XfL

A new (in 2001) professional football league created by the company that runs the World Wrestling Federation.

The teams were:

[Birmingham Thunderbolts]?

[Chicago Enforcers]?

[NY NJ Hitmen]?

[Orlando Rage]?

[San Francisco Demons]?

[Memphis Maniax]?

[Las Vegas Outlaws]?

[Los Angeles Xtreme]?

The XFL folded after one season, due to astonishingly poor television ratings (One NBC broadcast receiving the lowest ever market share for a moajor network prime time show).
