Even though this ended up in failure for Vince, many would give him a lot of credit for even attempting to compete with the NFL. It took balls for him to do what he did.

[@skippythealien9627]

to be fair, i thought for years that the XFL was a gigantic joke but looking back, it gave opportunity and EMPLOYMENT to players who loved football but could not make it in the incredibly challenging NFL. And as Vince put it, it was brutally honest about how ridiculous pro football really is if you break it down...something the NFL never did until about a few years ago so you really can make the argument that the XFL was decades ahead of its time. Yeah it's laughable in the way it presented itself, but so is the NFL if you really take the time to unwrap it

[@vincesmith2499]

XFL didn't compete with the NFL. It was a spring league.

[@Predators--cz2fb]

You could see Vince was feeling the pressure of running both the XFL and WWE at this time.

[@ScarFace5566]

Pressure that he out on himself to try and cure his Daddy issues 😂

and buying two other wrestling companies

[@reallyretro]

This was Vince at his peak living in March 2001. He was just about to purchase WCW, he was about to have his biggest show ever in WrestleMania 17, his XFL league was doing pretty good here so far, the WWF was doing record numbers all over the place, and ECW just went bankrupt thanks to the Monday night wars. He was untouchable here.

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

WrestleMania III was bigger than 17, WM17 was overrated AF

[@Annieareyouokayshamone]

III had bigger attendance (though inflated) and 17 had the most PPV buys in wrestling history at the time (still top 3 I think.) They were both huge but in different ways. You're right in a sense, though, because III was the birth of a new boom era and 17 was the death of the second boom era.​@@romans52345-cy3tq

[@the-engneer]

Wrestling has always been treated unfairly in my opinion. It's basically watching two stuntmen beat the hell out of each other, but people whine about how "fake" it is, but those guys take insane physical abuse for entertainment. People who watch and enjoy aren't the dumb ones it's the people who constantly feel a need to point out the flaw's, and yet go and watch a big production film with many of the same elements. It's like going to a theatrical play or movie theater and saying "You know it's fake right? Why would I watch that if it's fake?!"

The XFL was ahead of its time. It's ironically a lot like the pro wrestling industry today. Until AEW came around, for nearly 20 years, people thought there couldn't be another pro wrestling company to flourish aside WWE. I think the same, on a much lesser scale, can be said about the NFL. I think there is definitely room for another pro football league in the US. Again, not that anyone can match the NFL's popularity, but I do think there could be another pro league that can flourish and provide an alternate viewing-option to the NFL. I personally would love to see it. Unfortunately, the pandemic cut that possibility short about a year and a half ago, which is a huge shame.
