Lil' Kazu Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I don't think a video game is high on their priority list. Besides 2k has a deal with WWE, not Alpha Entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPC Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 It could happen down the line though if the XFL does well enough. Grab those old NFL 2k controls and run with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWF WrestleFest Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 No one's gonna watch this beyond a few hardcore trump supporters who are boycotting the NFL. XFL to the NFL is like TNA to the WWE. No matter how many times you re-launch it, you're never going to have the history and prestige of the established brand.

Senex Beast Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Should still give it a chance. I for one will check out a couple of games and go from there like I did with the first XFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Eastwood Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 But all the best football players are criminals. Aaron Hernandez was a serial killer and he was *censored*ing awesome with Gronk. don't worry they'll get the guy who started the protest in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFL won't be getting anywhere near Colin Kapernick. Vince is smarter than you think and it's already stated that the XFL will be avoiding political and social controversial topics with strict rules. Vince wouldn't allow protests like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I believe Vince when he says the XFL won't touch politics, and will be strictly about football...because, honestly...WWE has done a great job of avoiding politics already. I don't know why his football league would be any different than that. Of course, you'll always have the players themselves running their mouths on social media. And I hope Vince isn't delusional enough to think he can stop that. But, yeah...the show itself should be easy enough for him to keep in check.

Monkey D. Jiggy Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Vince's idea of not doing politics is making a rule that stays standing up for the anthem is mandatory, which ironically enough is being pretty political. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nWo_Kevin Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think the XFL could be a success. It's not going to overtake the NFL but I think Vince realizes that. It's why the XFL is taking place in the Spring instead of Summer/Fall The biggest factor will be players and stars for the league. Part of that will come down to luck. Remember, only football die-hards and Vikings fans knew who Case Keenum was before this season. Now he's a star whose going to get paid big money by some NFL team next season. Keenum also went undrafted which means he could of went to the XFL if it was around at the time. Point being: XFL needs to get lucky and find some diamonds in the ruff. Also if you a football star in high school, you need to play 3 years in college before going to the NFL. And than when you get the NFL you are on a rookie wage scale. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple of high school stars and a few college stars who would rather get paid big bucks right away in the XFL instead of someday maybe earning it in the NFL.

nWo_Kevin Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 He said it would start in February, not Spring. You're right, my bad. Not sure why I thought Spring. But the point still being, he won't compete with the NFL. The XFL will be starting as the NFL season is ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I definitely think people would be interested in watching football year round instead of only having it during the "on-season". But, then again...sport fans are a strange breed. I honestly think a lot of people don't actually care about sports, and only watch them because there's a social pressure to do so. So, while it might sound like a good idea on paper to have more football...maybe the truth is that a lot of people are relieved when football season is over, and they can stop pretending that they give a shit. Just a thought. Either way, I'm sure the return of XFL will at least have a chance to catch some attention...if it ends up being a proper display of football, and not a gimmick like the last time. Hell, I might even give football a chance for the first time in my life. Who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
