Told ya’ll XFL will be way more successful than this league. 

This league’s model was pretty bad. Promoted itself as a minor league, terrible terrible team names and logos, hired mostly HCs in like their 70’s, and there wasn’t really anything edgy about it.

...and the product of the field was terrible. A lot of the game were hard to watch.

Well, the XFL isn't going to be edgy like WWE's product used to be, or the original XFL for that matter, but Vince cashed out over $500 million in WWE stock to create Alpha Entertainment, so they certainly won't be going under because of money.  Not to mention, Oliver Luck is in charge of the league, and he ran NFL Europe for many years, so he knows how to run an operation that is to the scale of the XFL/AAF.

Plus the XFL will go heavy on marketing and have some amazing team names and logos. I still cannot believe the absolute c*ap AAF came up with. A 5 year old would of been more creative.

Sucks if it's true. Millions of dollars went into this. Where did it all go? Is it really so hard to keep an 8-team minor league alive for less than three months?

Apparently.

It is when your business plan completey sucks and have zero creativity.

As I understand it, Dundon's entire reason to invest in the AAF was "to create proprietary gambling tech."  It looks like he's taking the excuse to cut and run either now that he has it or that he doesn't like what he's got.  Hopefully someone with interests in the football side of things can swoop in.
