billsfan89 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Spring football could actually work. The XFL's issues weren't the general concept of a minor league football league starting the week after the Super Bowl. The XFL's issues were the general quality of football was low out of the gate (Although it did get better as the season went on), the teams were only given 6 weeks to practice with each other before opening day, the sleazy promotional nature McMahon stooped to, and the heavy promotion at first pulled in big numbers but it also exposed a big audience to low-quality games. Some of the football-related issues (Teams needing more time and a pre-season and more sensible rules) and even some of the presentational issues could be fixed (Less WWE style late 90s sleaze, less gimmicks, and less "Extreme" marketing which even by early 2001 "Extreme" was starting to become passe.) But the public's perception of football run by McMahon won't be easy to overcome. I hope minor league spring football works. It would give a lot of players an opportunity to continue their careers.

I think people are intrigued by the possibility of a spring football league. The USFL was pretty damn successful so it seems like there could be a market for it. The XFL was pretty funny for what it was trying to be but it was clear that the people running the league had no idea what they were doing.

Klaista2k Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Instead of starting a league I don't see why Vince McMahon just doesn't buy an NFL franchise? That would seem much easier to be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big problem with the XFL was it was too closely tied to the WWE, and many assumed it was staged like WWE. Also the way it was presented was too similar to pro wrestling and trying to be to 'extreme If they want any chance of being successful, McMahon needs to be a silent investor in it, and they need to be separate from the WWE brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said they will be the same way as before. He may start it as a "patriotic" alternative to the NFL. But he needs other owners so it isn't just WWE in football form. Also so could have gotten all the trademarks again to perhaps make a game and sell it. Edited December 23, 2017 by PatsFanNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
