The XFL was a professional American football league that played its only season in 2001. The XFL was operated as a joint venture between the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and NBC. The XFL was conceived as an outdoor football league that would begin play immediately after the National Football League season ended, to take advantage of the perceived lingering public desire to watch football after the NFL and college football seasons conclude. It was promoted as having fewer rules to encourage rougher play than other major leagues, while its telecasts featured sports entertainment elements inspired by professional wrestling (and in particular, the WWF's then-current "Attitude Era"), including heat and kayfabe, and suggestively-dressed cheerleaders.

  • La XFL es una liga profesional estadounidense de fútbol americano organizada por la WWE y la NBC. El campeonato celebró su primera temporada en 2001 para luego disolverse al final de la temporada y regresar para una nueva competición en febrero de 2020. La liga quiso diferenciarse de la NFL con un aspecto más agresivo a través de menos penalizaciones, elementos propios de la lucha libre profesional (como las historias y rivalidades) y una novedosa realización para televisión, incluyendo cámaras a pie de campo y micrófonos. Sin embargo, los malos resultados de audiencia propiciaron su desaparición.​ (es)

  • The XFL was a professional American football league that played its only season in 2001. The XFL was operated as a joint venture between the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and NBC. The XFL was conceived as an outdoor football league that would begin play immediately after the National Football League season ended, to take advantage of the perceived lingering public desire to watch football after the NFL and college football seasons conclude. It was promoted as having fewer rules to encourage rougher play than other major leagues, while its telecasts featured sports entertainment elements inspired by professional wrestling (and in particular, the WWF's then-current "Attitude Era"), including heat and kayfabe, and suggestively-dressed cheerleaders. Commentary crews also featured WWF commentators (such as Jesse Ventura, Jim Ross, and Jerry Lawler) joined by sportscasters and veteran football players. Despite the wrestling influence, the games and their outcomes were legitimate and not based on scripted storylines. The XFL operated as a single entity with all teams owned by the league, in contrast to most major professional leagues, which use a franchise model with individual owners. The league had eight teams in two divisions, and each franchise was based in a market that either currently had an NFL team (New York/New Jersey, Chicago, San Francisco); had previously supported other pro leagues like the United States Football League, the original World League, or the Canadian Football League (Memphis, Orlando, Birmingham, Las Vegas); or was the largest market without a professional franchise (Los Angeles). Co-owner NBC served as the main carrier of XFL games, with UPN and TNN also carrying selected games. The first night of play brought higher television viewership than NBC had projected, but ratings exponentially plummeted for subsequent games, with criticism directed toward its overall quality of play, on-air presentation, and connection to the WWF. NBC and the WWF both lost $35 million on their $100 million investment in the inaugural season, prompting NBC to pull out of the venture after one season. While plans were made to continue without NBC (with plans for expansion teams as well), UPN allegedly made inordinate demands of the league, which hastened its demise. The league ceased operations entirely in May 2001. Its closure was announced just a few weeks after the league's season championship game, in which the Los Angeles Xtreme defeated the San Francisco Demons, on April 21, 2001, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Despite its short-lived existence, the XFL did pioneer several on-air technologies that would later become commonplace in football telecasts, such as aerial skycams, and on-player microphones. WWE owner Vince McMahon maintained control of the XFL brand after the league ceased operations, despite many, including McMahon himself, considering the original league to be a "colossal failure." Interest in the league was revived when ESPN Films released a 30 for 30 documentary surrounding the league, and shortly after the film debuted, McMahon began preparing for a new iteration of the league in 2020. The new XFL was run by a new McMahon-controlled company independent from the present-day WWE, and did not utilize the sports entertainment elements featured in the previous incarnation. The second iteration of the XFL's inaugural season was aborted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the league suspended operations and filed for bankruptcy in April 2020, with McMahon relinquishing the XFL brand in a sale to his former WWE wrestler Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia that August.

  • A XFL foi uma liga profissional de futebol americano que jogou sua única temporada em 2001. Como originalmente concebido, a XFL foi operada como um empreendimento conjunto entre a World Wrestling Federation (agora conhecida como WWE) e a NBC. A XFL foi concebida como uma liga de futebol ao ar livre que aconteceria durante o intervalo entre temporadas da National Football League, e foi promovida como tendo menos regras e encorajando jogos mais difíceis do que outras importantes ligas. A liga tinha oito equipes em duas divisões, incluindo os principais mercados e aqueles que não eram directamente servidos pela NFL, como Birmingham, Las Vegas, Memphis e Orlando. A XFL operava como uma única entidade (ao contrário da maioria das outras ligas de desportos profissionais, que operam sob o modelo de franquia), com todas as equipes de propriedade central da liga. O co-proprietário NBC serviu como o principal transmisor dos jogos da XFL, juntamente com UPN e a TNN. A apresentação dos jogos da XFL incluio elementos de entretenimento desportivo inspirados na Luta profissional, incluindo o calor e o kayfabe, cheerleaders sugestivamente vestidas e o uso ocasional de personalidades da WWF (como Jesse Ventura, Jim Ross e Jerry Lawler) como parte dos comentários e veteranos do futebol americano. As transmissões também apresentaram o uso extensivo de Skycams e microfones nos jogadores para fornecer perspectivas adicionais dos jogos. A primeira noite de jogo trouxe maior audiência televisiva do que a NBC havia projectado, mas as audiências rapidamente cairam. A liga obteve uma reputação negativa devido às suas conexões com a luta profissional e a WWF, a qualidade geral do jogo e uma apresentação que diferiu de forma espantosa das principais redes de transmissão de futebol profissional e universitário da era (no entanto, alguns elementos de suas apresentações dos jogos fizeram o seu o seu caminho para as transmissões de futebol americano universitário e do futebol profissional no futuro). Lorne Michaels, produtor executivo do Saturday Night Live da NBC, também criticou a XFL quando um jogo com duplo prolongamento fez com que o show fosse atrasado para depois da meia-noite na costa leste. A NBC e a WWF perderam 35 milhões de dólares do seu investimento de 100 milhões de dólares na temporada inaugural da liga. Apesar de comprometida a transmitir duas temporadas, a NBC cancelou o seu contrato de transmissão para a XFL após a temporada inaugural, citando a pouca audiência. Enquanto o proprietário do WWF, Vince McMahon, declarou inicialmente que a XFL continuaria sem a NBC, propondo a adição de novas equipes, as criticas desfavoráveis da liga pela UPN aceleraram a queda da XFL e a liga encerrou em maio de 2001 um mês após o jogo do campeonato . O Los Angeles Xtreme foi o primeiro e único campeão da XFL. McMahon admitiu que a liga tinha sido um "fracasso colossal". McMahon manteve o controle da marca XFL depois que a liga encerrou as operações e, a 25 de janeiro de 2018, anunciou o retorno da XFL com uma data de relançamento para 2020. O reavivamento foi de propriedade da Alpha Entertainment da McMahon, uma empresa separada da WWE. (pt)
