Has he lost his damn mind??????

Has he lost his damn mind??????

I'm confused.

What happened?

He’s bringing back the XFL

so what?

He's buddies with Trump, they don't want niggers kneeling during the anthem. Start their own league without niggers kneeling and actually respecting the flag. Problem solved

Yes about 10 years ago, but this is just fucking retarded

Not all. If you read something that wasnt chinese squid porn drawings in the past 10 years you'd have a basic grasp of how content hungry media providers are now and the massive increase in cheaper, more accessible distribution channels for content. He will make a sizeable profit.

Screenshot this prediction. Then go educate yourself.

>He will make a sizeable profit.
From the XFL you mean, since WWE is turning a profit (somehow), if so there is absolutely no way

Tbh ill watch. I'm assuming he's going to do the same thing as last time where the season runs during the nfl/college off-season. I'm kind of excited to see old retired players or second chances to play. Plus I hope they bring back custom jersey names

WWE makes a profit because it appeals to the dumbest segment of society... they're easily led, and though they have little disposable income, they gladly spend it on bullshit merch so that people can see what 'wrasller' they support.

That demographic has grown to become in of the largest in this slowly dying country. He'll make a fortune.

i am so smart s m r t

>That demographic has grown to become in of the largest in this slowly dying country
That's not true though, WWE's is the worst it's been in 30 years, if anything their audience is shrinking, like by a third in a decade, what is true is that the number of people left that watch are generally willing to spend more money on wrestling, since he has raised prizes on everything. I mean about the intelligence part of the audience, again that's kind of questionable since not only is their audience shrinking, it's never been older, median age of their viewers is late 40's. It's not just dumb kids and rednecks anymore. The only reason they manage to turn a profit is not because of the audience, it's the gigantic TV contracts Vince managed to scam the network with.

>actually respecting the flag
So is this gonna be a game of 2 teams standing around with their hands over their hearts gazing up at the flag until one team falls over or are they gonna focus on playing football?

'Cuz I wanna see a game, not watch which faggots "respect" the flag the most.

>McMahon said politics and social issues won't be involved and the league is strictly about playing good football.
>If players will be required to stand for the national anthem: "It's a time honored tradition to stand so I think it'd be appropriate."

To be fair - I'll give it a shot. The NFL officiating is getting on my nerves so this might be an alternative.

But I'll bail out as soon as they start forcing patriotism as an agenda.

yeah, that's why the xfl was created, why are you tiggered when niggers kneel? doesn't matter. nfl is rigged, so need an alternative.

You’re obviously too young to remember the first XFL. It lasted 1 season and lost over $150 million dollars because it was fucking terrible.

When you can’t afford to pay for the best players, like the NFL, you’re stuck with washouts, draft busts and CFL players. So, you get football teams that are terrible that no one wants to watch.

When is WEE going back to TV14? I want some blood & tits!

Yeah, it’s called college football. D1 college football is better than the XFL was.

Not as long as Linda works for Trump/ Hopes to run for office again

He really hates the fact that he's a pro-wrestling promoter doesn't he?

The XFL won’t be able to afford the best officiating crews. They’ll always be outbid by the NFL. If anything, the refs in the XFL will be substantially worse

FUCK YEAH

Um, the first XFL was awful.

better than normal handegg, not as good as rugby since they still have to use bitch ass armor

WE BACK BOIS

I see your point but OTOH - they'll have to be as good as or better then the NFL ones so they can get hired into the big league.

>it might work

Gayest possible argument

That’s a good point. The XFL may actually be successful if it doesn’t try to compete directly with the NFL, but rather act as a post-college AAA/farm league.

His whole family does, except Shane.

It wasn’t better than normal hand egg though. There was a reason why guys played in the XFL rather than the NFL. spoiler alert: it was because they were shitty players

Vince hates wrestling. He does it because of his dad. He wishes he was a boxing promoter.

You’re right about Shano (and technically HHH) as being the only members of that family who actually likes pro wrestling

It was even on the simpsons

Bring back the helmet-to-helmet contact - allow "spearing" again, fuck protecting the Quarterback, but let them forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage, give the Offense 1 additional player so the defense can't run man-on-man coverage. That'll be some improvements.

>XFL
>minus anything that made it different than the NFL
Might as well set $100 million on fire

Vince would be running UFC now if he actually listened to Shane.

>try to compete directly with the NFL
That was the problem 1st around.

Now you got a lotta people pissed at the NFL whether it's the Refs, the flag BS, or the Pats dominating the Super Bowl.

