Talk Is Jericho

The XFL with Charlie Ebersol

Episode Summary

This Was The XFL is an upcoming ESPN 30 for 30 documentary directed by Charlie Ebersol, son of Dick Ebersol, who along with Vince McMahon founded the short-lived league! But for all the hype & fanfare surrounding the launch, and the spectacular public failure before the first season even ended, the XFL left quite a legacy – mic’ed players, sky cameras, and the ultimate fan experience. And those are some of the stories you’ll hear from Charlie, who was a teenager when his dad and Vince were getting the league going! He’s got great behind-the-scenes stories about some of the crazier XFL stunts like The Scramble! Charlie also spent a lot of time backstage at Saturday Night’s Main Event hanging out with Hulk Hogan!
