WWE's Production team has been working on video material geared towards promoting the impending return of the XFL of late, PWInsider.com has learned.
The current plan, according to numerous sources, is for the football league to officially return in 2020. The delay is to build a proper infrastructure, including hiring coaches and players. As you might remember, the original incarnation of the XFL launched rather quickly after it was announced. Vince McMahon is not going to make the same mistake twice.

Features of Returning XFL
• 8 teams to start
• 40 man rosters
• 10-game season beginning in January
• Two-hour game-time goal
• Any player with a criminal record precluded from playing
• Players won't receive forum to take personal stance on social issues on playing field
"I wanted to do this since the day we stopped the other one," McMahon told ESPN in an exclusive interview. "A chance to do it with no partners, strictly funded by me, which would allow me to look in the mirror and say, 'You were the one who screwed this up,' or 'You made this thing a success.'"

Re: What is Vince McMahon Smoking?
obv he didn't address any of this, but here's what I would wish to ask him....
1. will NFLPA represent players?
2. will contracts prohibit players from signing with NFL?
3. what types of benefits will they receive (unlike WWE)...again back to the union or independent contractor question.
4. will gambling be allowed and/or scoffed at? the NBA is so all-in they're trying to get money from Vegas sports books now!
5. will you limit commercial/instant replay time?
