XFL may have been a joke league played by a bunch of shitty former NCAA players that couldn't make the NFL, but at least you could tackle in the XFL. The NFL is becoming two-hand touch football.
I think the XFL failed because it was associated with what was then the WWF. Vince McMahon didn't stop to think that people did not want to see a football league associated with what some consider a badly acted soap opera with (fixed) wrestling matches. That's why the XFL failed, because he's an arrogant neanderthal.
vince really needs to stick to wrestling. but even the wwe isen't all that good anymore. the wwf was a whole diffrent animal. as for the xfl.... im not sure what happened. everyone just stop watching.
the reason Why XFL failed was because stupid Vince McMahon hyped that shit up way too much and made it seem like it was something that it wasnt he got shit great ratings for the premiere and every stadium was packed but as the season went on less and less people came because this damn league was bullshit
i agree...if your going to call a league the xfl...i want very little rules, and bones coming out of legs!!! thats what i was expecting and was let down, so after the premier, that was it!
I think it failed because it wasn't extreme enough -- most viewers were expecting games that mirrored the NFL Blitz video games, not CFL games without fair catches.
my expectations weren't that high, i was just glad that i could watch football during the nfl's offseason. if it wasn't for the arena football league i'd go insane waiting for august.
The only reason XFL failed was because "NFL" fans didnt give it a chance. The games were way more entertaining that the regular season NFL games were. And like lostkakashi2 said " people dont accept new things"
the reason it wasn't accepted is because it was nothing new, it has nothing to do with change, it was just the JV NFL. just like arena football or the new league that Cuban wants
The XFL wasn't that bad. All you NFL fans just never gave it a chance. Vince wanted to invest in something different, tried and failed. But where he cut the funding is where the WWE has evolved. This is why everything is the same each year on TV. Cause people don't accept new things.
i thought it kicked ass to. for everyone who thought it sucked...why did it suck?? all i here is people saying that it sucked with no reason. and why would u get on youtube and search for it ajust to comment it....
I enjoyed the XFL. I mean like right now is a great time to have some football in our lives during this time of year. NFL won't start for another 5 months.
I think one big mistake was to try and claim that players "train harder". I mean the average football fan isn't stupid enough to not realize that the NFL is has the best athletes so why even try to bill yourself as tougher? I think if they hadn't played that up so much they could have existed as an Arena League type of thing.
the xfl was pretty sick buh i was upset to hear it wouldnt come back after the 1st season. i was a san francisco demons fan and they made it i believe to the championship game be4 losing to la. buh sf had this really sick demon kinda music that i loved lol.
vince said it was that expensive to do and they made a profit(in his DVD).the reason they stoped it was no one gave it a chance and the network bak down on them

I think they should bring back the XFL because the NFL will soon add a rule to the book saying you can't even tackle offensive player.
The quarterback will now have flags on his belt so when you pull a flag out he is sacked, I mean come on, we don't want players getting hurt do we?

That's the first time I see this promo and I didn't knew that XFL was without Fair Catches... I think that's a good reason why it failed.
The best would have been a Arena Football with some changing in the rules.
