The XFL | Wrestling With Wregret 

Here's a reminder that Vince made XFL, but refused to follow Shane's suggesstion to buy UFC at about the same time.

Vince: I’m restarting the XFL in 2020- Coronavirus: aaaaaaand it’s gone

Rikishi crashed the blimp... for da Rock.

It's ironic 20 years later, The Rock ends up owning the XFL.

moral of the story: never take gambling advice from the Undertaker

Rebranded XFL today in 2020 so far has gone off to a successful start.

I'll GLADLY take the XFL over WWE Films...

The 2nd XFL did everything right. There was less wrestling related schtick and the football was actually good. Issue was just bad luck

The main reason the XFL failed is Vince's ego. Instead of allowing other team owners, Vince owned every team. He made the entire league a work. No sports league can survive like that.

Fast Forward to One Year Later... Vince McMahon: "The XFL Returns in 2020" Wrestling With Wregret: "Well... See you guys in 2020"

"It would be hard to screw this one up... So let's see how they screwed this one up." - Brian, while holding a Wrestlemania 32 cup. Haha, irony.

Perfect timing, ESPN did a 30 for 30 documentary about the XFL

"MIKE ADAMLE!! Sweet Jesus, get him off my TV!" "Calm down, Brian...he won't be in the WWE for another seven years -" "NOT LONG ENOUGH!!" For your Academy Award committee consideration... Brian Zane and his Football Friend in "Adamle? Ah, Dammit!", from "Wrestling With Wregret: the XFL Episode".

What about a review of the World Bodybuilding Federation?

I mean, Vince's second attempt at the XFL corrected the mistakes that the original version made... it's just unfortunate that a global pandemic happened during the first season

The XFL- AKA, Vince McMahon's biggest L.

6:50 The Rock pretty handily describes how wrestling fans feel about WWE :DD

Didn't XFL stand for "Xtra Fun League"?

Just googled "Birmingham Blast" Oh no....

There were definitely a lot of issues, but it really starts and ends with trying to insult the NFL and act like they were somehow superior so early on.

Imagine how rich would Vince be if XFL was run properly

The XFL as a whole wasn't a terrible idea as a filler it's execution was terrible

Ironic that they’re talking about the Rock before he went Hollywood, and now he’s the new owner of the XFL, which reboots in 2022.

Glad to see how XFL changed from then to now. No more gimmicks, no more force-feeding Vince’s main property, just pure football for the love of football. Go Wildcats🦁

Currently it’s April 29 2020. The XFL existed for a few weeks, and it was pretty good, a lot of players had a ton of motivation to get into the NFL. The XFL shut down a few weeks ago, it wasn’t top tier talent but it was fun to watch. Ultimately, the XFL wasn’t poorly run like the AAF and it wasn’t squashed, a fucking global pandemic destroyed what could’ve been a lot of fun for football fans in the long offseason.

Who’s watching after Vince said he’s bringing back XFL

Anyone else here after the success of the 1st XFL weekend

Aaaaaand it's back

"WHERE'S MY FOOTBALL?" You could've went to the Arena Football League, it's without the NFL rules but following the basics, has half the yards and is more smashmouth.

"Rugby?" "What am I, a college student?"

Part 2 coming in 2021

As a member of the community, I support more cameos from the know it all fan

Y'all can't lie, he hate me was fire.

And now Vince hires a bunch of failed football players to relive the dream of owning his own football league every Monday and Tuesday night.

5:16 well to be fair Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson did play football in college. Even Stone Cold Steve Austin played a little football in college.

How many of y’all are watching this because Vince announced the xfl is back

The XFL reminds me a lot of this video game I like, BLITZ The League 2, which was basically if the XFL had a video game. It was a football game developed by Midway games with over the top hits, injuries, taunts, everything the XFL was trying to be, and I wouldn't be surprised if the XFL inspired that game.

Vinny mac should have made a rugby league, he could have promoted it as "No downs, No protection, No mercy"

In 2001, I watched the first game, ignored the rest. In 2020: I watched the first game, ignored the rest.

Looking at the XFL now, Vince and co. looks like they learned from the mistakes of the first iteration, the downfall of the AAF and how the Arena Football League became obsolete. Week one is over and did really good.

"Are you ready for some Rocckkkyyyy?!!" I died laughing!

that "NNOOOOOOOOOO !" was solid gold.

My mom and dad are two honest to goodness American Football fans, and I've asked them about the XFL before and they always said they loved the sport and they watched that whole season. They got a kick out of the jerseys and my dad especially is an old school football fan so he loved the insane action like the scramble and the no fair catch rule

Rodney Dangerfield never had a low point. He was a legend that carried the high ground with him every where he went

The 30 for 30 for the XFL is going to be good

I remember Michael Cole telling wrestling fans to contact their local newspapers and demanding that they start covering the XFL in the sports sections, yeah like that was ever going to happen.

Nice jab at the Internet Wrestling Community and the Palmer Cannon Joke WWE made that's clever and hilarious.

Great timing BTW, Brian. You're uploading this video on the same day that ESPN is releasing a 30 for 30 documentary on the XFL.

