If anyone can repair the brand, it’s the Rock. He has connections and is universally liked. I didn’t watch XFL 2.0, but the quality of play was never the issue. It was the biggest carny on the planet being involved that hurt the reputation. Remove Vince, add Dwayne? That could work. That's the thing, the worst thing about the XFL has been removed. Not saying this mean the XFL will take over the world. But it will go places Vince couldn't take it because he's always a finesse, fleece, and fail his way up the ladder with everything he touches.

Imagine if all of the teams were given makeovers and new names. Like, what if we got the Tampa Bay Popcorn Farts vs. The St. Louis Cookie Pusses.

Did it ever come out to how much Vince (and investors) put in getting the XFL off the ground?
I’ve tried looking but can’t find an exact number.

Huh, I didn't know the Rock needed to launder money that badly. Turns out that what he is cooking is the books!

Admittedly, I'm sure the Rock is smart about his money but at this point he may have so much of it that he just kinda figured f*** it, this'll be a laugh.

This will either work out or be a “Justin Timberlake buys MySpace” deal. There’s no middle ground. Wait, I thought it was Facebook that Justin Timberlake was the president of?

I’d also like to remind the world that Dany Garcia, the other co-owner of the XFL, is Johnson’s ex wife yet has been managing his career for over a decade.
Like, I wish my last relationship ended that well...

They had a great product last go round plus The Rock has a show on NBC which should make it easier for negotiations If they do, hopefully Bob Costas doesn't mess with that too.

That's so easy to work in, they'll just have a vehicle chase run through the middle of a stadium whilst the confused teams look on, wearing jerseys with huge XFL logos on them.
The Rock will be driving a huge but fast APC, Statham will say something about not understanding American football, and The Rock responds with a relevant quip about how he should try watching the XFL because it's easier to understand and more exciting.
It practically writes itself!

The XFL selling for $15mil is the mainstream sports version of WWE buying WCW for $2-3mil, right? All honesty, it probably sold for more: Rock is a partner in this with some capital group called Redbird, I think, who apparently also have a stake in YES (the Yankees' sports network here in the NYC region), so he's probably more just the public face of this while they put in the majority of the money. He's essentially going to be Dana White, being the public face of the company except he put his money into the product. Let the smart people do the things that's going to make this shit successful while you out here selling the shit out of it and obviously adding input as well For $15 mill, that's nothing to lose because the gains if this hit could be crazy
