The Memphis Maniax was a member of the XFL, the brainchild of Pro-Wrestling guru Vince McMahon (WWF). This league played a February - April schedule, and was supposed to be the "Real Football" alternative to the overpaid NFL. The players were payed a meager wage per game, which doubled if they won. Although a multi-million dollor deal was signed with NBC to broadcast the leagues games, rating were low and the league failed after the first season, sticking both the WWF & NBC with massive financial losses. |
