I think I may have figured out why I’m not a huge fan of movies. I mean, I like some but given the option of watching a movie or going out and doing almost any other recreational activity, I’m passing on the theater.
It’s because reality is so much better.
19 years ago The Rock, before he was known as the movie star Dwayne Johnson, was at the peak of his popularity in professional wrestling. When Vince McMahon started the original XFL he even had The Rock show up at a Los Angeles Enforcers game to cut a promo before kickoff.

Fast forward to August 3, 2020 and The Rock is now part-owner of the XFL.
Johnson, aka The Rock and business partner Dany Garcia have teamed up with Gerry Cardinale and RedBird Capital Partners to purchase the league’s parent company for roughly $15 million, the private investment firm announced in a news release Monday.
Let’s hope this time around the XFL doesn’t catch a people’s elbow and hit rock bottom.
