cut thus cutting their pay severely due to less bookings as well as this year added another Saudi blood money wwe ppv which is worth more than all the pay from the rest of the years ppv months combined given the saudi prince pays 60 mill per ppv. Last time half the roster was held hostage in a pissing match over unpaid funds and Vince refusing to air live like agreed. Yeah...dicey shit on xfl funds and how Vince is injecting money into wwe and whether or not hes rolling its cash to xfl. If he claims same profits in a month with half pay to workers and a 60mill injection you can bet it's trying to hide funds diverted to the supposedly seperate xfl in its opening week.
A minor league for football that runs in the spring to refine potential NFL talent is good imo but I see xfl dying in a fire and potentially burning a lot of shareholders and wrestlers in its wake.

I had season tickets to the NY/NJ Hitmen.
The brawls in the stands were by far the best part.
