re: XFL Discussion
To expand on that. Start with the bad news they aren't getting a right fees, which is to be expected given what happened with the AAF. Now the good news they aren't paying for TV time like AAF did and FOX/ABC are covering production costs (said to be around $400K per game).

That's a real good (borderline great) deal, IMO, given that the AAF lasted 3 months and the original XFL lasted a year and lost NBC/Vince $50M.

re: XFL Discussion
I wonder if the FOX/FS1 deal was helped because of WWE moving to FOX. FS1 also getting a WWE show too. So relationship is preexisting between Vince and FOX exec's.

It really is. Hearing people on other sites bury it, but that's purely anti-WWE/Vince bias.

Going with something different with those game times. 2pm and 5pm on Saturdays.

Hoping they get some kind of Canadian TV deal as well otherwise I might have to go "elsewhere" for the ESPN/FS1 games.

I'm sure TSN or SN will get it. Given the time the games happen, they have room for it since it won't mess up NHL or NBA scheduling.

re: XFL Discussion
What difference is this than the AAF? How were they able to secure these huge TV deals when the AAF wasn't?

It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

Almost certain it's because of Vince WWE track record. He has the business knowledge & obviously the cash flow.