Interesting note, The XFL was showcased in the sci-fi movie, The 6th Day, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, where it was highly successful on par with the NFL. Funny how that's the most unrealistic thing about the movie.

Rakishi flew the blimp? Was that a fat joke? or was that an actual fact?

I would have loved to see the XFL stick around to give that 3% of college players that aren't drafted by or able to walk on to an NFL or CFL roster a chance to play. A spring football league that draws maybe 30-40K fans a game and gets decent ratings, most importantly a league that allows potential future blue chippers time to develop. Look how Kurt Warner was third on the depth chart in Green Bay in 1991/92, went to the Arena League, where he worked on his timing, then NFL Europe, and by 1999 he was a NFL MVP/Super Bowl Champion (41 TD, 4,000+ yards). The NFL showed the XFL stats of players like Rod Smart and Tommy Maddox the next season, which to me gave legitimacy to the XFL. If Vince would have reached out to the NFL, they would have embraced the XFL as a second chance bastion for cast off NFL players and that third percent of college players to participate in pro football.

that ratm cover at the end tho.

At least the Rock actually played football in college.

So basically, if Vince didnt make the mistakes, and if the XFL was still around, I might actually like football rn. Thats what I feel this video is kinda telling me.

the black guy is really annoying, can you stop having him on.

Did you notice in a lot of videos we hear "taking time off from his other job as the governor of Minnesota" and as a Minnesotan I can tell you we wish he would've stayed away longer.

Since it's valentines month. Can you do Top 8 worst romantic storylines.

XFL was certainly was stranger than fiction but there was some good that came out of it. Check out my review of This Was The XFL and let me know what you think? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mAPnRmxlJJM.html

04:37: ...Must resist...must...resist...must..resist...................... HEDIDITFORTHEROCK.

5:17 That aged so well considering recent times.

5:20 Oh the hindsight...

Never understood WHY wouldn't they just call the final game the "X Bowl"?!?

*rewatches this to see how relevant it is now* *looks at Calander* 2020...its like nothing has changed

XFL stands for Extra Fun League

The XFL IS making a comeback in January! This is not a joke!

I'm laughing so hard, right now. Following the "he knew what he had to do to bring the fans back" line, I exclaimed "titties,' then KIAF did the same. I don't know how something so minor could make me laugh this much, but thank you for making this day a little better.

Jesse Ventura's quote to Vince McMahon said it all!

“Quality of play had improved...” 14:24 dat interception... Just looking at that throw hurts my shoulder. Dear god. And people complained about Tebow’s mechanics.

I'd like to see you do a video on Corporate Kane in the future

Who’s here now that the XFL is back

I like how you’re reviewing this side by side with the Know it all fan, because it makes it more like Nostalgia Critic’s “First Viewing” videos he does with his brother, Rob, or Game Grumps.

I wonder what would've happened had they tried it now and not 15 years ago. I say this because people have been more and more open about an alternative to the NFL.

Honestly though, Rugby League and Rugby Union are both very good sports

I think this video said it well. I don't even need to watch the 30 for 30

Who’s back after finding out that Vince is restarting the XFL in 2017/18?!

Who just came here after the XFL reborn announcement?

Cut to three years later and in a real way, Jennifer Lopez is one of the most talked about celebrities in the country, and the XFL ... may not suck? As bitter as I am that the spring league that has a chance to keep functioning is the one that DOESN'T have a team in O-town...

Good timing. Not only is it the Super Bowl this week, but tonight ESPN is showing their 30 for 30 on the XFL.

Just became a subscriber a couple of weeks ago and now can’t stop watching. Keep up the good work!!

Anyone here after week one?

I love the Know It All Fan 😃

Followed you since 2014, love your channel and have literally been waiting for this since then!

4:00 in, both of yalls acting is superb. Seriously had me laughing 😂

Can't wait for this video's sequel.

"IWC?... Well, makes sense." xD

This is legit the only channel I LIKE always. The content is more than worth it.

"That was a scary couple of years" well prepared to be scared again after last night

getting it in before the espn 30 for 30 doc on this tonight

Did rikishi receive backlash backstage for crashing the blimp?

Vince McMahon just today announced a new XFL that will start in 2020.

Dude, I think I speak for all when I say that I love the knowledgeable fan, you should totally put him in more of your videos!

Watching this makes me miss the hell out of the XFL

The worst part was that they only had 4 1/2 week to practice. As a former (high school ) football player, you need a lot more time to gel as a team than that. If they were given another year to practice and bond, that first season would have been better, at least good enough to merit a second.

Man, that last phrase was pure gold xD

13:15 that locked door bump is perfection

I remember vince like " I turned on the sports channel it it had Figure skating..Where's my Football??!"

How Ironic I watch this cause as announced today the XFL will be making a comeback in 2020.

So close to XFL being re-introduced on the day this came out!

Thanks for posting this. I was literally on your page last night looking to see if you'd ever done an XFL video lol.

The XFL, dear Lord, what the Hell was Vince Mc Mahon thinking?
