Rhein Fire. And it was in name only. Also, the teams did not actually move to the CFL and change names. They were considered different teams but pretty much the same players and offices.
Had the league lasted one more year the Washington Renegades would have hit the field owned by Jim Speros, instead he got the Baltimore Stallions of the CFL.
I saw two Riders games, the home opener against Frankfurt in San Antone & the next season vs the Glory in San Marcos. Fun.

Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks
There were no “Nighthawks.”
The Raleigh team was the “Skyhawks.”
The NY/NJ team was the “Knights.”
San Antonio played at Texas State in San Marcos since the Alamodome hadn't been built yet.

Saw a couple Glory games when a student at OSU in 92. I think they were the only 2 decent games they played.
This one? czcams.com/video/5lphgozIb30/video.htmlsi=Uj7ml92M1K2x9VJ4
I got my spring football fixes with these spring leagues
No mentioning of Scott Mitchell playing for Orlando?
True, just had a Thunder game playing. Had an owner interview; big egos, talk of expansion- no real plan.
Just another failed experiment in sports.
It wasn’t that bad.
