Unfortunately, you raise a good point. If he won't give the fans what they want when it comes to wrestling, it's not likely he is going to give what the fans want when it comes to football.

Nothing puts a better image on your governor than calling the championship game of a declining violent and sexy football league that shows people flipping the bird in the stands!
6:59 "You talk about a backfire! You talk about a plan gone bad!" Genuinely one of my favorite announcer calls in football history, and definitely one of the funniest! Whenever I hear of a spectacularly failed, ill-conceived plan, that line's one of the first things that comes to mind. (Even if ironically it probably could have been a really cool trick play had the QB not been literally the only player to know about it.)
I think its a strange coincidence that every time the XFL has a season, something terrible happens. In 2001, we had the terrorist attack at the World Trade Center, and in 2020 we had the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kate Tremaine That’s subjective though. You can not compare the NFL to the XFL and expect the same results. If there was only one XFL Championship, you can not compare it to another, so by default it becomes the BEST and WORST XFL Championship. For example, if you have 1 thing registered online and have Filtering settings where you can sort from Best-Worst, vice-versa, or any comparable metric that signifies something being better than the other or worse, then you would get the same thing in any filtration. Therefore it is the best and worst by simple logic.
Well, it seems Vince McMahon learned something from this failure. One of the core reasons the XFL failed was because it tried to inject more violence into a sport that didn't need any more violence. The new XFL will have no cheerleaders, no two man scrum to determine first possession, and no rules that inspire more violence than the NFL already has. Also, I doubt this league has any wrestling partenerships. Instead, this new XFL is supposed to be a simpler and faster version of the NFL. Here are some of its rule changes Kickoffs come from the 30 yard line. However, all of the players from the kick coverage team start from the receiving team's 35 yard line and the blockers start from their own team's ten yard line. Furthermore, only the kicker and kick returner can move until the kick returner has the ball. This is meant to decrease injuries without turning every kickoff into a touchback. Punting teams cannot use gunners and any coffin corner kick is brought back to the receiving team's 35 yard line. This rule is intended to encourage teams to go for it more on fourth downs. Teams are allowed to throw two forward passes on a play provided that they aren't thrown past the line of scrimmage. The clock moves continuously, except on two minute warnings. Before you think that it makes games too short, know that all the helmets have radios so the offensive coordinator can inform all the players about his play without the need of a huddle. This means that a higher percentage of the game is the players, well, playing football. There is a Sky Judge who reviews all the plays. Even the NFL should have a referee whose sole job is instant replay. And of course, the rule for 1, 2, and 3 point PATs (with one point being a play from the two yard line, two points being a play from the five yard line, and three points being a play from the ten yard line) have been rolled over from the original XFL. It was one of the few things that league did correctly. I hope these rule changes and more can create an entertaining football league
6:14 So you like the Josh Wilcox elbow-drop? Well that's probably because not only was he a professional football player, he was a pro-wrestler as well. And not only is his dad in the NFL Hall of Fame, his brother is the head coach at Cal.
The XFL can work out if they do it right. If they make the age limit 18 it could potentially be an alternative for 5 && 4star athletics that want to get paid right away which would be great for the kids && the league. I REALLY hope it works out cuz itd be fun to have.
I think the AAF is doing something similar and unlike the XFL it seems to be competently ran. Once kids realize that the coaching in either is so piss poor that it's impossible to actually get drafted from either they'll just stick with college though. Both are doomed for failure, but at least the AAF is trying.
That would suck for 4 and 5 star recruits though. They would have one year in the XFL but then have to go to the NFL at 19. Not many 19 year olds 5 star of not are physically ready for the NFL.
XFL always has good ideas but not great football Sky cam for one And I really enjoyed hearing the coaches mics in the 2020 season As well as hearing the replay booth
The only thing you messed up was misreading “H-Back” as “Halfback”. A halfback is a running back, whereas an H-back is a tight end. These guys were tight ends

"and his mic is being fed to the crowd...who would think o doing that?" The answer is Vincent Kennedy McMahon (who I would play the theme music for..But this is a text comment).
you should do the worst CFL seasons... the 2 years they tried to expand to the US. all the US teams except one were extremely poorly managed. at least two didn't play on fields that were big enough for example, and teams were folding and relocating all over the place. and that one exception? they had to change names before playing a game because they took the name of an NFL team
good lord! that was bad. I doubt the new XFL will be just as bad as the last one, but if it is, i'm so tempted to watch for all the interceptions and terrible punts. not to mention the stadium broadcasted player interviews.
