why did the XFL go out of business ,what happened?
922892
The XFL was basically a creation of NBC.  Because of that, the other TV and radio stations and the newspapers refused to give the teams any coverage.  They saw no reason to publicize a league which, if successful, would have benefitted their competitor.  \n\nSo the XFL was not allowed to build up any buzz of excitement, and, every time there was a screw-up, THAT was reported in depth.  By the end of the season, the XFL had become a laughing stock.  No one knew the players or teams, except when something went wrong.  It was like limiting sports coverage ONLY to the bloopers segments.\n\nGood luck!!

1. The competiveness of the other teams in the Northwest Division caused them to fall.\n2. Bad trading choices.

It isn't new man. The just played Arena Bowl 20. It is just now getting more popular and there are now alot of independent league. The Arena Football League itself though is kinda old though. Anyway they make little in the AFL and even less in independent leagues. For example we have an indepenent league around here, the American Indoor Football Association(just changed from the AIFL, the L was League) and the players make $300 for a win and $250 for a loss. So in a season they make less then the league minimum for a rookie, heck the rookie proably can make almost as much in a game. So if you can't cut it in trhe NFL but love football and are good then you drop to the Arena football league.

No, but personally I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if they did cancel.  \n\nThe WWE is putting out too many mediocre story lines right now, and needs to trim the fat and put a good product back on TV.\n\nWhen they bought out  their competition they ultimately signed there own demise.  They needed competition to get their creative juices going.

After his final match at WrestleMania XX, Lesnar sidelined his career in WWE to pursue a career in the National Football League. This move upset many people, as WWE had invested heavily in Lesnar. After playing in a few pre-season games for the Minnesota Vikings, Lesnar was eventually cut from the team. Lesnar had suffered injuries in a motorcycle accident during the summer of 2004, which along with lack of football practice prevented him from performing well enough to remain in a Vikings practice squad position. He declined to accept an invitation to play as a representative of the Vikings in NFL Europe. He made no attempts to sign with an AFL or CFL team. Lesnar is listed as a free agent in Madden NFL 2005. There was a producer-made model of Lesnar in Madden NFL 2005. Despite the name, the model looked almost nothing like the real Lesnar.\n\nLesnar had previously signed a no-compete clause in order to be released from his contract with WWE, which prohibited him from working for any other sports entertainment or mixed martial arts companies before 2010. Lesnar had anticipated leaving wrestling entirely, but his inability to secure a career in professional football led to him challenging this ruling in court. WWE responded by demanding damages as a result of Lesnar allegedly breaching the agreement by appearing at a New Japan Pro Wrestling show in 2004. In July 2005, the two sides dropped their claims and entered negotiations to renew their relationship. Recently, WWE had offered Brock a contract, but on August 2, 2005, WWE's official website reported that Lesnar has withdrawn from any involvement with the company.\n\nThe lawsuit was entered into settlement on September 21, 2005, but talks broke down.\n\nOn January 14, 2006, Judge Christopher Droney stated that unless WWE gave him a good argument between then and January 25, 2006, he would rule in favor of Brock Lesnar, giving him a summary judgment. This would have enabled Lesnar to work anywhere he wanted immediately. WWE was later granted a deadline postponement. WWE reportedly doesn't want to settle out of court with Lesnar, and didn't want to take any actions that might be seen as "backing down".\n\nOn April 25, 2006, World Wrestling Entertainment announced on their official website WWE.com, "WWE and Lesnar have mutually come to a settlement and have decided, due to its confidentiallty, not to discuss the details of the case."\n\nOn June 12, 2006, A federal judge dismissed Lesnar's lawsuit against WWE after both parties requested for the case to be dismissed.\n\nNow Brock Lesnar did compete in New Japan Pro Wrestling.\n\nNow Lesnar is in the K-1 Hero's / Mixed Martial Arts.\n\nThat's pretty much what I know.

Poor management by the MLS.  This was during the "Americanization" phase of the MLS, with penalty shootouts to settle ties, funny team names and the clock counting down to zero.  This in effect had the result opposite of "preaching to the choir" that is ignoring the choir all together, where the largest groups interested in soccer where somewhat ignored in hopes of garnering new fans.  An example of this would be the choices in stadiums.  Tampa played in the Buccaneers' stadium, way too large and unaccommodating for the Mutiny's needs.  The Fusion had their games in Fort Lauderdale, far away from a large segment of the fan base in Miami ( a more central location between the two cities would have been better ) in a rather unimpressive stadium.  Finally, at the time of their axing, these two teams where far away from the other ones in the MLS, so it was also a cost cutting measure for time and travelling.

Possibly your league could have been deleted by the league commissioner or something like that.

WCW did put up a fight, in fact they nearly put WWF/WWE out of business. At the time they were beating WWF/WWE in an astronomical way in the Nielsen ratings (scale used to determine how many people are watching a program). If it wasn't for horrible writing of the story lines and a bevy of recycled WWF/WWE superstars, WWE could have possibly been non-existent today.

Simple because Vince bought the competition, killed Wrestling, and now thinks if it competes against itself it will bring back fans. Obviously it is appearently alienating more fans.

I think they might have stopped playing. The official site has no games listed for 2006 (The first source link) and the league schedule also does not include the team. In addition their old website is now offline.

aside from a sold out stadium of about 90 thou at least.  millions all over the world via television broadcast.  sad to say the super bowl is peanuts compared to our superbowl.  im thinking we should jump in the bandwaggon and better develop soccer in our country.

Colombia, but they withdrew the bid because of economic problems in the country. When that occured, Mexico, Brazil, the US and Canada put in bids to host it because FIFA wanted to keep the tournament in the continent.

Pro wrestling has evolved a lot in the past 20 years.  In the 60's through 80's, in-ring action WAS pro wrestling.  Now, wrestling has broadened its entertainment spectrum with deeper storylines (angles).\n\nAnother reason for more out-of-ring activity is simple. To protect the interests of the multi-billion dollar industry.  Wrestlers get hurt less now than they did 20 years ago because of less rigorous schedules and fewer and shorter in-ring appearances.
