I think the original issue with the XFL was that Vince wanted it to be too big too soon. If he started off realistic, tempered his early expectations, did it smaller scale and let it build a fanbase organically, it may still never have become the juggernaut he wanted it to be but it could have been profitable over time.
I have no doubt he'll make the same mistake again. I don't think the man has any understanding of long term planning. Especially as he gets older.
