Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 21, 2018 Paid Members Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Who would do such a thing to poor old Vince? Well, I know who my money’s on... Swerrrrrve Edited March 21, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Quote
Really Big Shoe Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 With CBS on board for the Ebersol Jr football league, Fox with the NFL, it surely closes a lot of doors for Vince. He ideally needs a major network to pick up the XFL. ABC I doubt would want it, NBC is a outside possibility but they got burnt before, CW could be likely but I have a feeling they'll be broadcasting games via the WWE Network. Shouldn't Vince call it quits now and say it was an early April fools day joke. Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted March 21, 2018 Paid Members Posted March 21, 2018 CBS have a deal with Ebersol Jr? Surely this is the deal that Vince needs to get in on. Isn't he bezzie mates with Ebersol Snr? Quote
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted March 21, 2018 Paid Members Posted March 21, 2018 CBS also show the NFL, and the new league is a 'summer' league. From what I've read, the XFL will be too, and could easily end up on Fox. It makes the most sense considering who is involved. Ebersol Snr is still an advisor with NBC, which doesn't look like an immediate fit for the revamped XFL, but you never know, and Ebersol Jr directed the recent XFL 30 for 30 documentary which is a lovely little addition to it all.

Paid Members Statto Posted June 5, 2018 Paid Members Posted June 5, 2018 Just announced that Oliver Luck (a former NFL quarterback & father of current Colts QB Andrew) is to be CEO/Commissioner of the XFL. He's got a pretty distinguished background in sports administration, so they seem to be going down the 'serious' route for now... Quote
Really Big Shoe Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Vince is going to be investing $500 Million over a three year period into the XFL http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23947732/vince-mcmahon-expects-spend-close-500-million-xfl Quote
Paid Members Daaaaaad! Posted July 2, 2018 Paid Members Posted July 2, 2018 He could've done with the $140 million he's estimated to have lost out on by selling his WWE stock early in December then. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 He is blatantly sowing the seeds for the inevitable "I'm sorry honey, we can't afford another run at congress" in a few years. Quote

He does, but she was running for elected office, her role is appointed. It's like the difference between a cabinet minister and a government advisor. Mind you, I can picture Vince asking Donnie to give her a milk monitor job to keep her out of Vinces magnificent hair for 4 years. Quote

Loki Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 This is actually happening then? I can't see this is going to be anything but a huge financial failure, but fair play.. the mad old bastard has got it off the ground. Quote

I can't see this is going to be anything but a huge financial failure, but fair play.. the mad old bastard has got it off the ground. Yeah, the draft took place last week. I’ll be really interested to see how this plays out - the other start-up pro football league this year, the AAF, folded after about 6 weeks. The AAF model was based around having teams in areas/cities that don’t have NFL franchises, and assigning players to those teams based primarily on where they’d played in college to try to engender immediate local feeling towards the teams. It didn’t really work. The XFL seems to have better TV outlet than the AAF did, and has deliberately gone into existing NFL markets. Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted October 28, 2019 Paid Members Posted October 28, 2019 With Vince and the fool in the Whitehouse being so pally. The chances of Kaepernick playing in the XFL will be slim. Have any former NFL standouts turned up on XFL squads? Quote
