One small plus of the primetime was Jim Ross's legendary call of the one triple overtime game that pre-empted SNL: "I think I just heard Lorne Michaels FAINT!"

... but yeah, nice to fill in some of that lull weekend infomercial time with something other than bullriding or following some scrub boxers I never heard of.

Hopefully, at the very least, they learned their lesson from last time with trying to manufacture drama and storylines. I left out the camera thing, because although everyone snarked about them going over the top with camera angles, now both the NFL and NCAA have adopted pretty much everything XFL did in that aspect except putting a live mic on the popcorn vendor.