Personally I'm fed up with our coach and want a change but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Fuck Tomlin.

They’ll never bring back helmet to helmet, even in the XFL. That’s long gone.

The best thing about the XFL was no PATs. You have to go for 2.

Oh yeah - and the Cheerleaders ought to be Strippers.

Make everyone sign a waiver that says they will be called "nigger" and "faggot" and the cheerleaders agree to have their asses and tits touched like they're in a porno, so we don't get any more crybaby lawsuits about anything. Just play football, get killed occasionally, see some nice ass, and drink beer.

This is 'merica.

It was something already established he could walk straight into, and seeing how Crockett was already eschewing the non-compete handshake agreements the territories had, he knew he could do it better by simply dumbing it way the fuck down.
If he didn't constantly fuck it up with his ego & hatred for the pro wrestling audience, they could easily be making 10x more than they do.

Maybe so maybe not. If he wants to bring back the XFL maybe he has a plan.
I don't really watch football anyway. But if he is willing to drop billions on what was once a failed venture then he must have some kind of plan.

If they had any sense they would've actually given Shane WCW & let him run it as a "competing" brand.
Not having any competition made wrestling fucking lame.

I don't watch much wrestling anymore and was a WCW fan but Shane was always based as fuck

The NFL has become too fucking stale, and namby-pamby. "Ooh, you can't touch the quarterback after he throws the ball" "ooh, you can kneel down, tyrone, if you don't like the national anthem" "ooh, we don't let anyone say anything bad about our all american cheerleaders with the huge knockers".

Fuck that. We need Rollerball. Murder sports + Sex.

> Fuck Tomlin

No fuck you, buddy. I’m stuck with Jason Garrett.

You Steelers fans have ONE coaching botch-job and you act like there isn’t SOOOOO fucking far to fall.

I still like the NFL, but I’d rather watch 2 SEC teams play.

That’s going to be the XFLs other problem, D1 NCAA football. It’s only getting more popular, has a lock on Saturday’s, and has better football than the XFL likely will.

In places where the XFL would be most popular (the South) are already owned by SEC and ACC football

>if he is willing to drop billions on what was once a failed venture then he must have some kind of plan
Spoiler alert: It's overwhelmingly likely it's a stupid fucking plan. Vince's best ideas were always stolen from others, and the only even slightly successful business he's had outside of WWE was the movie division; even that he had to plaster the WWE name on & was only successful in that it isn't a total failure.

No, I’d wager he’s hitching his wagon to the “college players want their rightfully earned cash” craze and setting up a transitionary period where the XFL can step in as an alternative to college football. He sees the writing on the wall for college football revenue and he’s laying the groundwork to take over college football’s market share.

This.
He gave you 2 AFCs and a Super Bowl. It could be worse. Your team could be the Redskins or some other team whose coaching situation has been a dumpster fire for the last decade.

>setting up a transitionary period where the XFL can step in as an alternative to college football
He said pretty clearly they weren't going to be a farm league for the NFL, which is pretty much what college football is. He'll try to tie anyone playing for them up in non-compete contracts; couple that with how he said nobody with a criminal record could play, you're only getting the shit the NFL doesn't want anyway.

Here's to hoping him being too busy with this to focus on running the WWE actually makes that better, at least until it tanks.

Basically. The players will be washouts and past-their-prime. At best, he’ll get some decent Canadian and Euro league players.

So, the onfield product will be worse than both the NFL and the NCAA and the XFL will fail once again.

Sucks to be you anons.

Bottom line is he ain't growing this team with all the $$$ we spent and wasting the talent we drafted.

He's still making the same mistakes from his earlier years and has NO discipline over the coaches & players. There was so much drama this year.
He put his hands all over the defense this year and they didn't preform as well as they should have.

Look at our tackling - with your fucking head! Shazier ain't the only one who's been doing that for years.

Yeah fuck Tomlin. He was handed a caliber team & rode the coattails to a SB win. Since those players left he sucks ass.

bunch of kneelers in this thread

>'Cuz I wanna see a game
Average football game has like 20 minutes of action in 3 hours. If you wanted to watch a game you wouldn't care about football at all. The only people crying are people upset it might get in the way of their advertising money and dumb hicks that get whipped up into a frenzy by their corporate overlords.

...

>the onfield product will be worse than both the NFL and the NCAA
AND it won't have any of the 'edginess' the original XFL had, so the only difference between them & the NFL will be that stark difference in player talent.

>random
>means anything goes
now fuck off to a trap thread belonging in LGBT

No, just a bunch of people who remember the first XFL and understand a little of how professional sports work.

