At the very end, Lenon was listed as a XFL/NFL player. But that's only 3 players. If there were more, they weren't credited.

This seems like this became the MSB's favorite 30 for 30.

I loved American Gladiators. I was glad to see it made a brief revival years ago. Whose job was it to make sure the generator was full of fuel? And did that guy ever find another job in TV?

Guess I was late to the party and didn't feel like reading all 7 pages. Flame away.

McMahon couldn't get out of his own way. Kept working gimmicks and angles, when he needed stronger (much stronger) football operations.

His marketing acumen is unquestioned, but he played a heel, instead of actually working the positive angles and being a serious ambassador. If the football were better (say, if that second game were the 54 million premiere), the league would have had a better chance.

This. Man, if they had just given 1 more year to prep and started in 2002 instead. What would have happened?

I wish I could lose $35 million on something and have it be just a drop in the bucket

I think they were showing the guys that played in Super Bowls not just the league

Well, he'd just defeated and bought WCW, his main rival. It's understandable if he felt bulletproof at that time.

I want Steve Austin on his next podcast to say. So I was watching the XFL 30 for 30. So about that gas fill up dilemma. I was me Vince it was me all along.
