The Rock 'humbled and grateful' after XFL purchase
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson expanded his entertainment empire last month with the purchase of the XFL, which he'll be operating with private investment firm RedBird Capital Partners and his ex-wife and business partner, Dany Garcia.
The actor and WWE legend reflected on his new venture in an Instagram post Tuesday, explaining how he feels as though his life has come full circle now.
Johnson was a defensive lineman at the University of Miami and part of the Hurricanes team that won a national championship in 1991, but went undrafted by the NFL. He had a brief stint with the CFL's Calgary Stampeders before embarking on a professional wrestling career.
Johnson and his partners paid around $15 million for the XFL, which was previously owned by his former WWE boss, Vince McMahon.
