There’s some stroke of irony in the fact that the XFL was the brainchild of Vince McMahon, who turned professional wrestling into a mainstream, pay-per-view event and raised its showmanship up to a new level. One of the most memorable characters in the history of the WWE is The Undertaker, who has ‘died’ and come back I’m guessing more than once as part of his character.
And just like The Undertaker, the XFL is back once again after dying another death. Originally kicking off in 2001, the league completed its inaugural season, but McMahon shuttered the doors after that, viewing it as a loss and not promising the returns he had hoped.
