No this isn't some sort of oddball football league set up by wrestlers. It's an interesting variant on XML that recognizes that there are many ways to describe and categorize objects. As the author writes, XFML "provides a simple format to share classification and indexing data. It also provides two ways to build connections between topics, information that lets you write clever tools to automate the sharing of indexing efforts. It's based on the principles of faceted classification, addressing many of the scaling issues with simple hierarchies."
