Make it happen. Make it happen.



I haven't watching and WWE since about 2001, but just make this one damn thing happen!

For 17 years Vince's ego hasn't got over his biggest failure and his head is that big he thinks he can re-create it all again

It will fail miserably again. Vince is only successful at bullying and wiping out any trace of competition which won't obviously happen in American Football

Tell us how you really feel about Vince :pac:

If he tries the same crap he did the first time he will fail. Making enemies of the NFL and trying to compete with the NFL and marketing is as a joke caused his failures the last time.

If he does it right it could be a good thing for players to showcase their talents especially if the money is right. Plenty of players on the fringe of the pros who would love a platform to show what they have. It just needs to be the real deal and not some WWE joke of a league.

The UFL was on the right track but they didnt have money and tried to take on College football and the NFL by playing in the Fall.

Find the right market and do it right and he could succeed the second time round.

One thing also is half the sh1t they used to allow in the XFL will be frowned upon and with the whole CTE thing any player with sense wont join it unless they are just in it for the money and care less about their safety. Some of the hits in the XFL were brutal back then nevermind comparing them to todays standards.

There's a market for "real football" in the states.
I was watching a youtube video about the greatest superbowl QBS and the throw and pass they used for at least 1 qb would not have been a catch today. There's too much DPI called today, too much holding, and too much personal foul calls.

The problem with the NFL is not the rules themselves but the inconsistency of them. Well except for a few of the rules. But Personal Foul rules are there for many reason the main one being Player Safety and I believe the refs are not strict enough on some of them.

If they strip it back to real unadulterated football there will be a market for it. I only started really watching in the late 90's/early 00's and the game has changed so much since then, I can only imagine what someone watching from the 70s-80s would think.

That will never happen. As fun as the big hits were to watch the game has changed for a reason. Players are bigger and faster than they have ever been and that speed and power turns these guys into missiles when tackling and I can tell you if they ever stripped the rules back to the way it was we wont have to wait for CTE to kill players there will eventually be serious injuries on the field if not death especially if you allow head to head contact or strip it back to where spearing was allowed. You have to draw the line and sometimes that means changing how the game is played.
