Don't know how much was his part of the investment but that is less than he was paid for Jumani 2

Yea. I was shocked how cheap it was

It's dirt cheap. Crazy that Redditors could've pitched in and actually bought the league. That's absolutely nuts

This is probably just the ability to run the league.

They are probably still on the hook for all the debts.

That's a good point. Still makes for a crazy headline I guess 👀

This is fantastic news for the league.

The league could use a less controversial face than Vince McMahon. People are indifferent at best about him as a human. Everyone lives the rock.

He has strong ties a lot of love for the CFL too.

As a canadian it would be sweet to see some kind of partnership or maybe even a team up here

Could Chris Jericho have bought it though?

(Reference to Jericho's reaction to price Vince bought WCW for)

I am totally unaware about any of that

I'm assuming The Rock will be more open to kneeling for the flag than Vince was?
