    Default New Professional Football League?

    WWE CEO is expected to start up another new professional football league. Will this one last longer than one season? And lose less than 70 million?

    Maybe he will bring in The Rock to be the face of the league?

    It could end well in comparison to the 70 million he lost with the XFL?

    Vince McMahon is an idiot and a douchebag very much in the mold of Trump. Just like last time, the NFL will crush his fledgling league into the dust. Not having Jesse Ventura as an analyst in the booth would be a good start.

    It could be 90% better than the last time and it would still be an epic fail.

    Perhaps, instead of intentionally creating a spectacle sport, he'll get serious this time and actually want to make a league with an opportunity to be successful.

    or maybe we're going to get a curveball and he's introducing a hybrid of football meets American Ninja Warrior

    Oh, dont get me wrong. Great as a sidekick for Arnold. Loved it. Talking as himself during football games? Not so much.

    If he was strategic he should create a semi-pro league.... a feeder league for the NFL.

    The NHL has the AHL.
    The MLB has the minor leagues.
    The NFL has what? College football? Where Kids can only play so long? Or the practice squad? Where the guys don't get to play really? Or the CFL which is a different game?

    this would mean he has to share the microphone. the NFL/CFL are not invited.

    The claims in the reports I read said he learned from his mistakes with the XFL and it was going to be more about football then a spectacle like the XFL. haha

    Did anyone every watch XFL? I never, but I picture it as Slap Shot 2... where the games are full scripted and there are fights and wrestling moves pulled out instead of a regular tackle. haha
