Trace Adkins is a huge guy! I've worked as a stagehand with him and with several WWE shows. There is no doubt in my mind Trace Adkins could wreck some people in a ring.
During his wrestling career I really didn't care for him. Now after years of listening to him and watching him on tv I really admire the guy. He's so humble towards others and just tells it like it is. I'd like to see more movie roles. He was perfect in The Longest Yard.
I can't go with a "hell yeah" since people like Rock, Cena, Michael's, Flair, and Hogan are all in the conversation for GOAT. Much love to Stone Cold though, so I will give you a "HECK MAYBE"
For being a hillbilly "stone cold" Steve Austin is one absolutely selfless and intelligent person. He matured so much in front of the camera over the years.
XFL was only interesting whatsoever the first time because of the adult-only factor it had to it. I mean it had Opie and Anthony filming promotions for it. It had the crazy nick names, the girls, etc. Now it’s just going to be yet another boring “family friendly” B/C level league of guys that can’t make it in the NFL. The AFL which recently failed was ran by some very respected football people and it closed within 4 weeks. Arena football league is barely hanging on and teams close all the time. It’s not going to happen and I think it’s another cash grab by a WWE that’s having a hard time of thinking of ways to bring in new money. They fudge the WWE network numbers routinely, have to take Saudi money for shows now and often only sell out lower bowls of arenas. They have share holders now so they probably felt like they had to try something, so why not pander to the morons who freaked out over Kaepernick taking a knee? This will fail, mark my words. It’ll be a miracle if they make it more than one season.
DREVM actually I think they’re bringing it back because they think that with all the Pc In the nfl right now, this is a good time to bring something more for adults. I could be wrong though. But that’s the impression I’ve gotten from Vince McMahon announcement about it
The XFL has a chance to be a legitimate feeder for the NFL. If the football is good, I think a lot of people will watch it. Alliance lost funding and they rushed it to beat the XFL out of the gate. The games also weren't all that good. The XFL has a shot with a single owner, no dynasty possible, and the funding from Vince McMahon to do something. I will be watching. They just need to keep WWE and XFL separate. XFL needs to feel legitimate.
After all the alcohol and steroids he's gone through in the past, he sure has aged well. Can't say the same for a whole lot of his former WWE colleagues.