I wasn't much of an American football fan or I know nothing about the sport but I was a WWE fan at the time and being run by Vince McMahon had me interested. 😅🤣
Vlastekjo Rams never had a chance and everyone could tell. They looked like every Florida team between 2010-2017. At least in this XFL game you get the stupid names and some interesting rules even in a blowout.

I was young when the XFL title game happened, but I remember this game being very exciting. A high scoring close game if my memory serves. EDIT: Then I watched the vid and I guess my memory does not serve. I could have swore both teams had high 20s-mid 30s in point totals... huh
The Arena football league. The CFL is actually a respectable league, and people do aspire to be in the CFL. There have been a few CFL players who made it in the NFL like Doug Flutie, Jon Ryan, Mike Vanderjagt...
Vince McMahon spent most of the fortune he'd made on the WWF Attitude Era on the XFL. The rest he spent on the failed WWF Times Square Restaurant. His son Shane McMahon had instead suggested that Vince purchase the UFC, which was struggling at the time and had a very affordable price tag.

6:14 So you like the Josh Wilcox elbow-drop? Well that's probably because not only was he a professional football player, he was a pro-wrestler as well. And not only is his dad in the NFL Hall of Fame, his brother is the head coach at Cal.
Glad you included the sky cam. Because that was something the XFL pioneered that the NFL jacked.
"A blown out tire got it's wish to be human."
LOL poor Vince...
Vince would make the narrator job to the brooklyn brawler if he heard that insult.😂
"Premature but fair" cracks me up every time I watch this
If "Idiocracy" was a sport then it would be the XFL.
That Vince McMan burn at the beginning is legend !
The highlight of the new XFL is gonna be Vontaze Burfict bringing a gun on the field like it's The Last Boy Scout
The 25-yard punt rule wasn't a terrible idea either - the Canadian game has something similar and it definitely makes kicking more interesting.
The XFL can work out if they do it right. If they make the age limit 18 it could potentially be an alternative for 5 && 4star athletics that want to get paid right away which would be great for the kids && the league. I REALLY hope it works out cuz itd be fun to have.
I think the AAF is doing something similar and unlike the XFL it seems to be competently ran.
Once kids realize that the coaching in either is so piss poor that it's impossible to actually get drafted from either they'll just stick with college though.
Both are doomed for failure, but at least the AAF is trying.
it will work if Vince has no control. The use of "X" is the result if the WWF strange fetish for the letter
That would suck for 4 and 5 star recruits though. They would have one year in the XFL but then have to go to the NFL at 19. Not many 19 year olds 5 star of not are physically ready for the NFL.
Good idea, problem is it's Vince so he'll find a way to screw them over in doing so.
And now,The XFLs first week was a success!!!!
It was fun!!!!
The Gatorade bath with five minutes to go in the 4th quarter defines this league
I love that they brought in/installed a WWE style “Titantron” and pyro for every game!
XFL always has good ideas but not great football
Sky cam for one
And I really enjoyed hearing the coaches mics in the 2020 season
As well as hearing the replay booth
My favorite coach, in the 2020 XFL season, was Jim Zorn.
I can’t believe I was actually there right behind the cheerleaders in mid field good times lol
SB Nation: The Only XFL Championship
XFL: *laughs in double forward pass*
Simarbir Gill LOL
this didnt age well
Corona-chan says not today.
And then...
The only thing you messed up was misreading “H-Back” as “Halfback”. A halfback is a running back, whereas an H-back is a tight end. These guys were tight ends
Who's here after the surprisingly good Day 1 kickoff of the new XFL? #ForTheLoveOfFootball
Me!! Lol they are keeping it simple this time. And the players seem a little better. Plus the new kick off is very smart.
@@brotherLee340 there was even a conversion from a kick-off! NFL must adopt this kick-off so they dont keep to have touchbacks 90% of the time
so. hows that going for ya
COVID-19: I'm gonna end this league's reboot hopes.
@@Nemofishman NO,the XFL (Xtreme Football League) season always better and obviously No more sexy Cheerleader,Bump and Run and Scrambler Ball (Without coin toss) allowed is the best choice to play in 20 years After Global Pandemic of Covid-19 was over. #SBNation
Well I guess we can now say at least the XFL had a Championship game unlike the AAF
"and his mic is being fed to the crowd...who would think o doing that?" The answer is Vincent Kennedy McMahon (who I would play the theme music for..But this is a text comment).
According to “The 6th Day” XFL is going to be huge here soon.
