I definitely get how for someone who doesn't watch American football on the reg the modern XFL would seem boring, but for someone like me who is from St. Louis, it was amazing. I got to go to our first game and you could tell people really cared. It just had the bad timing of coinciding with a pandemic.
I was a Dallas fan (simply because Denver didnt have a team) but I caught as many of the home STL games as possible. That fan base showed up and loved sticking the finger to the NFL.
I mean. I get it. The first iteration was so bad that it was hard to get people to trust it a 2nd time. Like that Fire Fest or whatever. They did it right and got some great non signed people. But it is still spring ball. Its football and thats awesome to have in the NFL break. Id still like to see the NFL actually make some kinda agreement for a play in game between the 32nd team and the top team of the new XFL though
King Corbin is so stale at this point. He won KOTR, did nothing after that and he STILL calls himself “king”. Please just go back to being the Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf >>> King Corbin
The XFL reboot was actually very successful. The on field product was great and viewership was better than expected. Covid killed it, but not because it was close to death already, but because it hadn't had the chance to get to the point where it could generate any income.

Vince: "put these guys together and throw the word new in front of a legendary tag team name, that's good shit!" Jim Cornette: hears about the new Midnight Express, takes a long drive and swears for 2 hours straight.
Somebody asked Corny why he didn’t have Bobby Eaton come over and legitimize a new Midnight. “Fuck, they already shit on my dinner table. Why Bobby’s, too?”
Also, of all people to do it with, you go with the two most straight laced and borderline boring people on the roster. Why?! It's like deciding to recreate the new M&M with Lance Storm and Steve Blackman!

The ECW “reboot” was hot garbage and I’ll never ever acknowledge it as ECW. The company died in 2001 and one night stand 2005 was the perfect swan song, what WWE did to it was just.. well it was shit
Was gonna comment about one night stand. = ) WWE's presence there made he show that much better, IMO. It wouldn't have been the perfect swan song without JBl and Bischoff at a bare minimum. Amazing matches on the card as well. = D

It’s honestly really interesting hearing a non-American perspective on the XFL. For sports fans in America, I think it’s safe to say the revamped XFL was a breath of fresh air. The games were competitive for the most part, the crowds were invested, and there were even some success stories of people using the league as a way to breathe new life into their football career. It’s a real shame Covid derailed the league because it looked like a real promising product!

Yeah I don’t understand their explanation at all. The XFL was actually good and doing really well before the pandemic. Harsh to deem it a “failure” when it was better than the original.
@@pigwindow yea & the only "failure" that you can even say about the league was the pandemic ending it mid season. OG XFL was a disaster but this was such a complete makeover you forget how bad the 1st one was
Even as the second XFL ratings started to slide they were still getting as many or more viewers than Raw, Smackdown, NXT and Dynamite have been getting for most of the last year. The football was MUCH higher quality than ANYONE expected and they presented it in a professional manner unlike the first league. Their subtle rules changes from the NFL were better than the gimmick crap they tried in the first XFL and may see traction in the NFL at some point. It was on a strong course and set to win a lot of people over. If Covid hadn't killed the league I think they would have been drawing around 3 million viewers per game in a second season. I'm actually excited to see what Dwayne can do with the league in the future.
I enjoyed the new XFL. There was a handful of real standouts, some decent games and it was cool to see who had the potential to make it to the NFL. I think it gets too much flack.
When WWE revived ECW in 2006, the "E" didn't stand for Extreme, it stood for Entertainment. It was the total opposite of everything the original ECW stood for. But the brand did introduce the WWE Universe to guys who would be future WWE Champions: CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, and Sheamus. Plus, Christian made his WWE return for the brand.
The irony of the New Blackjacks is both members are in the WWE Hall of Fame just like the original Blackjacks. Barry Windham (Blackjack Windham) is in as a member of the Four Horsemen and John Layfield (Blackjack Bradshaw) is in as JBL. It's possible Layfield could be a two time inductee if WWE inducts the APA (Farooq aka Ron Simmons and Bradshaw) as a team. Simmons is in the WWE as a singles competitor.
I've gotta agree, really. the 06' version gave us "SEE, I JUST KICKED STAN" so that alone makes it better than some people say.. perhaps they get it mixed up with the 09' version?
Yeah I don’t understand their explanation at all. The XFL was actually good and doing really well before the pandemic. Harsh to deem it a “failure” when it was better than the original.
The XFL in 2020 was a success more so than the original I can't agree that it was bad at all perhaps this is one of those situations where because you're across the pond you won't understand the American Football aspect
The rebooted XFL shouldn’t be on here tbh. Not because of the first one sucking but because most people in America actually thought the XFL was very fun because it had some rule changes from the NFL and it was football during when football usually is dead.