Face it, Vince competing with the NFL is like anyone attempting to truly compete with the WWE.
MAYBE it MIGHT have a shot if it was as much of an 'alternative' as the original XFL was; but this shit is just NFL lite.

Yes.

Welcome to what every wrestling fan has known for the past 10 years.

Yeah, it’s not like they are going to bring back the dash for the ball to determine possession (especially considering it broke a QB’s arm in the very first game).

They won’t have “no fair catches” either because that’s legitimately really fucking dangerous.

At best, they’ll have no PATs and forced 2-point conversations

No niggers? Brilliant.. call it the WFL. I'm in!

>hurr durr it's not quick enough

Go tell that to all the baseball or golf fans.

If they can bring back the XFL 20 years later, there's no ruling out a return of WCW.

>for the past 10 years
Shit, it was obvious in 2002.

That would literally be the worst football league ever.

Nah. Vince Russo is a born-again-Christian now

Never happen as long as Vince is alive, except to be a "I told you it was a lame fluke" like the ECW revival was. Even after, Steph will ascend to the throne, & she won't do it to do it justice either.

Fuck Russo, he killed it to begin with.

Dude, your English fucking sucks.

>Personally I'm fed up with our coach and want a change but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Fuck Tomlin
Fuckin thiiiiis

That nigger has to go

No. TV has changed since the last time. Shows like the Kardashians are a hit. It's the perfect time for football to go all out nigger and appeal to the dumb masses. He hate me will be a hit.

Football already appeals to the dumb masses

>It's the perfect time for football to go all out nigger and appeal to the dumb masses
If you read what he said, it's nothing like the original XFL. It's basically just NFL without the kneeling, with worse players.

Worst is he can't figure out that on 4th and less than a yard, with BIG Ben as QB, and Pouncey as C, to just FUCKING SNEAK UP THE MIDDLE.

Vinnie Mac is a showman. He goes where the ratings are, he always has.

Niggers, if I was in charge of the NFL:

1) They'd play Double-Headers like Baseball. Expand the roster to 75 and let them slug it out on Sunday. The Superbowl would be two games tied together - so Quarters would be a half-hour each.

2) Bring back helmet to helmet.

3) Make the field 150 yards long and 100 yards wide.

4) Allow fighting, but ban end-zone celebrations.

5) Widen the goal posts by10 feet - allow special lighter balls to be kicked for field goals - make goals from 80 yards.

6) Bring back 2" sharp cleats.

Now that there am some football, boah!

>he always has
Not if it goes against what he tells everyone will work he doesn't.

This man speaks the truth. The 3 B's score 42 points and STILL lose the game??

Fuck Tomlin. He gots to go.

>2018
> Not realising Roman is THE guy

Fuck of Bischoff

You know his hatred for Fric Bishoff was real. right? When he need the ratings he brought on Bishoff even though he said he never would.

So half the players would be dead at the end of the season and no one would want to play in the next season. Sounds great.

Kek

Yeah, baby!! Now that there be some football!! They'd sell more Jerseys, right?

“Bitch!”

At least Cena had 5 moves of doom during his shitfest period.
Roman has the spear & the superman punch.

Come on now, he brought Bischoff in because having his former rival under contract for him after running his company out of business gave him a hard on every fucking day.

Also, to kick off the XFL, they could sacrifice a Live Tom Brady. That would be cool. Fuck Boston.

Wait, you want all that brutal stuff, but you want FGs and PATs to be substantially easier?

in the last two years Roman has had the highest amount of really good matches coming only behind AJ Styles and Omega.

>Roman has the spear & the superman punch.
As fucking finishers. Kind of moves they give to people who can't wrestle worth a flying fuck, & Roman has never shown himself capable of anything else.

I just want it to be wild, baby. Even have the cheerleaders play at halftime in lingerie and pull each others hair an sheet.

As corny as his writing tents to be, at least Cena can cut a promo Roman needs a damn TelePrompTer.

Require all the cheerleaders to be porn stars too, so all the fans can watch them fuck in the off season. Now that thar is becoming an excelsior idear of mine.

Only if you ignore most of NCT and are also a complete retard

He’s only marginally better than jokes like Stevie Ray.

>Forcing the guy on the roster with the most massive, unstoppable heat to remain babyface because you told everyone he was the next Rock
Fucking brilliant

ITT: Dudes discuss and argue about Wrestling like any of it is real.

No. The ratings were going to shit. Of course he's not going to admit that. Do some research man.
