The guy who is the mastermind behind the WWF (McMann?) thought up The XFL - it is either the "Extreme Football League" or like a prev. post "X-rated Football League". Any guy who did not make the NFL- tried out and could become a part of the XFL. Same concept only rules are bent. Microphones are in the locker rooms, huddles, sidelines so you get all the raw edgy stuff these guys can spit out. Sexy cheerleaders on the sidelines giving all out performances, and rules don't apply - I'm sure more pain is involved too.
