May Day 10 Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 I would bet this redbird capital thing spent most of the money. The rock probably got in with very favorable terms to provide headlines and be the face of ownership

I think he actually tried that the first time the XFL was around. I think the Rock played college football for the "U". He got hurt and that ended any hopes of an NFL career. I don't think he would bring wrestling into this as he is actually a football fan. Edited August 4, 2020 by Greg S 1

Hope they can make it work. Football in the spring would be nice as the offseason for the NFL is a long one.
aristocrat Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 the league will need years to figure out how to run as a separate league like the cfl does. they need to find a way to keep talent or at least have some kind of pipeline.

holla83 Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 I'd be curious to know how Vince McMahon feels about this. Rumor had it he was trying to buy it back.

TheFunPolice Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 There could be spring football this year: college football
DFT Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 And to think... He could have purchased my fantasy team for HALF that.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Actual investment for Dwayne was $7.5MM. Redbird payed the other $7.5MM.
machine gun kelly Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Given how much he’s worth, it might be worth it if he can find a way after the pandemic to fleece it for a year and get an ROI. His name will get the recognition and given he’s worth $350 mil., there’s probably very little downside for him.
Fr. Jerk Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Dwayne is at "I can do whatever I want status," ya dig?
Doc Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Just now, The Jerk said: Dwayne is at "I can do whatever I want status," ya dig? True, but that doesn't mean it will be successful.

Is there some back room handshake? That's certainly a possibility. It crossed my mind also. There are articles that say Vince was in a "volatile" mood backstage at Raw last night. One thing may have nothing to do with the other but the timing was interesting.
