Ready For Some XFL?

No more than two hours? I can get behind that!
ReplyDeleteThat's how I feel too and I think the league will also get attention if they do actually focus on player safety.
DeleteTime to bust out my He Hate Me rookie cards.
ReplyDeleteVery cool....I wonder if we'll have cards at some point?
ReplyDeleteI would expect cards in the first year like with the 2001 XFL. Topps did the 2001 set and Vince McMahon already works with Topps on the wrestling sets so that seems like an easy choice.
DeleteBut there is always Upper Deck because they have never shied away from fringe sports and it would bring them back in to football and there is also Panini's attempt at controlling the trading card market.
I like options, but I'm not expecting much from this. I jumped in full force with the original, and while I'm glad he's trying to distance himself a bit from the first attempt, some things he said just makes me think it will be a bust.
ReplyDeleteThat conference call was horrible too since most were too hung up on the National Anthem and asking what cities. I'm glad he announced it with a 2 year window to sort it out, but I'll wait about a year and a half before I seriously consider them.
Also, Vince sounds like he's been sick lately. He didn't sound like that on Monday on Raw, but the last time he wasn't in VKM character his voice seemed weak too. I wonder if he's okay.
