Vince Mcmahon - XFL Reboot is happening

Smart timing, but it wont work.

the fuck?

Emperor Smeat 12-16-2017 01:52 AM

I'd be shocked if it doesn't fail as miserably as the original league. Assuming it gets made official next month, need at least a year or two just to build it and have a slightly better chance at avoiding the same problems that doomed the original league.

Only real bright side is maybe it means less time for Vince to constantly meddling in the WWE and can actually start improving overall for the long term.

Emperor Smeat 12-16-2017 02:24 AM

According to rumors going around, possible main reason for XFL's return is to cater to those boycotting the NFL and appease them by getting an official endorsement of the league by Trump.

Could explain why Vince wants to do this on his own and not involve the WWE in any way in case of potential controversies or negative backlash.

I could totally see that being the class

Frank Drebin 12-16-2017 07:27 AM

They should add Rod "He Hate Me" Smart to the HOF.

Gerard 12-16-2017 08:30 AM

Vince in yet another outside "wrasslin" venture, another money losing shit-storm inbound.

Danny Electric 12-16-2017 09:04 AM

I'd laugh if all the players get on their knee during the anthem.

ClockShot 12-16-2017 09:52 AM

Vince is out of his damn mind if he's thinking about bringing the XFL back.

Betcha Trump would back him if he eventually gets thrown out of office.

This should be moved to the sports thread. XFL is not rasslin and DOES NOT belong here. Backyard rasslin gets DELETED, so this must go too. DELETE DELETE

They also recently re-trademarked 'He Hate Me' @Drebin

Vince sold 100 million of his WWE stock to help fund his new company....

Why the fuck woul they add Kid Rock? I don't even remember him ever showing up in WWE.

He did the theme song for a WM or two and some ppvs iirc....'celebrity wing'

Sixx 12-22-2017 12:54 PM

He should not be allowed near any kind of hall of fame.

Unless there's a "White dipshits acting black" HoF.

Wigger wing of the HOF

They should have Kid Kash come out and hit him with Dead Level.

I wonder if they could get Jim Carrey to show up and accept for Andy Kaufman if they inducted him.

For this he should get socked in the fucking face, not inducted.

Emperor Smeat 12-22-2017 10:17 PM

WWE's stocks managed to lose around $2.34 of its value since Vince's announcement of the $100 million cash out likely to help fund the revival.

Even with him specifically stating he isn't giving away any control of the WWE, investors still seem a bit worried at him juggling both the WWE and XFL at the same time.

Last time Vince ran the XFL, it wiped out an entire year's worth of WWE profits.

Acting black? I thought it was pretty common knowledge that he’s a huge white trash hillbilly

But he's not. His dad was rich and he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He's a phony.

You don’t have to be poor to be white trash

He's somehow trying to mix being a hillbilly with acting black which just makes him look like a coked up monkey.