Harrison McKinney yep
2020 people. It comes back
Can't wait.
Got the AAF coming next year, too.
Jarrad Chapman the aaf starts Saturday
@@thomashiggins232 LOL forgot it was 2019 (The Current Year) for a bit.
Atlanta's team has had a head coach and an offensive coordinator booted before the season began. The AAF is gonna be a shitshow.
It is happening... *_again_*
Honestly I like the idea of the as the game is happening live interviews and the punt rules.
you should do the worst CFL seasons... the 2 years they tried to expand to the US. all the US teams except one were extremely poorly managed. at least two didn't play on fields that were big enough for example, and teams were folding and relocating all over the place. and that one exception? they had to change names before playing a game because they took the name of an NFL team
Is Jon Bois gonna come back when the XFL comes back?
He is
“They completely botched the field goal, which ended with an interception”. This. This is football.
Love this channel!!! Keep it up guys
good lord! that was bad. I doubt the new XFL will be just as bad as the last one, but if it is, i'm so tempted to watch for all the interceptions and terrible punts. not to mention the stadium broadcasted player interviews.
Unmentioned was that announcer and former professional wrestler, Jesse Ventura, was also the current governor of Minnesota. He was not reelected.
I once had the opportunity to see an XFL game at Soldier Field in February. I was like, nah...I'm good.
I’d actually like to see this league come back.
(With some rules refined it course)
You got your wish :O
...and it f**ked off again...
I wasn't much of an American football fan or I know nothing about the sport but I was a WWE fan at the time and being run by Vince McMahon had me interested. 😅🤣
I’m a big fan of this narrator. He’s actually really funny. Love the channel and it’s content!
it is now no longer the only one
Still better than this Superbowl
No...
@vlastekjo How?
@@jhonlewis5758 Hmmmm let's see a very uncompetitive blowout or a really close defensive battle...
Vlastekjo Rams never had a chance and everyone could tell. They looked like every Florida team between 2010-2017. At least in this XFL game you get the stupid names and some interesting rules even in a blowout.
@@redacted3504 people hated this Superbowl the same reason that hated mayweather fights . People just dont care about DEFENCE like that
That just want see punches thrown. And Other words touchdowns. And it is a shame because defense is exciting if you can appreciate it
The XFL is here now and it’s actually pretty good
Still to this day the only XFL championship
man, Will talking about rewinding a certain topic in sport, thats a really great idea, you guys should make a show about it :-)
Total viewer for XFL Million Dollar game = 14M. Total viewers for 2018 5 game WNBA championship series = 2M. WBNA has been around for 20+ years. MLS cup championship 2018 = 1.5M, WNSL 2017 championship game = 132K. Say what you want, but it seems the XFL could have had a future.
Wow .. great comment .. makes you think 🤔.. well I think the stage is set for the XFL to hv more success this next time around .. lots of people are sick of the NFL so the lane is open .. I think 🤔
Coincidence?
8 is a number.
There are 8 letters in "SB Nation".
Will was on Dorktown sometimes.
Dorktown was Pretty Good.
John Bois hosted Dorktown and Pretty Good.
John Bois is our god.
God has 3 letters.
Boi has 3 letters.
Boi starts with the same letter as Barry Bonds.
So please watch his good video on Barry Bonds thank you
the 2023 championship game was far better
I was young when the XFL title game happened, but I remember this game being very exciting. A high scoring close game if my memory serves. EDIT: Then I watched the vid and I guess my memory does not serve. I could have swore both teams had high 20s-mid 30s in point totals... huh
😮💨
Do a rewinder of the post-Katrina blocked punt. My dad's family is from Louisiana and that singular moment meant so much to them.
Where do the best players not quite good enough for the NFL play? Canada, AAF or XFL?
The Arena football league. The CFL is actually a respectable league, and people do aspire to be in the CFL. There have been a few CFL players who made it in the NFL like Doug Flutie, Jon Ryan, Mike Vanderjagt...
6:59 Describes the XFL perfectly😂
The Worst Grey Cup? I mean if you're gonna do non-NFL football videos why not the league up north?
McJohnson best and worst please!
10:23 - Ain't gonna happen; XFL filed for Chapter 11. 😕
Fast forward to the start of XFL 2.0 and it’s a vast improvement.
Vince McMahon spent most of the fortune he'd made on the WWF Attitude Era on the XFL. The rest he spent on the failed WWF Times Square Restaurant.
His son Shane McMahon had instead suggested that Vince purchase the UFC, which was struggling at the time and had a very affordable price tag.
