I'd be shocked if it doesn't fail as miserably as the original league. Assuming it gets made official next month, need at least a year or two just to build it and have a slightly better chance at avoiding the same problems that doomed the original league.

Only real bright side is maybe it means less time for Vince to constantly meddling in the WWE and can actually start improving overall for the long term.

Emperor Smeat

According to rumors going around, possible main reason for XFL's return is to cater to those boycotting the NFL and appease them by getting an official endorsement of the league by Trump.

Could explain why Vince wants to do this on his own and not involve the WWE in any way in case of potential controversies or negative backlash.

WWE's stocks managed to lose around $2.34 of its value since Vince's announcement of the $100 million cash out likely to help fund the revival.

Even with him specifically stating he isn't giving away any control of the WWE, investors still seem a bit worried at him juggling both the WWE and XFL at the same time.

Last time Vince ran the XFL, it wiped out an entire year's worth of WWE profits.

This is such interesting news. I imagine that Alpha Entertainment is probably going to dip its fingers into many different pots, but the football stuff is...intriguing and controversial. Vince thinks he can fill this gap, but is it really wide enough to even fuck?

I can also see him starting this sort of venture, because he's not the sort of guy who is going to be able to just "let go" of WWE. He's going to need to throw himself into something else. I also wonder if there is a bit of a "lightning rod" mentality here. Obviously he wants this to work, but when people talk about Vince McMahon, they're going to talk about the WWE. This is a way to kind of side-promote the WWE without really promoting them. Late night talk show hosts are going to be mentioning WWE far more now than they have had cause to for years, for example.

There isn't a market for this at all. It'll be like the USFL or XFL 2.0. It'll get a look from people the first couple of weeks and it will die a quick death

There's a reason why so many leagues have tried and failed miserably. If you want to watch pro football, you watch the best play it. The sports landscape is completely different from the wrestling landscape, which would benefit greatly with an actual #2 promotion. Football, baseball, basketball, it doesn't work.

Again, in wrestling sure a second promotion starting up is great. In American sports it doesn't work. The whole "Americana" thing is football. White America watch the NFL.

They're not going seriously going to switch over to XFL 2.0 because they stand for the anthem or some other bogus crap. All those people that "swore off" the NFL because of the kneeling have either come back to watch or never left in the first place. They won't jump over and watch far crappier talent just because they hold the American flag between plays.

Evil Vito
12-26-2017, 11:19 AM
One of the biggest criticisms of the XFL was the talent was low/middle tier. You got sub-par football, with inexperienced players making sloppy plays. Unless Vince is willing to offer contracts that rival the NFL rookie contracts...keep in mind No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett will earn approximately $30,427,372 over his rookie contract with the Cleveland Browns, including a $20,259,698 signing bonus, no other football league will ever come close to the NFL

So buying out the majority of his competition and whittling down the amount of possible competitors (and by default, alternatives) wasn't a major part of his success? Ok...

Vince seems to have the delusion that he is all the things people say he is, yet has never been successful outside of "sports entertainment". Just seems every so often he likes to wank away money on a concept that has 1 foot in the grave from the moment its conceived. Of course being surrounded by yes men is probably a major part of him believing his own bs.

So buying out the majority of his competition and whittling down the amount of possible competitors (and by default, alternatives) wasn't a major part of his success? Ok...


Correct it was not.

Honestly cant remember a time he bought a competitor out...

Everytime he bought someone was after he'd crushed their business model is there a single competitor he had to buy out?

Vince seems to have the delusion that he is all the things people say he is, yet has never been successful outside of "sports entertainment". Just seems every so often he likes to wank away money on a concept that has 1 foot in the grave from the moment its conceived. Of course being surrounded by yes men is probably a major part of him believing his own bs.


Outside of wrestling he's terrible. He didn't "buy out" The AWA, GCW, WCCW Maple Leaf Wrestling etc. If it wasn't Vince, it would have been someone else. Those territories were sitting ducks.

Stampede. Although they just ended up reopening. Montreal too to an extent. Maple Leaf Wrestling joined Vince because Crockett was sending them shit wrestlers. AWA and Central States were more or less running the same cards for a decade. WCCW died because their wrestlers died. Mid South was bought by Crockett who also took over Central States and Florida

Stampede as a competitor is a bit of stretch but ill give it to you

So vinces success is because he bought stampede out. Seems legit,

Oh no, I wasn't insinuating that Stampede was a competitor but it's really the only instance of Vince buying up a territory. Vince wanted to use it as a developmental territory. Develop young talent while cycling stale talent. Tom Magee and Outback Jack are two examples (although calling them talent is a stretch lol)

Could probably claim by technically his purchase of WWWF/WWF since he was directly competing against his father's vision over the direction of wrestling. Sped up the process for his grand plans by a couple of years instead of normally waiting to inherit the company.

He also kinda/sorta bought out Paul Boesch but that was more of a mercy killing due to the NWA killing Houston, not Vince

Yes definitley and thank God he did. The WWF's t.v show was friggen atrocious in late 82-83 aside from Muraco/Snuka. He had to change. 1983 is such an interesting year for the company.

The issue with the NFL is over-saturation. Thursday night, Sunday Night and Monday night. It's too much.

It's a good thing that Vince McMahon knows how to not over-saturate with a product.

Sixx is from a country with maybe 3 black people. Not to say you are wrong to be irritated /disappointed/offended but he will fail to understand your plight.

OK, so I just let that ride? It's not like I was attacking Sixx. I enjoy him as a poster and a presence around here. I'm just stating my side of it. He's probably never gotten this tangible to a very real reality for me and people like me. What are you even trying to say with that post? He's too dumb to get it? I'm just typing here, dude. I don't carry any of this with me.

What I'm getting at is exactly what my post said. You don't need to let it slide, but it's going to be a revolving door of him saying fairly ignorant "Sixx" things, and you going "dude, wtf". I've had similar convos with him, just speaking from experience.

If Vince really is reviving the league, official announcement likely won't happen till after mid-March due to trademark issues. Current XFL trademark won't be approved till that time and other football related trademarks are currently being disputed.

According to PWInsider, there are some new updates with some of the trademarks that were filed. Through McMahon's VKM Ventures, LLC, "UFL" has been giving an initial refuse due to conflict with another "UFL" trademark of the Urban Fitness League (fitness/weightlifting). So, that will be stalled out until McMahon can provide more information about why there wouldn't be any conflicts between the two companies. The group also applied for eight different classifications and identifications of goods and services, but sent funds for the processing fee of only one class.

"United Football League" is moving forward, despite an active trademark on the name from 2010, most likely from the original United Football League. Finally, the "XFL" trademark will be in limbo until around March 16, since there are three month waiting periods on new trademark applications.
