Do you remember the XFL? Presumably standing for the Xtreme Football League, it was a conception of World Wrestling Entertainment owned by Vince McMahon in partnership with NBC. It existed from 2001 to…well, to 2001, lasting just one season before its doors were shuttered.
But it obviously left a lasting impression, one that exists to this day. Which is why McMahon announced yesterday that it would be returning.
The league consisted of eight teams divided by two divisions, which included the Los Angeles Xtreme and the Orlando Rage, the two teams that competed for the league’s one and only championship, won by the Xtreme.
