True, but let's say The Rock keeps acting in films (without being on TV). His 'face' becomes less known, and his 'Rock' image starts to diminish. Pretty soon - he doesn't become as a big a draw anymore. Pretty soon - Producers stop paying him 'the big bucks'.

Perhaps if The Rock stayed on WWE TV (and kept a 'fresh face' amongst the fans), he would be more likely to be a draw in movie theatres....which means he would be more likely to get $10,000,000 per movie.
