The XFL draft is coming up this weekend and some of the names popping up are Rashawn Salam, Alvin Harper, and Jim Drukenmiller. My point is Mcmanhan has a no felons rule for the XFL so some other players are barred from entering the draft ie: Lawrence Phillips, Cecil Collins. You would think he would take all the players he could because the XFL is gonna have a hard enough time making it, what do you guys think or do you even give a shit?

You can't compare the XFL to the WBF. Bodybuilding, sadly, is not a sport that has a widespread audience. You can't compare the attendance at Mr. Olympia to the attendance at a regular everyday football or baseball game. People will watch XFL. People will love XFL. XFL will crush NFL.

How long will it take Vince McMahon to crush the NFL? I'd give it 10-15. No more than that.

They've already crushed WCW. Linda McMahon has confirmed a rumor stating that the WWF is looking into buying WCW. Just another notch for Vince.

XFL will be a bust. It's like the Arena league except it has a popular owner. He may have money but do the owners of the teams have enough to keep a guy out of the NFL draft by signing him to an XFL team?

XFL is nothing more than a massive future write off, that was all it was originated for anyway. That is the case with WBF, remember the WWF was making tons of money then, so Vinny needed a write off, hence... WBF, Look for XFL to last two seasons at the MOST!!!!!!!

The one major fuck up for the XFL. Mchanon is the one lone owner. That's right he and he alone owns all the teams.

I agree, the only league that has even competed with the modren NFL was the USFL they got a lot of draft picks straight out of college. My theroy is we have seasons,and if something is out of season it will have a very hard time competing with the sport that is in season.
