So, it was an interesting story from Wrestling Observer Radio last night. As mentioned before, the XFL did their launch first because Vince caught wind that Charlie Ebersol was getting the AAF ducks in a row. Turns out, Vince found out - from Charlie Ebersol! What happened was that Ebersol, for whatever reason, wanted to purchase all the properties and whatnot of the XFL from Vince and NBC. Ebersol was going to be the one to re-launch the XFL. So they had a meeting. Instead of selling, Vince decided that since someone else was starting a league must be a good idea, so he rushed around to launch his league first. So, that's why we have 2 leagues. Essentially because of Vince's ego. He obviously convinced himself it was all his idea as well.
