NBC
and Vince McMahon's WWF finally decided to stop banging their collective
heads against the wall and announced the end of the XFL.
The misguided enterprise, which reportedly cost WWF $35 million and
NBC $50 million, ultimately fell victim to viewer apathy. Not even
the jiggling cheerleaders could save it from the fact that the football
was terrible and no-one cared.
Well, at least the whole thing proved P.T. Barnum wrong: it turns
out you can lose money underestimating the American public. |

68 - Roman

a popular ruler, it didn't take him long to mess things up.
Killing his mother didn't do much for his rep, either.
