my money would be on e-sports


As would anyone who knows the WWE invested a large sum of money in an e-sports media company.

Another Bob Costas / Vince McMahon interview would be fun to see.

Could they go after the 18-21 year old guys who aren't eligible to be drafted yet but only go to school because they have to? Offer a blue chipper a 3 year, $100k a year guaranteed contract or something along those lines.

Imagine if WWE would have bought ufc when they had the chance.


If you haven't already, listen to the podcast Something to wrestle with Bruce prichard talked about everything the 30 for 30 xfl didn't. It was doomed from the start.

it's a medical fact - men who suffer from heel spurs (especially the over weight ones) have a hard time kneeling.

Things that would make the xfl successful

1. Fewer flags
2. No illegal contact or “before the pass, holding”
3. No pink apparels for any month
4. Fewer commercials
5. More honest announcing during games
6. Shorter halftime
7. Cheaper concessions
8. Online streaming
9. Gambling lines
10. Fantasy relevant

If fantasy football didn’t exist and XFL came back, I think it’d have a real shot. FF is the only thing keeping NFL afloat, at least from my interest and perspective

I love the idea earlier about taking kids straight out of HS. That could work.
