If he was smart, and he's not, he'd make it a developmental league for the NFL. Kids who couldn't get into college could get tryouts, or, young guys that didn't quite make the NFL could hone their skills. THEN, he could negotiate a draft system or a team by team minor league like baseball.

But he will be making 10x plus to be a coach in NFL vs a QB in XFL. Not to worried about this one.

Bad time to jump in. People are watching less football and just sports in general.

Seems like the perfect time to offer an alternative to the NFL specifically for the reasons you listed.

It's in the premium member forum, so it makes sense why you can't see it

I don't think people are tired of football, just how things are run by the NFL. If you look at the fans who are most fed up with the NFL and the fans of the WWE, I am confident there will be a large crossover. So starting a league that will target those fans is very smart.

Think about it for a while. It's not quite that simple. People are tired of the NFL. And to your first post, TV viewership is down, but the sport is still very popular, and many are watching by different means.

If he airs it exclusively on the WWE Network they'll get a nice bump in subscriptions.

No people are tired of football. The problem is too many games. It used to be you would have games on sunday and monday but now that they added thursday people are getting more than they want. Add cord cutting to that and people just lost interest. A new league with worse players wont fix the problem.

You really think people would get subscription to wwe network to watch football when they have stopped watching games that are free. People are dropping espn as well.
