The Rock issued a statement saying,"The acquisition of the XFL with my talented partners, Dany Garcia and Gerry Cardinale, is an investment for me that’s rooted deeply in two things - my passion for the game and my desire to always take care of the fans."
"With pride and gratitude for all that I’ve built with my own two hands, I plan to apply these callouses to the XFL, and look forward to creating something special for the players, fans, and everyone involved for the love of football."As for The Rock, he famously played college football at the University of Miami back in the day before becoming a global pro wrestling superstar with Vince McMahon's WWE.
He's gone on to become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood -- and a storyline on his show"Ballers" had his character pursuing the purchase of an NFL franchise.
MrDrewENT NFL take down. Part of the plan.
YEAH!!! I’m PUMPED!!! The XFL is back. The TheRock and DanyGarciaCo will make the xfl2020 a Huge Success ForTheLoveOfFootball 🏈
I went to XFL and it was great, but spend an extra $900 on tits per game and you would sell that shit out. Tits sell
He supposedly made hundreds of millions and is worth 140 million, and he Doesn’t have 15 to buy it on his own? Hmmm...
I thought 💭 he was a smart man, hopefully he proves me wrong, although the unis r a sight to see
Good move 💪🏾
Not worth much.
YEAH!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! The XFL is Back. Go XFLBattleHawks 🏈🏈🏈
We stand for the national anthem. ! Anybody who start something new and runs with it with no fear you’re going to go all the way we will take you there ! Let’s go!
Good boy.
*Dany Garcia buys XFL
TheRock apparently has more money than brains. Good tax deduction.
Wish i had $15 mil to throw away......
Sweet.
Alright Spencer Strasmore
Losing investment.
Ballers!!! 🏈
Ragrets.
Bernstrom DE-FEN-DERS!!!
Anyone who thinks it’s a bad investment has not been paying attention... Yes, first time was a flop but only because it wasn’t taken seriously - Second time was on its way to success and then Pandemic hit...
Even if he tries he won’t be able to spend al the money he’s made in his lifetime so why not? Do something fun with it. But based on I think I’ve heard he gets paid per movie it seems like a small amount he put in. Anyway, millionaire issues LOL. I like it, league was good.
Hellllll yeahhhh
Yes !!!!
Yes!
Whats an XFL?! 🧐
This dude is a serious asshole. Just plays the same character in every recent movies hes been, and acts like owns the fast and furious franchise after coming in at the tail end and deciding to make this irrelevant, worthless spin off. No wonder his own cast members hate him.
Vince McMahon got his money back 🤔
u ain’t slick spencer strasmore
It looks like xfl2020 Is back of the dead.
Investment partner left out like :
Finally...
Not interested in the XFL not my thing
The partner:
He has that kind of FU money to lose!?!
We didn't want it the first 2 times, why try for a 3rd?
BrandonPerna
Congratulations to XFL for successfully conning someone else to invest in their business.
If he likes throwing money away, that's a great move! Lmao. Even if covid didnt hit, the league would have stumbled and struggled to finish the season. Hyped up 1st two games, then all downhill because the talent and coaching is AAA ball at best & that's not worth watching. 💯
Haha gonna be making a team for nfl
If you smell what The Rock's cooking
Smbappe7
Can’t wait for it be back
CONGRATS
Wow another SJW League. When do they kneel?
Get the fuck out of here the Rock just became a partner in the XFL what u guys think good or bad move? TheRock
diidlake It was good this year
15 mil?! That sounds like he struck a really good deal. Huge upside potential to this
IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLLL! WHAT. THE ROCK IS COOKING!
Remember when Justin Timberlake bought MySpace?
if they kneel for our national anthem I am out.
What exactly is he “buying”? The name?
He is a B0$$ waited right up until they were about to file bankruptcy and moved in. Congratulations TheRock you are going to bring the XFL to another level DwayneJohnson
djggml If he were smart he'd make sure it never became political. Many NFL fans would switch over to the XFL.
So new ballers season?
aakelly20
I will watch the XFL now that Vince McMahon is no longer the owner.
The rock is so savvy man! Does he ever put a step wrong either in entertainment or business? Imagine he ran for president? I guaran...*inhales* Guarandamntee! That USA would be in better shape right now. Can you smell it? - success! 💪🏻😊🤣
Thanks Rocky
Ballin !
Does this mean that my XFLDefenders ball cap will still be valid in 2021? Cause if there's one thing I miss more than drinking beer at Audi Field, it's building the beersnake
Yeee! I liked XFL, nice watching football after the NFL season
TheRock please bring back the dancers/cheerleaders to the XFL in a PROFESSIONAL capacity. WE ARE PRO-ATHLETES, TOO!! We really work so hard. Also—This might be a good time to integrate all-star cheer into pro-sports? Just a thought. 🤔
And the investment partner is
I feel like this is a really just a filming expense for BallersHBO
Awesome!
Well, I'll be damned. And $15 million is super low. He got a steal!
Seems a weird time to buy a sports franchise when other sports are having a hard time staying open.
Set that money on 🔥
I've never even heard of the XFL....
Its a good product, just bad timing!
Big Galoot buys a Failing Sports franchise.... Seems about right.
First he bought the Chiefs and now he's bought an entire league. Season 6 of Ballers is going to be lit.
Does TheRock realize that BallersHBO was just a make believe TV series? Was robcorddry one of the buyers as well? xfl ballers
cues Lil Wayne's 'Right Above it'
Why tho?
Zackmundo well this could be interesting
This could be good
BrandonPerna Hmmm..wonders...Is this just a trail for an episode of BallersHBO
titiansgames
Used to like this dude until I became aware of the crimes he's committing against children.
Why do people keep trying to make this league work? It won't.
solomonster This ought to be it's own podcast
WHAT A WASTE OF FUCKING MONEY!! DIDNT HE LEARN FROM THE TWO PREVIOUS FAILED ATTEMPTS MAGA
Just in case you thought you couldn't love The Rock any more. He does something Xtreme! 😎
I dont think NFL will finish this season. XFL is like lighting money on fire. Whats next, a buy out of Golds Gym?
If •Success• was a person🐏
Sadly it’s gonna get filed for bankrupt soon again...
He really thinks he still on BallersHBO lol...
Damn we were one year too late 🤷🏾♂️
damn the XFL was pretty cheap lol
Great investment dude.
Bringin back Ballers 😆
RELATED NEWS: matisyahu buys Yahoo ...so now when you get shitty search results, they might at least rhyme sometimes
Holy shit
He should buy AOL next lol
15 million for a whole sports league? Wow
big bold move by TheRock 💪🏽 XFL has mega talent & a bright future
Real life BALLERS
Shit was cheap lmao
FOOTBALL IS SAVED
Crazy went from losing his spot to warren sapp being undrafted and then being cut from a Canadian league to owning his own league. Rags to riches
dumb move
MegBritGib
What’s that smell? Who’s cooking? 👀
15 mil to the Rock is like a 1000 to me
Ballers, make it happen bra!!
How negotiations between the rock and Vince McMahon ended:
YMTE nicolewdc
3rd times a charm 🙄😂

johnrat
Nice!
He makes more doing one movie good deal for him
That’s taking a L
Art imitates life.💰 Ballin'.
When BallersHBO becomes real life XFL XFLBattleHawks
Cut from the CFL to now owning his own league. That’s a success story
15 mil to the TheRock is lunch money to the common man
When ballers becomes reality
He's got enough money that if it doesn't pan out he'll be all right
Ouch.
son tryna bring Ballers to real life ...
