It failed due to poor planning and the fact that the XFL didn't hold up to the viewers expectation. When Vince McMahon proposed it and made the news of the XFL coming, he didn't even have players, coaches, teams, stadiums, or support staff ready at all. ... A football league takes years of planning-not one year.

Yes it is worth watching. All wrestling has it's ugh moments but WCW had possibly the greatest roster at one time. I was the opposite, watched WCW exclusively back then, unfortunately right through some really good SCSA and Rocky stuff that I had to go back and watch later.

WCW kept the same guys on the top of the card for too long, which led to their long, arduous decline in 1999. It didn't have to be this way, WCW could have kept their talent fresh for years and possibly have survived the AOL/Time Warner merger in 2001 had they done more with their tv programs.

The game is poor in that they tried to cater to both the hardcore sim fighters like myself and the super casual fighters like OP. You just can't do both. They should've kept it like UFC 2, or fully committed to a realistic game. Half of the roster you can't even use if you want to win fights.

This point may at first seem contrary to the idea of AEW trying to compete with WWE, but it's really not. ... Competing with them won't be easy, and it won't be immediate. Another thing to remember is that many people who watch WWE aren't just WWE fans, they're pro wrestling fans.

nWo did not last long in WWF, however. Nash would injure his biceps during an attack on Bradshaw and would be forced onto the sidelines for months. ...

WWE is no longer the be-all end-all of pro wrestling, and new AEW star Jon Moxley is proving that. Dean Ambrose cashed in his chips when he left the biggest pro wrestling promotion in the world, and the man now known as Jon Moxley is already proving that leaving WWE was worth the gamble.

RAW is the show that has been underperforming. He attributes RAW's roster as one of the main reasons behind the slump in ratings. “It's suffered because we bring in a lot of new talent and to RAW,” says McMahon.
