Don't see how this works long term without the backing of a major network

He not only has USA, which is still part of NBC, he has his own network.

If he gets people who have the WWE Network to watch a game every saturday night, that's more revenue. They could have a six team league and air it live fri, sat, and sun nights during the nfl offseason.

Vince McMahon when he describes why he wants the XFL back:

I don't know much the viewers for the WWE network, I think it would take more than that.

XFL? Did I nap and wake up in a time warp? I guess been-there-done-that doesn't apply.

[cookinwithgas]

Evidently calling it the XFL might not work for legal reasons. I've come up with some "alternative names":

CFL (Cracker Football League)

LoER (League of Extraordinary Racists)

WPFL (White Peoples Football League)

SOBS FL (Stand or Be Shot Football League)

WQOL (White Quarterbacks Only League) (this will get the coveted Rush Limbaugh recommendation)

[Mr. Scot]

Being reported that it won't start till 2020 (CBS).

[Carl Spackler]

Wonder if he goes with PFL (Patriotic Football League) where players fug their guns after every touchdown

Called this a month ago for January 25. Let's hope Charlotte or Carolinas in general get a team. Vince is making the announcement today at 3. The NFL is poo and is rigged, but at least these guys will wanna hit and play actual football. Players may actually get sick of the politics involved in the NFL and make the jump. Are you interested?

I do not want an XFL team in Charlotte. Stick it in the triangle where it belongs. 

Vince McMahon is a HUGE trump supporter,BTW.

This has Greg Hardy written all over it.

Since this is Vince's project, I wonder if he will be able to come up with roles and story lines for the black players.

Probably was Trump’s idea to him just so the don-tard can continue to screw with the NFL. 

Anyway you look at it - the XFL is a bad idea and even if they get a league up and going again it will suffer the same fate as it did last time.

Like that is going to be a deterrent?  At least 62,984,825 people in the United States wouldn't take that to be a bad thing.

Vince McMahon and his wife both graduated from ECU, too.  They have ties to North Carolina.  This could only be a good thing for NC.

I hope Brock Lesnae is our first draft pick

Why didn’t Vince put a team in NC the first time then if it could be soooo good for NC?
