XFL looks like it’s coming back 17 years later

After almost two decades, the Xtreme might get a chance to defend their championship.
The XFL, which had a meteoric rise-and-fall run through the pro-sports landscape in 2000-01, apparently is returning. Vince McMahon, owner of World Wrestling Entertainment and co-owner of the original, self-styled rebel football league, has scheduled a news conference for noon today.
According to several media reports, McMahon will announce the return of the XFL, possibly in 2020.
