About this episode
The episode revisits the XFL, a short-lived and controversial professional sports league created by Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol.
We are throwing (get it!?) it back to episode 55 and revisiting the short-lived pro sports experiment THE XFL. One part WWE and no part NFL, the XFL was the brain child of Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol, two titans of entertainment with no one to answer to. A more violent, sex fueled, dramatic version of pro football, what could go wrong? This topic needed the absolute full dump treatment folks.
