Birmingham Thunderbolts
The Thunderbolts (typically abbreviated just as the “Bolts”) were Birmingham’s entry in the original XFL, the much-maligned pro football joint venture between WWE wrestling impresario Vince McMahon and NBC Sports during the winter and spring of 2001. The Bolts suffered a grim fate, posting the league’s worst record at 2-8 and folding along with the rest of the XFL after just one season.
