In 1999, during half-time of NFL's Super Bowl XXXIII, WWF aired a short but exciting World Championship match between then-champion The Rock and challenger Mankind. Mick Foley's alter-ego defeated Dwayne Johnson - with a forklift of all things - in a Falls-Count-Anywhere match in an empty Tuscon Convention Center to win the title.

I couldn't even begin to tell you who was performing at the Super Bowl half-time show that year. ABBA, maybe? Was Smash Mouth a thing back then? Doesn't matter.

The XFL is going to have its own championship game by the end of its season. That much is a given. That game is, more than likely, going to have a Half-time Show - and they're going to try and get some impressive - or, at least, as impressive as they're able to arrange - performers. It would be kind of fun if they got Elias to come out and act like he's the entertainment, before having... I dunno... MGK or Flo Rida or whoever they manage to get have him "thrown out".

Even if they don't go that route, having some WWE stars do a watch-along on the WWE YouTube channel, much like they do for WWE PPVs, for the championship game, could be fun to see, as well.
