Dwayne Johnson draws learnings from his own experiences
Talking to GQ about his love for football and his personal experience as a wrestler, the actor shared that he focused on providing entertainment for the audience.
Black Adamstar recalled,
“I started wrestling in flea markets before I got to the WWE. Even in front of 50 people, it was all about sending them home happy. And it’s the exact same thing with the XFL. So I’m excited about 2024 now that fans feel more confident that over this, they got something here.
Bank on it, dude. They can bank on it. We like to say that you watch football, but hopefully, fans are gonna feel like they experience an XFL game. So that’s what I’m excited about, man, for 2024.”
In the context of XFL, he added,
“One of the things that I’m most excited about next season is, watching our XFL cities create their own identity and culture. Like DC, like St. Louis, some of these markets like Seattle, Orlando, and San Antonio. Who knows, coming out of the championship game, what kind of culture is going to be created down in Arlington? I’m excited about that, man because we’re sports lovers. We’re football lovers.
I love the beer snake. I want to create the Teremana Snake. But it always comes down to the fan experience and what those fans can create.”
In terms of finance, Johnson’s XFL did not fare well in 2023 and faced a loss of $60 million.