As a US football the take on the XFL was a bit off. It was much better than the original and had the fan interest, It was COVID that stopped it this go around. It was a great thing to watch in the Spring.
Those weren't really reboots, the entire point of those failures was Vince trying to prove that any gimmick could be separated from its performer (shock and surprise, that actually isn't possible outside of masked wrestlers).
Honestly, I loved the 2006 and 2009 DX. The 96-98 run of HBK leading DX seemed short, and the 2006 and 2009 one had a lot of humor. Stan got kicked, remember?
After reading the comments, I wish I had watched XFL 2.0. XFL 1.0 just left such a bad taste in my mouth that I didn't give it chance. Knowing that it's now run by a guy who knows football makes me Eben more intrigued.
To me the name of DX will always solely refer to the watered down 2006 reboot version as opposed to D-Generation X as a whole, they where no longer rude degenerates so it's fitting that they took the degeneration out of D-Generation X which may also be the reason as to why they where almost exclusive referred to as DX throughout this run.
The new XFL was actually doing really well before the pandemic. It was on track to make profits by Year 3 and was a resounding success. Love you guys, but that was just incorrect.
XFL 2.0 was good for what it was supposed to be. Spring football. It wasnt gonna be NFL level from the jump. Local arena football isnt the same as the NFL either but its still cool to watch to get a football fix.💁
As an American, I must say that reboot XFL was SO much better than the original. There were plenty of skilled players, and if COVID didn’t screw it over, I could easily see it being a feeder league for the NFL
Taylor Heinicke, the Washington QB against Tampa Bay in the playoffs last year, was Jordan Taamu’s backup in St. Louis. He had an awesome performance that day. XFL had talent for sure.
Xfl the first go round was a bust in the sense that it failed. That being said the NFL the enormous entity that is seriously changed up their camera angles and emphasized a speedier more exciting product for sure. And the second was going to be the AEW of football big buzz around this household for it. But yes covid.
That's very incorrect, Raw is bad, really bad, but oh my god was WWECW some the absolute worst burning garbage fires full of human waste and rotting corpses that ever disgraced my television
Tough Enough was a disappointment in 2015, but it gave us 2 women that is still doing well in the company while the other (thou shall not be named) was released due to Speaking Out allegations and (*cough* Hulk Hogan *cough*)
Please don’t bring back King Of The Ring as a RAW-themed episode. As much as I love Baron Corbin as a very good heel, but he needs to get rid of the king schtick.
WWE version of NWO could have been better if it didn't have a rotating cast of characters. Hogan left too early, Hall got fired then Nash got injured. People who complain about Show & Xpac forget they were members of the WCW version and while Booker T was an odd pick he did have connections because Stevie Ray. I would have argued Hennig should have joined too.
I actually like Corbin. I'll probably get hate for it, but I love he's really the only WWE guy other than Roman that embraces being heel. Every other heel wants to be cool. I'd love Corbin to be a guy that takes payouts to beat down people.
XFL 2.0 was very entertaining. If you enjoy American football, it was intriguing enough, & it was a fun easy watch & the PAT’s were really fun. Covid hust screwed it up
The reboot xfl actually here in the USA was a lot better it had some people intrigued. What failed the XFL for USA viewers was the original was all over the place more wrestling tie ins and less football since the product was bad. But the new one was a great product (less politics in the game also ) different ways to score it was great what killed it was corona
I believe Adam was only talking about the 2009 DX. The 2006 DX was awesome. Triple H and Shawn Michaels were gold when they dressed up as Vince and Shane McMahon embarrassing the hell out of them. LMAO.
10 reboots that were totally awesome Wargames, Chris Jericho, Biker Taker, Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho, Dead Man Taker, Chris Jericho, nWo Hogan, Chris Jericho
Some of these don't suck, just didn't get the attention they needed. New Blackjacks case and point; would have been solid if they didn't get burdened with the "New..." shit. They were really popular at the time, got massive pops below the Mason-Dixon at house shows but Vince didn't care because he didn't see longevity in Windham but liked Bradshaw
Cultaholic is reboot 2003 IWC. Marks who don't really understand how wrestling works. 🤷🏻♀️ To paraphrase Scott Hall, "It ain't called wrestling friends. It's called the wrestling business.....brother"
With so many of these reboots, they have no idea what made the originals great and they end up with something that feels much more corporate and generic.
I know that most of the people here don’t know much about American football but the 2020 xfl was legitimately trending upwards before the pandemic and I very much believe that if it wasn’t for COVID, it would’ve ended being bought out by the NFL and turned into a minor league feeder system of sorts, which would’ve been the best case scenario for the league
Pretty much the only reason the new XFL didn't survive was the pandemic. The ratings taper was nowhere near as pronounced as expected. Minus covid it would have succeeded as an off-season League
The ice cream bars should have made the list, they came back after many years as small ice cream sandwiches and with a totally different flavor which wasn't really that good.
