Vince McMahon announced that XFL is returning in 2020. And people had a lot of thoughts about it! Will it be a success? Probably not, but it will be different and certainly a spectacle.
Here are the best reactions on Twitter to the announcement!

Vince didn’t always answer a question, but the opening rap sure did!
The stupid XFL rap arguably had more substantive information than Vince have during the conference call.

Did Vince just take a shot at Raw?
Vince McMahon asks who wants to sit through a 3 – 3 1/2 hour and have games under that time frame – yes, who could imagine sitting down for three hours every week?

Ah, the XFL returning is a wonderful idea! American Football has always been way too flashy. I’m sure this will be a new, more refined, and wholesome, beginning for the sport! Bravo, @VinceMcMahon! #XFL2020
