Vince Announces XFL Revival in 2020

[Mayonnaise]

EXCLUSIVE: WHEN THE XFL RETURN SEASON WILL KICK OFF AND MORE
by Mike Johnson @ 7:47 PM on 1/24/2018

"Where's my football?" - Vince McMahon, XFL press conference, 2001.

It appears that if your football was the XFL, the answer is that it's indeed coming back, soon.

WWE's Production team has been working on video material geared towards promoting the impending return of the XFL of late, PWInsider.com has learned.

The current plan, according to numerous sources, is for the football league to officially return in 2020. The delay is to build a proper infrastructure, including hiring coaches and players. As you might remember, the original incarnation of the XFL launched rather quickly after it was announced. Vince McMahon is not going to make the same mistake twice.

Last year, McMahon launched a new company, Alpha Entertainment, to pursue a number of potential entertainment endeavors as well as a potental relaunch of the XFL. It's quite interesting that despite the planned relaunch being outside of WWE's auspices, their production team has been working on video content related to the planned return of the football league.

The original XFL launched in 2001 as a joint venture between NBC and WWE, existing for one season.

An ESPN 30For30 documentary about the rise and fall of the league included footage of McMahon and NBC Executive Dick Ebersol discussing their memories of their partnership in the league over dinner and the idea of launching it today. During those discussions, McMahon admitted that he had "recently" had talks with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones about the idea of a "minor league NFL." It certainly appears that instead, the XFL will rise again.

A foolproof plan!

Ric, your current avatar is perfect for this.

I bet they sign RG3 and manziel.

Go Demons. I pray all the logos are still straight out of the late-90's.!

I wonder which network he plans on airing this on, because the NFL pretty much has a monopoly on all of the tv networks due to the conglomorations. I guess that he might be able to get on Pop once TNA dies.

[MGH]

If they want this to even have a remotely tiny chance of working they need to go all in on star power. Guys like Rex Ryan back as head coaches. Monster personalities. Convince guys like Tebow and Manziel to come back and play football. If you were a well known college star and flamed out in the NFL after a year or so, you need to be getting a call. Colin Kaepernick? Come on down.

There's a place for an inbetween College/NFL sort of development league, but I'm not going to pretend like I know how to make it work


I wish him the best... but holy shit why AGAIN


On the flip side, Vince attempting the XFL again completely explains Roman getting a 7th coronation. If you don't succeed, try-try-try-try-try-try again despite losing millons every god damned time

Vince isn't playing with a full deck

I think it can work if they just play football and don't go the were better, edgier, tougher and more fun than the NFL route.

Yeah, I was reading something today on the Broncos looking at the available QBs in the draft and how most are nowhere pro ready since they don't spend much time under center in college and having to learn to adapt to them. So I can see working as a d-league but I don't think Alpha Male Vince would want to go that way. If Vince could put his ego aside and try to work with the NFL instead of trying to kill it could be great for every one.

All that money he is about to lose with the XFL again will get recouped when he sell WWE to Disney

Vince would be better off buying or starting a minor league baseball team, or if he insists on owning a league a minor league baseball winter league.