I really enjoyed WWE ECW. The first year wasn’t great but from Vengeance 2007 onwards the brand was great minus the name it was a solid product. 1 In 2007 you had Punk and Morrison ECW World Title feud 2 2008 We had a previous of Mark Henry hall of pain and Matt Hardy was a great work horse champion to carry ECW World Title. 3 2009/2010 Christian carried the brand on his back and while the final champion was a dud should of been Christian not Zeke it was still an enjoyable product.
Xfl reboot did not suck at all. It was great! This shouldn't be on the list at all. Completely different situation. Glad you did mention the virus as that was the main killer of this reboot, not that it sucked.
What bugged me about The New Rockers, other than Jannetty being a heel, was the way they kept pronouncing Leif with the long E sound. I know that sounds petty, but I'm a Leif Garrett fan and was always tired of hearing his name mispronounced.
I went to a number of XFL games before covid, I dont think it's fair to bash a product when you don't even like the sport to begin with. The games were actually very entertaining, I dont go to a football game to see wrestling elements
Ok so let me get this straight..for the most part, cultaholic has been against “thrown together tag teams,” but would’ve been completely fine with the Snow and Jannety getting a run as long as they weren’t under the “New Rockers” monicker? Makes sense.
I think it probably is a sign you shouldn't really comment on things you don't understand, I am a brit but I have played football(the American kind) so I understand whats going on, I don't really understand baseball but I am not going to say anything bad about it I just don't get it and thats ok

That's very incorrect, Raw is bad, really bad, but oh my god was WWECW some the absolute worst burning garbage fires full of human waste and rotting corpses that ever disgraced my television
Hey WWE's ECW had Christian doing his best to elevate the title
@@timothyblair7464 yes but it was still bad, it was like sad smackdown and he lost it to the final ever ECW champion... Ezekiel Jackson
@@calebbonney4193 Yeah, it was bad for the most part, but I enjoyed Christian's time as champ. loss to Ezekiel Jackson aside
I knew the ECW reboot was doomed when they buried promising young talent The Zombie on his first night. What a waste.
Everything you need to see in XFL to be interesting to you…is what I need for FIFA…..see how ridiculous that sounds now😒
Tough Enough was a disappointment in 2015, but it gave us 2 women that is still doing well in the company while the other (thou shall not be named) was released due to Speaking Out allegations and (*cough* Hulk Hogan *cough*)
The Dream has no memory of that
I honestly feel the only reason Corbin won the KotR was because a king is higher then a baron.
Shout out to Adam Pacitti's arse following its successful TV debut alongside noted thespian, musician and politician Lawrence Fox.
Please don’t bring back King Of The Ring as a RAW-themed episode. As much as I love Baron Corbin as a very good heel, but he needs to get rid of the king schtick.
WWE version of NWO could have been better if it didn't have a rotating cast of characters. Hogan left too early, Hall got fired then Nash got injured. People who complain about Show & Xpac forget they were members of the WCW version and while Booker T was an odd pick he did have connections because Stevie Ray. I would have argued Hennig should have joined too.
I actually like Corbin. I'll probably get hate for it, but I love he's really the only WWE guy other than Roman that embraces being heel. Every other heel wants to be cool. I'd love Corbin to be a guy that takes payouts to beat down people.
Corbin really is the perfect heel. It fits him nicely.
XFL reboot wasn't bad. Had some good games, some interesting rules. The coronavirus really just killed any momentum they had
I remember on subject of LOD there was a slight change when Hawk was replaced by Crush in 1992
XFL 2.0 was very entertaining.
If you enjoy American football, it was intriguing enough, & it was a fun easy watch & the PAT’s were really fun.
Covid hust screwed it up
XFL V2 was good tho. I loved seeing the forgotten NFL guys like Marquette King and Will Hill on St Louis (my hometown team)
When DX added hornswaggle i knew it was over.😂😢
The reboot xfl actually here in the USA was a lot better it had some people intrigued. What failed the XFL for USA viewers was the original was all over the place more wrestling tie ins and less football since the product was bad. But the new one was a great product (less politics in the game also ) different ways to score it was great what killed it was corona
Why does nobody remember that the "ECW zombie" was a joke?
I believe Adam was only talking about the 2009 DX. The 2006 DX was awesome. Triple H and Shawn Michaels were gold when they dressed up as Vince and Shane McMahon embarrassing the hell out of them. LMAO.
10 reboots that were totally awesome
Wargames, Chris Jericho, Biker Taker, Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho, Dead Man Taker, Chris Jericho, nWo Hogan, Chris Jericho
ED: just realised that the title is WWE reboots, so ig you can't have Hogan
Who doesn't love a reboot?
What's that? Everyone?
*Meanwhile*
Batman Begins and Casino Royale AND Bumblebee: Are we a joke to u??
