I grew up in it. My grandfather and my dad started here in Canada. So, I&#8217;m not quite too sure if a board seat is in my future, but possibly other things are in my future, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the topic of WWE getting sold, Rock says the buyer must love the wrestling business. \u201cI think the key if there were a sale of the WWE is to make sure that whoever acquires that brand in that property, you&#8217;ve got to love the wrestling business, Rock said. &#8220;Of course, you can love the asset and you can love everything that comes with it, but you got to love the professional wrestling business \u2026 because if not, then you could kind of see the writing on the wall; four or five years down the road, what will happen?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rock recently ruled out a run for President of the United States.
