I think the more likely "What if..." question is what if God showed up and tagged with Shawn Michaels back at Backlash a few years back.
But to your point, there would be an instant ratings spike. People would love him. He would single handedly bring the ratings to a very respectable 2.5 or so...then as people slowly got over the instant "OMG! THE ROCK!" sensation, TNA's repetitive book would settle in. TNA's rating would decline to a solid 1.5-2.0 rating. The Rock would lose many many millions in bankability with the Hollywood crowd, his career would never be the same, and TNA would continue to march on.
Seriously, everyone, put the idea of Dwayne Johnson ever coming back for more than a one night WWE appearance out of your head. He is, pardon the wrestling term, so over in Hollywood right now. All anyone is talking about is how he's the next A-List guy, and in many ways, he's not the next anything, he is an A-Lister. The man has a 12.5 million asking price. For one movie, working 3 months tops, at the level he's at now it would take him about 6 or 7 years busting his ass every night to make in WWE.
He's rich, he's happy, and possibly best of all he has an entire industry kissing his ass BEGGING him to work with them as opposed to having to play nice politics with the, let's admit it, ego maniac jackasses backstage.
