After the 2020 relaunch was derailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and The Rock bought the remnants of the league away from Vince McMahon, the XFL is back for another go around. The first game of the 2023 season is officially underway between the Vegas Vipers and the Arlington Renegades, and my hometown St. Louis Battlehawks are playing tomorrow. Any football fans here going to be watching?

Its good that they gave St Louis a team. Feel bad for ex-Rams fans.

The very first play of the original XFL resulted in a injury because the original XFL eliminated the kick off and instead had 2 guys running to get the ball instead.

First touchdown of the season goes to the Vegas Vipers.

This is technically the third incarnation. There was Vince's original in 2001 that just tried to be WWE but football and then folded after one season, the 2020 reboot that tried to be more like real football (but with a few unique rule changes and broadcast stuff) that was actually doing pretty well before it got shut down by the pandemic, and now this 2023 re-reboot after Vince was ready to give up on it but The Rock and his group bought it and saved it.

Battlehawks games were wild last year because fans were so hyped to have football back. Considering the anger towards the Rams and Kroenke has probably gone down a bit over time (plus a good chunk of former Rams fans became Chiefs fans and have enjoyed their success) I don't know if that same level of hype will be there this time. But there's still some hype, and hopefully the league and the Battlehawks do good this year.

I love that we get to hear the conversations between the replay officials and the on-field referees when they're reviewing a play. That kind of transparency is would be really nice in the NFL, especially with how shaky the officiating has been in recent years.

22-20 Renegades is the final score after a comeback and a dominant second half on defense and special teams. Plenty of drama at the end too. That was a really fun game, and I'm so glad to have the XFL back.

Love the transparency of the officiating.
Much better than the NFL reff ball.

I didn't watch yesterday's second game because I was busy with wrestling (WWE event + NJPW event) but it wasn't a close game anyways. The Houston Roughnecks beat the Orlando Guardians 33-12. More importantly... football returns to St. Louis today! The Battlehawks kick off in about half an hour against the San Antonio Brahmas and I'm hyped.

Vince isn't involved anymore. He gave up on it after the 2020 version got shut down by COVID-19 and then The Rock and his group bought it away from him.

Battlehawks win!! After struggling all game on offense, they put together the first 9-point drive in XFL history (a touchdown and then a successful 3-point conversion), get the 4th and 15 onside conversion, and score again in the last 2 minutes to take the lead and get the win 18-15!

the XFL is not going to complete against the NFL. They know its a losing battle. The XFL is just to be spring footballkinda like Arena Football used to be. People have always believe that people want spring football and people are trying to capitalize on it.

That's what the original XFL was, way back in 2001, and it flopped terribly.

>DC fans make beer cup snake
>stadium security confiscates beer snake
>DC fans chant "beer snake" and throw lemons on the field to avenge their beer snake
>Defenders immediately pick off a pass and return it for a touchdown
>lemons changed the momentum of this game

This is the kind of stupid shit I wanted to see from this league. I love it.

The DC Defenders ride their lemon-scented momentum to a 22-18 victory to finish off opening weekend of the XFL 2023 season. I don't care what anyone says, this league is fun and I want more.
