Citing It as His Mantra for XFL’s Success, Dwayne Johnson Reveals One Thing He Never Listens to Despite Being Told His Whole Life

Throughout the years, Dwayne Johnson went from being a famous wrestler’s son to the most recognizable face in Hollywood. The climb to the top is riddled with obstacles and struggles and Johnson has seen all of them. From being rejected by the NFL to getting booed heavily by fans in his early WWE days, Johnson has seen his fair share of trouble in his career.

Johnson isn’t among the ones getting easily fazed by all the hate or negativity he may receive. To stay one step ahead of all this doubt and apprehension, Johnson recently revealed the mantra he has followed throughout his career.

Dwayne Johnson directly responds to XFL’s estimated loss

Recently, Forbes released an article about the estimated loss of Johnson’s newest project, XFL. After losses totaling $60 million for his first season, all eyes are on Johnson, if he continues the league or like his former boss, Vince McMahon, files for bankruptcy after starting the league.

The title of the article, ‘Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Says The XFL Will Succeed. Who Wants To Tell Him He’s Wrong?‘ and Johnson replied to it. Revealing his mantra he wrote, “I’ve tried to tell him his whole life but he’s never listened to me.” The feeling of not stopping until achieving success is inbuilt into The Rock, and even he can’t stop himself.

Johnson continued to address the successes and losses during the recent season. After that, he detailed how the next season will be bigger and better.

Given the reports that have been coming one after another, there is no way people can say that the XFL is over.

While XFL’s estimated loss might be significant, it could still prosper in 2024

Just hours after the estimated loss made the social media rounds, a middle linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks, Bobby Wagner tweeted that he would like to be in Johnson’s league next season. Having such an accomplished NFL player in his league would definitely boost Johnson’s league’s numbers.

In addition to potentially adding a big star, Johnson is also giving a boost to his players in general. Johnson has poured millions into the new player health and safety measures. Involving measures of concussions, rehabilitation, and recoveries, Johnson has taken another step toward making the XFL a reputable league. Also between 75-100 XFL players will compete in NFL camps come this fall.

Dwayne Johnson’s idea of playing the long game may just prove to be the right approach when it comes to XFL and fans will keep a close eye on the league’s performance next season.
