I did not now that. A quick google tells me this is again a Vince vehicle with all 8 teams owned centrally with him heading it up. That structure and the Wrestling link is a massive turn off.

It was absolute gash the first time around....
Now I love a good cheerleader but from my memory it was presented something like the running man gameshow in the Arnie film

From the thing i read yesterday the WWE style of the first incarnation was its biggest turn off for fans. Personally i'm not sure how you can have a legitimate sporting event that is linked to a the Wrestling which is more theater than sport. Haven't seen it yet though.

Its NFL on a strict stopwatch mate so its non stop.
Last 2 mins of each quarter sees the clock stopped regardless after each play to get more action in and the focus is on high speed, high points scoring action.
Sure its not NFL standard but from what i watched yesterday it was really and enjoyable watch and its their 20/20 which the crowd seemingly loved.

Well there are definitely issues with the NFL that has taken loads of corporate money over the years and is almost built for TV add revenue at the expense of fan enjoyment.
Calling it there 20 20 might be optimistic though. There are plenty of fringe sports leagues in the US and they all tend to go one way. A guy i work with played arena football for a couple of years - he played in front of some pretty big crowds 20kish I think.
