I'd much rather watch the full run of Bodystars. Football is so boring even with Jesse Ventura/JR calling things and unnecessary roughness everywhere. XFL was doomed from the start. Then again, the Arena Football League is still around and even got its own video game. I think they're actually associated with the NFL now, though.

NBC footed half the bill. Plus vice had ass loads of money in 2000 I think off-season football Wouk be huge today. Vice was ahead of his time there.
NFL broadcasters have stolen a production ideas from the XFL
Probem was that the XFLcouldn't shake the stink of wrasslin.

A cavalCADE of STARrs!
Yeah hands down Bodystars is the next holy grail. Finding out that Vince added his commentary to some segments, and remembering him speaking with Cameo Kneuer, well, good times. And shilling ICOPROOOOOOOOOO

Some punk that used to work a waffle house fryer.
The 50 years DVD is good up until around 2003, when it turns into a comp DVD of all the DVDs released since then. They've been using a lot of the same interviews for over a decade now on various DVDs and programs. Especially Monday Night Wars stuff. I wonder if the network was something they had in mind back then, because they went on a tear of interviewing so many people for so many different projects between 2002-2005. Tons of shit. Some of which was 10 years old and hadn't even been seen until the 50 years DVD.

Now available on Netflix in the U.S.:
The History of the WWE (Documentary, Sports)
One interesting note about this documentary in hindisight is hilarious
They interview Daniel Bryan of him saying John Cena is the face of the company then transition on how Cena is in fact the face of the company with a montage and everything.
It pretty much was, except for a few changes and gimmicks (like putting a camera/mic on a player) that the NFL ended up copying.

You are right that it was the biggest gamble one man could take. Crazy when you think about it today.

It would be so easy to do the XFL today . With all these 24 hour sports networks , someone would bite on it .

I think the plan was for Vince to sell ICOPRO, the PPVs were just his own wet dream.
I guess that makes some sense. The ICOPRO stuff went nowhere as well though right?
Also if you really want to see Minoru opening packs now here is the sub file: http://goo.gl/7jGNgL
Just download the original video from Youtube.

I think one of the things I loved the most about WCW was just how it was all over the freakin' map. I mean, the talent they brought in for the low-mid card, crazy stuff. La Parka, Héctor Garza, Disco Inferno, and on and on. You sure as hell wasn't going to see such random talent and and angles in WWF back then. I loved that sort of stuff so much, it was just so wacky.
And now me writing that made me go search online for Héctor Garza and I discover that he passed away at the age of 43 less than a year ago after losing his battle with lung cancer. I don't remember hearing about that at all last year.

Lesnar would literally kill Taker if he faced him in a non-gimped match. Would be absolutely glorious.
breh, his reaction was the only legit thing in that titty shack
