Hard to know what to think. Given how Vince pulled the plug on it so quickly this past spring, you don't know whether to blame Covid for scuttling it, or if he was already losing money hand over fist and decided to use Covid as a handy excuse. Still, I heard it cost Rocky $15 million to make the buy, which seems like a good deal, even if he never sees a nickel of it back. And maybe his star power can actually make it finally sing.

I think the XFL is honestly a great idea as long as it has the right people behind it to lead and design it.  That was never Vince McMahon though.  He could have the most talented team to create a great product and it wouldn't matter because at the end of the day it's what Vince says or nothing.  The Rock on the other hand I don't see having that level of ego and if he assembles the right team I believe he could make it work
