I talk about wrestling-related stuff in ABomanation, but I had to mention this here.
First, I'll admit this up front: football bores me. A bunch of muscle freaks tossing around a ball and trying to flatten the guy who catches it just doesn't appeal to me. When the XFL was first announced, I was underwhelmed by the idea. Vince McMahon has proved several times in the past that he can't make non-wrestling products work: The WBF, a bodybuilding promotion, fizzled in less than a year after starting. In the 1970s, he tried a sketch comedy with wrestlers based on Hee-Haw; it flopped too.
I don't hold out much faith in the XFL - and based on the ratings, viewers don't either.
