What Happened to the XFL?

"The other night I watched ESPN’s 30 for 30 Small Potatoes Who Killed The USFL, and it really made me start thinking, why has a Spring Football League never worked. I mean I realize that Donald Fat Fuck Trump killed the USFL, but what happened to the XFL? The XFL had a much better shot at making it, than the USFL. When you take Vince McMahon, the founder WCW Monday Night RAW (possibly the best Monday night show next to MNF), and let him create a football league, how could it fail? McMahon introduced many things to the league that he thought would make it a success, and a lot of these things are still around today. First he had the overhead cam, he was the first, and now every major college and NFL stadium has this. Also he let the players put whatever the F they wanted to on their jersey. Do you remember Rod “He Hate Me” Smart? The badass running back that led the Chicago Outlaws to a 5 and 5 season? “He Hate Me” puts that on his back in ’01, and then we get copycat Chad OchoCinco/ChildPlease in ’08/’09. Very original Chad. Next McMahon implements the best 8 mascots ever: Orlando Rage, Memphis Maniax, New York/New Jersey Hitmen, B-ham Thunderbolts, LA Xtreme, Chicago Enforcers, San Fan Demons, and the Las Vegas Outlaws. How sweet would it be to play for one of those teams? Fucking Awesome if you ask me.

The rules were changed to make the game much more physical as well. Instead of a coin toss, a player from each team would line up on opposite 30 yard lines and a ball was placed on the 50. There would then be a 2 person train wreck at the 50, which usually ended in a no holds bar fight, and who ever got ball, won the toss. SWEET. Then Vince eliminated field goals, because they were “too easy” which is true. Finally towards the end of the season when the ratings were starting to go south, Vince added one more dose of manliness to the game by adding a cheerleader cam, which would solely film the stripers/cheerleaders all game, so if they game got boring they would switch to that camera. If the XFL were still alive, there is no doubt in my mind that everybody would gather to watch games like it was Sunday night and The Pacific was on."

P.S. Who remembers Brian Bozworth from the Miami vs Oklahoma National Championship game?