Some of these don't suck, just didn't get the attention they needed. New Blackjacks case and point; would have been solid if they didn't get burdened with the "New..." shit. They were really popular at the time, got massive pops below the Mason-Dixon at house shows but Vince didn't care because he didn't see longevity in Windham but liked Bradshaw
My favorite moment of this video:When Adam says he has no material for a top 10 reboots that were awesome.
Cultaholic is reboot 2003 IWC. Marks who don't really understand how wrestling works. 🤷🏻♀️
To paraphrase Scott Hall, "It ain't called wrestling friends. It's called the wrestling business.....brother"
Could have decided to make him a cruiserweight legend.
Well with the XFL there was a whole pandemic that occurred. Soo that’s something
Honestly I like both versions of DX. I like the concept of them molding with the times and letting another generation see the dynamic duo.
With so many of these reboots, they have no idea what made the originals great and they end up with something that feels much more corporate and generic.

Shawn Michaels: Am I a joke to you?
I know that most of the people here don’t know much about American football but the 2020 xfl was legitimately trending upwards before the pandemic and I very much believe that if it wasn’t for COVID, it would’ve ended being bought out by the NFL and turned into a minor league feeder system of sorts, which would’ve been the best case scenario for the league
The XFL for the people who watched it was amazing. The issue was the pandemic shutting everything down. The XFL hella fun
Wrong Adam. The reboot of Tough Enough gave us the answer the the great question of life. That answer was "Melina vs Alicia Fox"
Pretty much the only reason the new XFL didn't survive was the pandemic. The ratings taper was nowhere near as pronounced as expected. Minus covid it would have succeeded as an off-season League
The ice cream bars should have made the list, they came back after many years as small ice cream sandwiches and with a totally different flavor which wasn't really that good.
I really enjoyed WWE ECW. The first year wasn’t great but from Vengeance 2007 onwards the brand was great minus the name it was a solid product.
1 In 2007 you had Punk and Morrison ECW World Title feud
2 2008 We had a previous of Mark Henry hall of pain and Matt Hardy was a great work horse champion to carry ECW World Title.
3 2009/2010 Christian carried the brand on his back and while the final champion was a dud should of been Christian not Zeke it was still an enjoyable product.
My god Animal’s upper body is just insanely jacked.. That dude just looks STRONG
the new xfl was pretty good. it actually had a few innovative rules. it simply stopped due to covid. kinda unfortunate
Xfl reboot did not suck at all. It was great! This shouldn't be on the list at all. Completely different situation. Glad you did mention the virus as that was the main killer of this reboot, not that it sucked.
The new XFL was far from horrible. It was actually very successful.
What bugged me about The New Rockers, other than Jannetty being a heel, was the way they kept pronouncing Leif with the long E sound. I know that sounds petty, but I'm a Leif Garrett fan and was always tired of hearing his name mispronounced.
I went to a number of XFL games before covid, I dont think it's fair to bash a product when you don't even like the sport to begin with. The games were actually very entertaining, I dont go to a football game to see wrestling elements
Sure the nWo WWE reboot was kinda lame, but I'd say it was tons better than the "nWo 2000" reboot that WCW did in Dec 1999.
Reboot DX has been considered as successful Tag-Team in Mid 2000's
You just gonna ignore Shotzi Blackheart in the bottom of that latest season of Tough Enough Photo....
Wait she was in tough enough I never noticed
Exception to the "reboots always suck" rule: DuckTales 2017
Ok so let me get this straight..for the most part, cultaholic has been against “thrown together tag teams,” but would’ve been completely fine with the Snow and Jannety getting a run as long as they weren’t under the “New Rockers” monicker? Makes sense.
I was a wrestling fan up until the point wcw closed and wwe didn't have to try anymore but don't remember the new midnight express thank God lol
R.i.p road warriors
Thanks 👍
King Corbin. Poor guy now that Nakamura has the crown. Hopefully he can get his credibility back.
Dx reboot was awesome they were funny as hell and got younger kids onto triple h and Shawn michales
Has Pacitti been more wrong about anything in a video as XFL 2020?
I think it probably is a sign you shouldn't really comment on things you don't understand, I am a brit but I have played football(the American kind) so I understand whats going on, I don't really understand baseball but I am not going to say anything bad about it I just don't get it and thats ok
“Surprisingly... “The New” suck streak was broken by.... THE NEW Day 👍🏽
The Blackjacks are hall of famers but both of The New Blackjacks are also hall of famers.
+1 to rebooted XFL not belonging on this list
I already said it this week, and I will say it again...
...I HATE REBOOTS!
The first few seasons of Tough Enough were great (if you like reality TV that is), I hated season 6.
I liked DX reboot. Of course it wasn't as good as in the attitude era but it was good enough, well before Swogge joined them...
