Does anyone remember this great idea. When it first came out Vince was hyping it to be Ur Dad's Brand of football it was suppose to be hardhitting no nonesense smash mouth football. I remember it being more like Raw with story lines and a lot of cheerleader action. They had mics onthe coaches and mics in the QB's helmet so u could hear all the drama as well as see the hard action. At first i thought it would be like dudes swing chairs on some mutant league football stuff but it wasnt o well.

Anyone have any fond memories of XFL?

Man I do vaguely remember watching it, but I know it didn't last long. It was essentially arena football right? no out of bounds and slightly different rules…You just can't compete with the NFL

 

*edit just watched the video and I was wrong about the out of bounds. I thought I remembered guards at the out of bounds line...oh well

I remember He Hate Me, they had that shit, you could put whatever name you wanted on the back of your jersey. That shit was fucking retarded, for real. They also called their super bowl "The big game at the end." I'm not kidding.

The last game was called "The Million Dollar Game". The team that won got to split a million dollars.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that, I remember really retarded things, and "The big game at the end" is one of them. Maybe they called it the million dollar game too, but big game at the end was definetly in there somewhere. Sure, I could be wrong, but I doubt it. You might not be wrong either. XFL was fucking trash, I'm not going to argue about it. Even though it was an enormous failure on every level, they tried. All the people who don't get drafted have to go somewhere I guess. And NASCAR fans need a football game that is really simple and stupid, but in the end, XFL was too complicated for them. "Hey ma, tell Pa he hate me done scored a touchback, that boy crazy!! He done hate me done set the board spring sure high, yee-haw!!!" Or the glowing endorsement "When I'm not sodomizing my sister done dang crazy I watch me the XFTL, or the wait, what's that the car on the hard circle next to the other circle in the done dang dirt by the big swing with the tractor on it?" Is it any mystery it failed? No, trust me, it's not.

Maybe your both right. Taken from wikipedia so I don't know if it is reliable.....

 

The Million Dollar Game was the XFL's championship game at the end of its only season in 2001. At first it had no special name, then was going to be called "The Big Game at the End," but eventually received the name it ended up with because a pot of one million dollars was to be split among the players of the winning team (with each team having 38 players, each player would receive approximately $26,316 for winning). The game was played on Saturday April 21, 2001 at the LA Memorial Coliseum.

I haven't heard these initials in a fat minute. Amazing concept, poor execution. Maybe if Vince ventured into an even harder style of hockey, then maybe he could've pulled it off...stick to wrestling Vinny Mac...
