Bruce Prichard reacts to The Rock being co-owner of XFL

The Rock, Dani Garcia, and RedBird Capital recently purchased the XFL for a sum of $15 million. They aim to bring the XFL back for a season in 2021. WWE legend Bruce Prichard recently spoke about The Rock becoming co-owner of the XFL on his podcast, Something To Wrestle:

Happy as s*** for him. If you watch Ballers, it really is a real-life episode and it's a real Dwayne Johnson goal. Speaking of hard work, I've never seen anybody other than Vince that works as hard as him, and he is constantly driven, has goals, busts his a** and doesn't get anything for free.

Thanks for the post guys. My pro-football dreams never came true, but buying the XFL allows me to help other player’s dreams come true. And give the fans something special and fun - for the love of football. @DanyGarciaCo #GerryCardinale @xfl2020 https://t.co/k7hIpHdwoI

Prichard also talked about The Rock's love for football and added that he was happy that the XFL was staying alive:

So, I'm happy for him. I'm happy that it's staying alive, and I'm happy that someone that I know has a hand in molding it and being a part of it. So, Rock has a love for football. He always has, and for him to achieve that, I think that's cool as s***. H/T: Wrestling INC

The 2020 return season of the XFL started in February but was forced to close down the following month because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The league filed for bankruptcy in April.

In his response, Bruce Prichard said there wasn't anybody that wanted that badly. Here's what he had to say:

I don't think that there was anybody from WCW that we wanted. 'Oh My God! We got to have them!' The Giant [Big Show] was intriguing. We got The Giant; besides that, you know, Jericho was intriguing. Jericho came over, but there wasn't anybody [where we said], 'Boy, I wish I had him. H/T: Wrestling INC
